The Cherished Old Time - C202
Yu Meng’s eyes were filled with grief as she looked at Tan Yubai. Each word she spoke left her heart aching with disappointment.
These words stung Tan Yubai’s heart.
Yu Meng was just angry, so she said those words deliberately to go against him. Although she understood the painstaking efforts Tan Yubai had put in, she still could not forgive him for using her.
, I will tell you this, from today onwards, you do not need to care about me anymore. I cannot bear your love, but I can take care of my own matters! ”
Tan Yubai looked calm and indifferent, but as he clenched his fists, his fingernails clearly pierced into the flesh of his palms.
He tried his best to suppress his anger, enunciating each word coldly and with ruthless ridicule.
“Yu Meng, if you could take care of your own affairs, none of this would have happened today.”
As Yu Meng listened, her heart raced.
The two people who loved each other understood and relied on each other. Therefore, in their fury, their words would become sharp swords that pierced the heart of the other.
Their heads were spinning, and they knew exactly how weak the other party was. They were rubbing salt into each other’s wounds and saying all sorts of vicious words. They wanted to drive the other party completely mad.
Tan Yubai said: “You simply can’t do anything well.”
Yu Meng clenched her fists and stood up. She wanted to cry, but she forced herself not to show even the slightest bit of heartache.
“Yes!” If I die and I can’t do anything, I will only make you angry! Carry you on your back! In any case, you don’t need to care about me anymore! Without me, it would be great if you, Tan Yubai, could develop further! From now on, whatever I do has nothing to do with you! ”
“Alright.” Tan Yubai was enraged, he was completely enraged, he had long forced himself to the point that there was no other way out, he had endured everything until in the end, even though behind him was clearly a bottomless abyss, but she still did not blink as she pushed him down.
Ten years of love crumbled just like that.
With a single thought, he could create a relationship and destroy everything.
He stood up as well, looking at Yu Meng with an overbearing gaze. His black eyes seemed as though they were concealing an unfathomable abyss as he silently suppressed his emotions.
“Remember what you said.”
After leaving that last sentence, Tan Yubai turned around and left without looking back.
If heartache could be described, then Tan Yubai didn’t have a single word to say. This was because his heart had died, and he was completely numb to it.
He finally understood that not every time a thousand sails were exhausted, there would be peace. Not every time a storm blew, there would be a rainbow. Not every effort would be rewarded.
Tan Yubai left in such a calm manner that his figure completely disappeared into the distance. Only then did Yu Meng slowly regain her senses.
She could not help but walk forward, and when she reached the corner, the corridor around the corner was also empty. In the air, there seemed to still be the smell of Tan Yubai’s body.
She smelled it carefully, and the acrid smell of disinfectant made her cough.
It didn’t seem to have any taste of him.
Yu Meng’s heart was empty. It was as if her previous anger had also vanished.
This was the first time in all these years that she had allowed him to leave in such a calm and resolute manner.
Just as Yu Meng was lost in thought, the door to the emergency room was opened.
The doctor came out as he removed his mask.
Yu Meng did not have time to let her imagination run wild as she quickly walked back to her room.
“Doctor, how is it?”
“The patient is fine, but she needs rest.”
“Alright, thank you for your hard work, Doctor.”
That night, Yu Meng was lost in thought beside Shang Hui’s bed. He didn’t wake up until a while later.
“Do you want some water?”
Shang Hui nodded his head, and Yu Meng got up to help him pour the water. She poured the warm water from the water bottle into the glass, which was already filled, but the water bottle was still in her hands.
“Cough cough …”
Shang Hui saw Yu Meng’s dazed look, he cleared his throat and reminded Yu Meng.
“AHH!”
Yu Meng regained her senses and looked at the messy table in front of her. She hurriedly wiped it with a piece of paper.
“I’m sorry.” With much difficulty, Yu Meng finally managed to help Shang Hui up and handed him a cup of water.
After Shang Hui finished drinking the water, he looked around his surroundings but did not see any traces of another man. He probably understood the reason behind Yu Meng’s blank stare.
“Pure-hearted.” He called to her, his voice hoarse. “Are you all right?”
“I’m fine.” Yu Meng smiled. “What’s wrong with that?”
“But your eyes tell me you’re not good.”
Shang Hui suddenly thought back to the day when Shang Duo had pointed his gun at them and the look in his eyes when he grabbed his wrist to say that he was not afraid. That look in his eyes was as calm as water, as if he really accepted death.
Thinking about it, Shang Hui was actually still afraid.
“Everything will be fine.”
Shang Hui thought about it for a long time, but in the end, he could only say this sentence to comfort Yu Meng.
When will all of this be restored, and it will slowly become better?
On the other side.
As the cold wine entered his stomach, Tan Yubai’s vision became hazy. He leaned on the dark red sofa, and already could not count how many empty bottles collapsed in front of him.
This way, he could slowly make the woman’s face fade from his mind.
His whole body went numb with pain at the thought of her. He didn’t want to think about it, but he finally tasted the pain of being powerless.
If he could really say that he didn’t love her, then he wouldn’t love her. If he could really say that he didn’t love her, then he wouldn’t love her.
Without her, he would have graduated from high school and been sent to Harvard, where he would have eventually made it to the top and broken all records.
He had given up bailing for her, given up the good prospects, given up all the future that should have been worthy of his intellect.
He had long since gotten used to her being around him. Dozens of years passed in the blink of an eye.
He had never regretted it, even though his heart was broken.
Tan Yubai was seated in the VIP booth at the furthest corner of the bar. He was far away from the dance floor because he hated the hustle and bustle that related to his body.
However, it was very difficult for someone to not notice his perfect and handsome face.
“Hey.”
A woman with a perfect figure, with a protruding front and back, walked towards him alluringly. She wore very simple clothes, such as a bra, a pair of shorts, and was very generous.
She sat beside Tan Yubai, bent down to pick up a cup of wine from the table, raised her hand and placed it on Tan Yubai’s shoulder, she then raised her cup and touched the wine in Tan Yubai’s hand.
“F * ck off.”
Tan Yubai remained calm and collected. His shoulders slanted and the woman held onto empty air.
“Handsome, don’t be so cold, I really want to get along with you.”
The woman approached again as she spoke.
“Pah!”
Tan Yubai’s face turned cold, he threw the bottle in his hand onto the ground, and the glass fragments flew in all directions, coincidentally slicing across the woman’s fair wrist.
“AHH!”
His wrist was instantly stained with blood.
The woman stood up and looked at Tan Yubai angrily: “Aren’t you being shameless just because you gave me face? Just you wait!”
The woman covered her wrist and ran away while crying.
Tan Yubai opened the bottle again and had just drank a few mouthfuls. Not long after, the woman from before returned, and this time, there was a man with no hair by her side.
She snuggled up against the man’s chest, crying like raindrops.
“Brother Zhang, that’s him!” He was the one who wanted to force me! I won’t, he threatened me with the bottle! Look at her cut her wrist! ”
“Wuwuwu ~”
This man called Brother Zhang looked at the woman crying in his arms and lovingly kissed her face. He even coaxed her in a soft voice. His voice didn’t match his rough voice at all.
After much effort to coax the woman to stop crying, the man turned to look at Tan Yubai, the danger in his eyes.
“You’re the one that hurt my woman?”
Tan Yubai didn’t even bother to look at him and continued drinking by himself.
“I’m asking you a question!”
The man was so angry that he walked over and grabbed the bottle of wine from Tan Yubai’s hand and threw it on the ground.
Tan Yubai finally had a reaction. He frowned and looked over.
He sneered and only spat out a few words, “Scram.”
“Say that again for laozi!?” The man glared at her. “Do you fucking know who’s covering this place? No one dares to tell me to f * * k off! ”
Tan Yubai felt that he was too noisy and annoyed to death, so he just stood up. He was tall, standing up was half a head taller than the man, he picked up a bottle of fresh wine on the table and smashed it onto the man’s head.
The wine mixed with blood slowly flowed from the man’s forehead.
After a moment of silence …
“AHH!”
The woman’s sharp screams cut through the atmosphere. The surrounding people looked towards them. That Brother Zhang was being bullied by a newcomer. He looked to be in an extremely sorry state.
He was so angry that he took out a dagger from his sleeves and thrusted it at Tan Yubai.
Tan Yubai frowned slightly, not even bothering to cut Ego’s hair.
He dodged calmly, and the man missed and fell beside Tan Yubai’s feet, surrounded by laughter.
The man on the ground was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
Almost every spectator in the bar looked in their direction. There was a constant stream of discussion, noise, and laughter. Suddenly —
All sounds came to an abrupt end.
A man walked out of the crowd. He wore a suit and had a stern expression on his face. Behind him were a bunch of his subordinates.
It seemed that he wasn’t a simple nobody.
“Big brother!” The man who called himself Brother Zhang crawled over to the man’s feet as soon as he saw the man in the suit, crying like he was crazy.
“Big brother, hurry up and help little brother out!” This man was causing trouble! I don’t care about your existence! This is simply touching the ground when you’re too young! ”
The man in the suit seemed to despise his younger brother for being too disgraceful, he raised his leg and kicked him away, then adjusted the collar of his suit and walked towards Tan Yubai.
“What, you dare to cause trouble on my territory by yourself?”
The two of them stood facing each other. They were similar in size, but their auras were different.
A gloomy and cold feeling filled the air.
One was arrogant and despotic.
