Yu Tang gently patted his back: "It will be alright..."
He said, "Ah Sheng, with me here, everything will be alright."
Zhang Damin did not die, but he was diagnosed with a concussion.
The police took the people from the gambling den and Yu Tangwei Mosheng to the police station to take their statements.
Because Zhang Damin pulled out the knife first, Wei Mosheng was ultimately judged to have acted in self-defense.
After learning about Wei Mosheng's family situation, the police, who also deeply resented Zhang Damin, comforted Wei Mosheng for a few moments and then let him go.
Zhang Damin, on the other hand, was detained by the police on charges of intentional assault because he had previously stabbed Jiang Yuan with a knife.
The two left the police station at 10 p.m.
“Once Zhang Damin wakes up, we’ll sue him and make sure he goes to jail.” Yu Tang handed the helmet to Wei Mosheng and told him to get in the car: “Let’s go, we’ll go to your house to pack things for your aunt. She’ll stay at the hospital for a while.”
"Hmm..." Wei Mosheng had suffered too many blows that day, his face was excessively pale, and he was somewhat taciturn.
The two got on the motorcycle, and Wei Mosheng seemed to have all his strength drained away. He hugged Yu Tang and leaned against his back, his weight pressing down on Yu Tang's heart, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
As the car drove along the road, Wei Mosheng opened his eyes and looked at the crisscrossing traffic around him and the brightly lit high-rise buildings in the distance.
I feel empty inside.
He thought this must be God's punishment for his greed.
Since Yu Tang appeared, his life has finally started to improve, and everything is developing in a positive direction. He believes that he can fight for what he wants and that his future will one day be bright.
But when he mustered the courage to reach out and greedily wanted more, reality dealt him a cruel blow.
Let him understand that he is always in hell, and no matter how hard he tries, he can never climb to the radiant heaven.
He couldn't help but wonder what he would have left if his mother were gone.
Is it Yutang?
Will Tang Ge always be by his side?
Wei Mosheng didn't know the answer. He only dared to secretly clutch Yu Tang's coat and pray in his heart that this man would not leave him.
Even if they can't be lovers, as long as he can still see Yu Tang, talk to him, and see him smile at him.
That's enough.
The night breeze was a bit cool, whistling past my ears.
Yu Tang heard the boy behind him speak in a hoarse voice.
"Brother Tang, don't take what I said at the school gate today seriously, it was just a joke."
"From now on, you'll still be my brother, and I'll still be your apprentice. Let's... leave it at that..."
Chapter 25
Died for the villain for the first time (25)
Yu Tang heard his words clearly, but for a moment he didn't feel fortunate.
Because the despair and sadness he felt from the boy were too intense.
As an outsider, he couldn't help Wei Mosheng in any way.
He felt somewhat guilty.
After all, his heart wasn't made of iron; even when he first arrived in this world, all he could think about was missions and points.
Things have changed now.
He wanted Wei Mosheng to get back on his feet and didn't want to see him remain so depressed forever.
"Okay, I understand." He thought for a moment and added, "As for Wei Chen, our relationship isn't what you're thinking."
"We sat down together because of the boxing match."
“I don’t have those feelings for him either,” he said. “You don’t need to guess.”
The hand gripping his clothes twitched slightly, and Wei Mosheng's heart, which had plummeted to rock bottom, quietly began to rise a little.
Why explain?
He was somewhat confused.
Yu Tang didn't need to explain to him at all, after all, the two weren't even a couple...
But... I'm so happy...
Wei Mosheng gripped Yu Tang's clothes tightly, his chest trembling, and he took a deep breath with red eyes.
He clung to Yu Tang as if he were grasping at a last straw.
That's great, that's great, Tang Ge isn't dating anyone yet.
He will not choose Wei Chen.
I still have time, and I still have hope.
"Um……"
Jiang Yuan didn't wake up until noon the next day. When she saw Wei Mosheng lying by her hospital bed, she felt extremely distressed.
Wei Mosheng was a light sleeper, and he woke up immediately when he felt the woman gently stroking his hair.
"Mom, how are you feeling?" Wei Mosheng took her hand and held it in his own, forcing a smile: "What do you want to eat? Your son will buy it for you."
He said, "If you don't want to eat what you buy, I'll go home and make it for you right now."
“Sheng Sheng…” Jiang Yuan sighed, knowing from Wei Mosheng’s expression that she couldn’t hide it anymore.
"I'm sorry..." Her eyes were slightly red. "Mom didn't mean to hide it from you. I just didn't want to interfere with your studies."
"I've wronged you so much over the years. I finally see you happy, how could I bear to tell you this kind of news and make you sad?"
She emphasized, "Don't blame Xiaotang. I asked him to keep it from you. I'm so grateful to him for taking me to the hospital these days. I don't know how to thank him enough."
"Yes, yes, Mom, I know." Wei Mosheng placed the woman's hand on his forehead, lowered his head to hide his expression, and said, "I know everything."
"And Mom, I've never felt like you owe me anything." His voice choked with emotion. "To me, you're the best mom, the most important person in my life, and the person I'll always love the most..."
Jiang Yuan's eyes welled up with tears as she listened to his words. She secretly turned her face away and wiped her tears.
She made many wrong choices and suffered a lot of pain throughout her life. Lying in bed at night, her heart was always filled with endless regret.
But the one thing she doesn't regret is giving birth to Wei Mosheng despite the strange looks from everyone and the pressure of severing ties with her family.
Wei Mosheng is an angel who came to redeem her.
Without this child, she might not have been able to survive until now.
"Sheng Sheng..." Jiang Yuan asked Wei Mosheng to lean down and then gently kissed the boy's forehead.
The woman's expression was gentle; though thin, her eyes held a clear, bright light.
"Mom loves you too, and will always be proud of you." She stroked the boy's face: "So, Mom hopes you can cheer up and not be depressed, otherwise Mom will be sad."
"Sheng Sheng is such a filial son, he must not want to make his mother sad, right?"
Wei Mosheng gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, covered his eyes with one arm to wipe away the tears that had spilled out, and then smiled at Jiang Yuan: "Yes, yes, I won't make you sad."
Jiang Yuan's external injuries healed quickly. However, the torment she suffered from stomach cancer was increasing day by day.
The side effects of chemotherapy are becoming increasingly apparent.
Her once beautiful face had become so thin that her cheekbones protruded, and her once black hair had thinned to just a sparse clump.
Later, Jiang Yuan simply had the hairdresser shave her head and put on the hat that Wei Mosheng had bought for her.
Jiang Yuan wouldn't let Wei Mosheng accompany her every day and urged him to go to class.
Wei Mosheng verbally agreed, but only when he didn't have classes.
Even if he could only squeeze out a little time, he would still come to the hospital to see Jiang Yuan.
Yu Tang used all his savings to treat Jiang Yuan's illness.
Then, in front of Wei Mosheng, he wrote down the debt in that small ledger, saying that Wei Mosheng should remember to pay it back when he made money.
Wei Mosheng knew that Yu Tang was protecting his self-esteem.
He also vowed that one day he would make something of himself and repay Yu Tang.
Jiang Yuan left in December.
She spent Wei Mosheng's twentieth birthday with him. She looked radiant that day and talked a lot with Wei Mosheng and Yu Tang.
She even managed to eat a small bite of her birthday cake.
However, this was ultimately just a brief resurgence.
Three days later, she could no longer hold on. Wearing a ventilator, her thin hands held Wei Mosheng's hand, her eyes filled with tears of reluctance.
"Live...live..." After months of battling death, Jiang Yuan seemed to have aged twenty years. Wei Mosheng lay beside her, close to her, listening to her speak: "Don't...be sad..."
"Mom... just... just went to heaven... Mom will be watching over you from heaven... protecting you..."
"You protected Mom your whole life..."
“This time, Mom will protect you…” she said with difficulty, her transparent breathing mask fogged up.
The woman coaxed Wei Mosheng like a child: "Okay, okay?"
Wei Mosheng gripped the white bed sheet tightly with one hand, clenched his teeth, and choked out a few laughs, but his tears had already soaked Jiang Yuan's pillow.
He nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay..."
"Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine, I won't let you worry."
Yu Tang stood to one side, his eyes filled with regret and pain.
He couldn't bear to look and turned away.
"My dear..." Jiang Yuan's pupils began to dilate, and her vision gradually went black: "You are Mommy's dear, my dear..."
"Good boy... good boy..."
The electrocardiogram eventually turns into a straight line.
