"I just want to go back to Sanyu Village with you."
“You’re still injured.” Yu Tang was used to it and didn’t mind Mu Nancheng playing with his hand. He skillfully picked up another dumpling, dipped it in vinegar sauce, and fed it to Mu Nancheng: “Go back after you’re healed.”
"No, I just want to go back tomorrow." Mu Nancheng thought of Elaine, whom he had seen a few times recently.
He always felt that Elaine's gaze towards Yu Tang was unusual. This morning, he even heard Yu Tang on the phone say that he was going to meet Elaine again tomorrow. How could he feel comfortable about that?
"Is it because of Elaine?" Yu Tang's words exposed his thoughts.
Mu Nancheng's hand, which had been playing with his fingers, suddenly froze, and he stubbornly insisted, "No..."
Yu Tang knew perfectly well what was going on. She took the initiative to spread her five fingers, entwine them with Mu Nancheng's fingers, and hold them tightly.
"He contacted me only to hand over his shares."
"Moreover, there was someone even more important in his heart, but he had already passed away."
He thought of what Elaine had told him, and his voice lowered slightly: "After all, not everyone is as lucky as you and me."
Yu Tang knew that if he didn't return to these worlds, then every life he and Wei Yuan lived would inevitably end in tragedy.
First, he arrogantly deceived Wei Yuan, and then Wei Yuan set a trap to deceive him in order to save him.
If he hadn't realized the other party's intentions early on, he probably would have had his memories erased and become an unattached being of the Heavenly Dao.
Mu Nancheng noticed that Yu Tang was in low spirits, but he didn't know why. He guessed that the other party might be annoyed by his indiscriminate jealousy, so he carefully tapped Yu Tang's hand lightly: "I'm sorry, I was being petty."
Seeing that Yu Tang had come to his senses, Mu Nancheng reached out and gently smoothed the slight frown on Yu Tang's brow.
She smiled and said, "I've figured out what I want."
"I just want you to be happy."
"May I live a long and healthy life, filled with peace and joy. That would be the best birthday gift for me."
Chapter 26
The villain is resurrected for the eighth time (26) - World ends
Yu Tang ultimately canceled his appointment with Elaine and discharged Mu Nancheng from the hospital that same day, booking a flight back to South Korea.
Before the plane took off, Yu Tang received a call from Lao Huang.
"I'm so busy with these shares now that I can't even get away!" Old Huang grumbled as usual, "But you, you took M to escape to a life of leisure, leaving everything to me!"
"Thank you for your help."
Seeing Yu Tang's apologetic expression, Lao Huang swallowed the rest of his complaints that were stuck in his throat.
He asked Yu Tang, "Are you really not planning to be an assassin anymore?"
“Yes…” As he spoke, Mu Nancheng leaned over to fasten his seatbelt.
Yu Tang's gaze fell upon him, gentle and tender.
"People who have ties to their lives no longer want to fight and kill, and I'm no exception."
Old Huang was taken aback, but then he understood.
He spat at his phone and said, "This is so cruel! You're even targeting this old single dog like me! Get out of here! Don't let me see you again!"
As he said this, there was a hint of amusement in his voice. He then hung up the phone, saying only one sentence.
Take care from now on.
Retiring from the life of a hitman is an extremely risky endeavor.
Yu Tang then chose to go to South Korea, a place where he knew no one, and the road ahead might be very difficult.
But he also sincerely hoped that the two of them could escape this dangerous circle and never come back.
"Tired?" After hanging up the phone, Yu Tang looked at Mu Nancheng, who was resting his head on his shoulder with his eyes slightly closed.
I asked the flight attendant for a thin blanket and covered him with it.
"Mmm..." Under the blanket, Mu Nancheng held Yu Tang's hand and rubbed his head against Yu Tang's neck, in his usual coquettish style.
Seeing him like this, Yu Tang also felt a little sleepy.
He reached out and cushioned Mu Nancheng's back, making sure he was a little further away from the backrest and that he could lean against him as much as possible: "Do your wounds still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt..."
"Then take a nap. I'll wake you up when it's time to eat."
"good……"
They took a flight in the morning and didn't arrive in South Korea until evening.
Yu Tang bought Mu Nancheng a cake, they ate longevity noodles, and he celebrated his birthday at the hotel.
After waking up, we set off for Sanyu Village.
Because after Mu Nancheng woke up and discovered that he had become Killer M, he came here again and stayed for a while.
Therefore, the layout here has not changed much.
There were just a few more weeds.
besides……
"I buried you and my urn under the locust tree."
The question sounded awkward, so Mu Nancheng scratched his head and asked Yu Tang, "Now that we've all been reborn, should we dig up our ashes and bury them somewhere else?"
Looking at the locust tree and listening to Mu Nancheng's words, Yu Tang didn't know what expression to make.
Bury yourself, then dig yourself out?
It just feels weird no matter how you look at it.
"Never mind, just leave it here." As she said this, Yu Tang looked at the familiar arrangement in the yard and recalled the first time she met Mu Nancheng. She smiled and said, "I remember when I first met you, you were squatting in front of the stove, eating a steamed bun, looking at me with a terrified expression, and you kept screaming. In the end, I had to use a trick to scare a child to scare you."
"Back then, you seemed a bit silly, but your eyes were clear and bright, like the most beautiful black gemstone in the world. You were so endearing."
"And now?" Mu Nancheng asked, sounding a little aggrieved. He turned to look at Yu Tang and said, "I'm not stupid anymore, so does that mean you don't like me anymore?"
“How could that be?” Yu Tang pressed his forehead: “No one stays the same forever.”
"Society is like a big dye vat. Everything you experience and everyone around you will become dyes of various colors. Only in the process of being dyed can you know more clearly what you want."
Only then can you know what kind of person you truly want to become.
“Take you for example…” Yu Tang smiled at him, “I will only like you more.”
Mu Nancheng's pupils trembled.
A touch of light red was added to the tips of the ears.
He turned and pushed out a bicycle that hadn't been used in a long time from the makeshift shed. He carefully wiped the dust off the bicycle and said to Yu Tang, "Get on, let's go to town. You promised me a chick, but we haven't bought it yet."
Yu Tang glanced at his still-bandaged arm, then snatched the bicycle from him and patted the large basket on the back: "Okay. I'll ride the bike, you sit here and sing for me."
Mu Nancheng was taken aback and asked, "What song?"
Yu Tang climbed onto the bike, pointed to the basket, and Mu Nancheng climbed in before he said, "It's that 'Chirp Chirp Song,' you used to sing it all the time and even talk to the chicks. Don't tell me you've forgotten it all."
When this matter was mentioned, Mu Nancheng's ears turned even redder.
But after the initial embarrassment, a warm feeling spread through my heart.
Looking back now, those carefree days with Yu Tang were indeed what he had wanted most in his life.
Yu Tang was riding his bike when he heard no sound from behind.
Thinking that Mu Nancheng was unwilling, she smiled and continued to provoke him: "I just remembered, I asked you to grant one of those three wishes, and this 'Chirp Song' is the third one. If you don't sing it, I won't let you sleep with me tonight."
"Okay, okay, I'll sing, I'll sing!" Mu Nancheng quickly grabbed his clothes.
The hurried movements made Yu Tang laugh.
He waited a while longer, and then he heard a "chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp" sound coming from the basket behind him.
The sound echoes through the countryside, accompanied by the gentle breeze and the fragrance of spring in March.
It dispelled the chill and warmed people's hearts.
Thank you everyone for urging me to update and for the little gifts... Just wondering, does anyone want to see a side story about Elaine? Probably just two chapters...
Chapter 27
Elaine extra
"Young Master, it's time to get up."
The curtains were drawn back, letting in the morning light.
The boy with delicate features on the bed frowned as the sunlight shone on him. He moved his fingers under the covers, about to pull the thin blanket up to cover his face.
But a gloved hand gently pressed down on it.
“Young Master, today is Miss Nora’s birthday. You promised to go shopping with her, and you can’t break your promise.”
The man's voice was warm and pleasant, and after lingering in Elaine's ear a few times, it worked.
The boy finally opened his eyes, lazily sat up, his soft hair hanging down beside his ears, and his black silk pajamas were delicate and cool.
Because the buttons weren't fastened properly, most of her shoulder was exposed.
Her collarbones are clearly defined and sexy.
Yad reached out and helped him straighten up.
Elaine looked up at him, her words, though spoken in a commanding tone, sounded rather coquettish.
"Help me change my clothes."
Over the years, he had grown accustomed to Yad's care.
This man was the all-around housekeeper his father had found for him; he was ten years older than him.
Ever since he could remember, this man had followed him closely, helping him solve all his troubles and fulfilling any request.
Elaine felt closer to Yad than to the Hall family.
