Those eyes remained clear and calm, showing none of the tension or emotion he displayed.
He couldn't help but wonder many times what Yu Tang would feel when facing Han Zichen.
What will be the reaction then?
Every time he thought about it, it would drive him mad with jealousy. He wished he could grab Han Zichen and kill that damned man in front of Yu Tang, so that Yu Tang would give up completely!
Seeing him like this, Yu Tang felt a little sorry for him.
After all, the second half of what Shen Yu said was indeed correct.
He really doesn't have many months left to live.
Death is the final departure.
Shen Yu couldn't keep him at all.
"Yes, I understand." Yu Tang walked over and tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve: "It's getting late, let's go back to sleep."
He said, "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can get up early to make you mooncakes."
"My handmade mooncakes are even tastier than the ones you buy outside." He coaxed Shen Yu gently, "Don't you like strawberry flavor? They're so pink and tender, just like Barbie's dress..."
"Enough!" Shen Yu was furious at the mention of Barbie, and his emotions were interrupted, which also dispelled some of the gloom in his heart. He slapped Yu Tang's hand away: "Don't keep mentioning Barbie to me!"
Yu Tang couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, I won't mention it anymore, alright?" He took out a strawberry-flavored hard candy from his pocket, unwrapped it, stuffed it into Shen Yu's mouth, and then ruffled the young man's hair: "Here, have a candy to calm down."
After his personality merged, Shen Yu retained some of his childlike temperament.
They are also easier to get along with now.
Moreover, she became more and more tolerant of Yu Tang, and even when he patted her head like that, she didn't get angry with him.
Aside from having a slightly grumpy expression, he's perfectly well-behaved.
Shen Yu slapped his hand away and walked into the room with the candy in his mouth.
Yu Tang smiled and wanted to chase after him, but his throat felt itchy.
"Cough cough cough..."
He covered his mouth, turned his back, hunched over, and tried his best to endure it.
He coughed softly and suppressedly, followed by a metallic taste in his mouth, and blood trickled from between his fingers.
In a hurry, Yu Tang quickly wiped his hands with the inside of his sleeve, and then grabbed some dirt from the ground to clean the blood off his palms.
"Yu Tang?" Shen Yu walked into the main house but hadn't seen Yu Tang come in yet, so he turned around and called out to him, "What are you doing?"
"Aren't you coming over here right now?"
Yu Tang stood up, her pale lips turning an unnatural red under the moonlight because they were stained with blood.
He quickened his pace to catch up with Shen Yu, tucking his sleeves behind his back: "Sorry, Mr. Shen, I lost something, which caused a little delay."
"Oh..." Shen Yu didn't suspect him and continued forward: "Let's go, go to sleep early, or we won't be able to get up tomorrow."
He muttered under his breath, "I'm still waiting to eat your strawberry mooncakes."
Yu Tang smiled helplessly and said nothing.

The next day, Yu Tang struggled to get out of bed.
It felt incredibly heavy.
The medicine didn't work.
The system told him that, given the condition of his body, he could only last for three to four months at most, and his time in this world was running out.
Yu Tang sighed, looking somewhat troubled.
He hadn't figured out how to escape without Shen Yu's knowledge.
My lifespan is almost over.
It's a relentless, aggressive approach.
Just as the mooncakes were being made, Shen Yu got up.
He strolled over to Yu Tang's side, ignoring the gazes of the servants around them, and wrapped his arms around the man's waist from behind, kissing Yu Tang's neck and then nuzzling him affectionately.
Yu Tang's breath hitched.
He nudged Shen Yu: "Mr. Shen, with so many people watching, this isn't appropriate."
Shen Yu snorted: "If anyone thinks it's bad, just gouge out their eyes."
The servants immediately lowered their heads, each one wishing they could bury their heads in the ground on the spot.
I sighed inwardly; this is the power of capital.
Yu Tang had no choice but to let him have his way.
"But why do I feel like you've lost weight again?" Shen Yu measured Yu Tang's waist with his arm, frowning. "Didn't you drink all the traditional Chinese medicine I got to regulate your body? Why isn't it working?"
Yu Tang quickly explained, "It might be a matter of physical constitution."
How could a cancer patient gain weight?
He just hoped that Shen Yu wouldn't take him to see a doctor.
Otherwise, if it's exposed, everything will be over.
"Your constitution is too weak." Shen Yu said somewhat unhappily, "I need to think of some other ways to improve your health."
Seeing that he didn't suspect anything, Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out the mooncakes he had made and handed them to Shen Yu: "Master Shen, please try one and see if it's good."
Shen Yu didn't take it with his hands, but instead opened his mouth and bit into the mooncake directly from Yu Tang's hand, leaving a ring of teeth marks.
The sweetness of the strawberries melted in his mouth, and Shen Yu smiled, his eyes crinkling: "Delicious, everything you make is delicious."
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, his heart was touched and began to beat a little fast.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
He replied to Shen Yu, "If you like it, that's fine."
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Yu got busy again.
The number of social engagements was frightening; even Yu Tang was having trouble keeping up with his schedule.
In October, the two attended a welcome banquet hosted by a real estate tycoon. While Shen Yu was surrounded by guests, a hand suddenly reached out from behind Yu Tang and pulled him behind a heavy curtain.
Upon seeing Han Zichen's face, Yu Tang instantly understood.
The important plot is finally about to begin.
"I heard you've been doing well lately." Han Zichen's eyes were full of sarcasm as he grabbed Yu Tang by the collar. "Shen Yu trusts you completely now, right? I bet if you stole his information now, he wouldn't suspect a thing."
"Young Master, I've already said I won't betray Master Shen."
"Don't be so quick to refuse." Han Zichen took out a photo from his pocket and showed it to Yu Tang. The photo showed a high school girl who looked somewhat like Yu Tang, wearing a blue and white school uniform and smiling brightly. "Actually, you're not an orphan. You have a younger sister who has been adopted and is doing quite well."
Yu Tang widened his eyes in agreement, his pupils trembling slightly, and touched the photo with his hand: "I... I have a younger sister..."
"Young Master, you're not joking, are you?"
"What joke do you think I'm having?" Han Zichen sneered, "I've known about this for a long time, I just haven't told you."
If you don't believe me, I can take you to get a blood relationship test done with her right now!
"I believe it, I believe it..." Yu Tang's eyes reddened as she tried to get closer to the photo to take a good look, but Han Zichen blocked her way.
"But your sister is only doing well for now."
Han Zichen took a half step back, then changed the subject, holding the photo in both hands and tearing it down the girl's face bit by bit: "If you agree to let me steal the Shen family's information, she will be unharmed, but if you refuse..."
He laughed as he tore the photo in half: "Don't blame me for taking action against her!"
As Yu Tang left the banquet hall, he nearly tripped and fell down the steps, looking completely disoriented.
Shen Yu naturally noticed that something was wrong with him.
On the way home, he talked to Yu Tang. Men usually only answered one question at a time, and sometimes he would have to call out several times before they would respond.
As night deepened, after the two had washed up and were lying in bed, Shen Yu couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
“No…” Yu Tang shook his head: “Master Shen, I’m fine.”
Shen Yu frowned, feeling that things weren't so simple.
But seeing Yu Tang's expression, he probably wouldn't get any information out of him, so he had no choice but to give up.
Once Shen Yu was fast asleep, Yu Tang quietly sat up and got out of bed.
He took the cane from the shelf and gently turned the hidden lock at the top...
Chapter 20
Died a second time for the villain (20)
Shen Yu didn't lie to Yu Tang. He unscrewed the top, and there really was a small silver USB drive inside the cane, attached to the hollow inner wall.
Yu Tang bit her lower lip, took the USB drive, turned around and glanced at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, her eyes slightly red.
The emotions contained within are seven parts despair, two parts guilt, and one part resolve.
Then he put the USB drive in his pocket, walked to the bedside, and knelt down in front of Shen Yu.
As his fingers traced the young man's handsome features, Yu Tang said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, Master Shen..."
"I'm so sorry..."
At this point, his eyes welled up with tears, and he choked up as he apologized repeatedly.
