Yu Tang was interrupted, and he stood there stunned, thinking he had misheard.
After all, the system always says that Shen Yu's favorability towards him has reached ninety percent, and this person is always touching him inappropriately. But he has never really confessed his feelings to him.
On the contrary, they always scolded him harshly.
How did things suddenly turn out like this...?
"Yu Tang, I love you." Shen Yu's voice trembled, his voice choked with emotion. "I can't live without you..."
"All those words I said before were lies... In my eyes, you're no longer some servant..."
"You don't understand me at all, so don't just spout nonsense here..."
"I can take things in stride, but that's for other people!" Shen Yu was on the verge of a breakdown. Even though he was holding the person in front of him, he still felt an emptiness in his arms.
“To you…” he said with difficulty, “I… can’t let go.”
Yutang was very impressed.
What follows is confusion and helplessness.
He didn't understand Shen Yu, nor could he comprehend Shen Yu's feelings.
Yet he could sense the other person's determination and the sadness that was already affecting him.
“We’ll go see Song Cheng tomorrow. I’ll ask him to find the best specialists to treat you. You’ll get better eventually.”
Shen Yu was in a state of emotional turmoil and his words were somewhat incoherent: "After you are cured, we will consider it as getting to know each other again."
I will no longer make things difficult for you, I will no longer treat you like a servant, and I will no longer say those insulting things to you…
Looking back, he realized how awful he had been to Yu Tang.
"I'm sorry, Yu Tang..." In the end, all the words that were about to come out turned into apologies. Shen Yu almost cried as he said, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Yu Tang felt distressed upon hearing this.
He didn't want Shen Yu's apology.
Because that would make him feel even more guilty.
After all, he approached Shen Yu with his own agenda.
Now that things have escalated to this point, facing Shen Yu's humble demeanor, his heart feels heavy and a dull ache.
Reaching out to hug the young man in front of him, Yu Tang sighed inwardly: I'm the one who should be apologizing.
After more than an hour of this, Yu Tang was exhausted.
I have a tightness and pain in my chest, and my throat also hurts.
Shen Yu gave him his medicine, helped him to bed, and put him to sleep.
He said he would rest well tonight and go to the hospital tomorrow.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Yu Tang looked at Shen Yu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with red eyes, and wondered why he didn't lie down.
Shen Yu shook his head: "You go to sleep. I'll watch you sleep, and I'll sleep after you fall asleep."
"Alright then..." Yu Tang nodded, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep due to exhaustion.
Shen Yu sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at Yu Tang's sleeping face for a while, then got up and went to the study to bring back the computer.
I placed it on the bedroom table, plugged in headphones, and played the surveillance footage from that period bit by bit.
He saw that after he left, Yu Tang went to the bedroom next door and took out medicine with handwritten labels from the drawer three times a day.
Then at night, he would turn off all the lights in the bedroom, go to the bathroom in the dark, and cover his mouth to minimize the sound of his cough.
In the darkness, the low, suppressed coughs came through the headphones and reached Shen Yu's ears.
It was like a serrated knife, slowly cutting into Shen Yu's heart.
He was in so much pain that his face turned pale.
He listened to it countless times, self-torturing himself. Shen Yu pursed his lips, reached out and covered his mouth tightly, but sobs still escaped through his fingers.
Why didn't he notice Yu Tang's unusual behavior sooner?
There were warnings issued long ago.
A persistent cough that wouldn't go away, and a body that was gradually losing weight.
Although his expression was always full of energy, there was always a sickly look between his brows, and he would suddenly fall down from time to time, unable to keep up with his pace.
besides……
That day, Yu Tang lay on the cold ground of Luochen Square for so long, and his cough wasn't faked, yet he took him home and cruelly abused him...
Shen Yu recounted the various things he had done.
He then realized that in the past six months, Yu Tang had been the one indulging him and coaxing him the whole time.
And he had never done anything for Yutang.
All he brings to men is harm...
After closing his laptop, Shen Yu hadn't slept all night.
He lay down next to Yu Tang, not daring to embrace the man, but carefully hooking his fingers around Yu Tang's, occasionally getting up to check on Yu Tang's condition.
When I saw him kicking off the blanket, I pulled the blanket up and tucked the corners in.
Seeing that he was frowning, I reached out and gently smoothed his brow.
He dared not fall asleep.
They didn't even dare to close their eyes easily.
He always felt that if he fell asleep and then opened his eyes again, Yu Tang would disappear.
Although this idea is ridiculous and sounds a bit neurotic.
But Shen Yu was afraid.
I'm terrified.
The next day, Shen Yu took Yu Tang to the hospital where Song Cheng worked to begin a full physical examination.
Yu Tang's gaze fell on Shen Yuqing's dark eyes, recalling what the system had told him: Shen Yuqing hadn't slept a wink all night.
It's hard not to feel sorry for them.
"Why don't you go and rest in the rest area for a while?" Yu Tang pushed him, "I can do the examination myself."
"Besides, I know what illness I have, and even if I get checked, it can't be cured. There's no need for you to waste your time here with me..."
"It's cured!" Shen Yu suddenly raised his voice, startling Yu Tang.
"I will definitely make them cure you!" He gripped Yu Tang's hand tightly without realizing it, causing Yu Tang to frown before realizing what he was doing and quickly loosening his grip.
Shen Yu's eyes were bloodshot and frighteningly red. He tried hard to control his emotions and said to Yu Tang in a hoarse voice, "Trust me, if I say I can cure it, I definitely can. You should have some confidence in yourself, okay?"
"Stop saying such discouraging things, okay?"
The voice was filled with a deep plea, humble and pitiful.
Looking at his pale face, Yu Tang couldn't bring herself to refuse.
He could only nod, trying to convince himself otherwise.
"Okay, I'll trust you this once."
Chapter 27
Died a second time for the villain (27)
The test results were all available by noon. Songcheng brought in the best cancer experts in the country, and they held an emergency meeting to discuss Yutang's condition.
Leaving Yu Tang in the lounge, Shen Yu went to the conference room to listen in.
His arrival made the atmosphere of the entire meeting several degrees more somber.
After all, Shen Yu had a notorious reputation, and no one wanted to offend this ruthless and inhuman king of hell.
To their surprise, Shen Yu simply sat silently in the corner the entire time.
He listened quietly to their discussion of Yu Tang's condition. Only when the meeting ended did he finally move.
They asked them, "Can you cure his illness?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen." The leading expert answered his question regretfully: "His condition has progressed to the late stage, and the cancer cells have spread to other organs. All we can do is try our best to prolong his life, but we cannot completely cure him."
"Useless..." Shen Yu gripped his cane tightly, his voice suppressing his anger: "They're all a bunch of fucking useless trash!"
He stood up, pointed to the door, and shouted, "Get out! All of you, get out!"
The man, who had been quiet just moments before, suddenly erupted in anger, startling the group of experts who, fearing to incur his wrath, hurriedly fled the scene.
Soon, Shen Yu was the only one left in the conference room.
Having not slept all night and overwhelmed by emotions, Shen Yu's vision went black for a moment, and he almost fell over.
He leaned against the wall and sat back down in his seat.
It remained motionless for a long time.
My thoughts are in a jumble.
All that remained was fear and unease.
He hadn't felt this way since the fire when he was eleven.
I have absolutely no idea what to do.
There wasn't even a direction to move forward.
After all, no matter how much money, status, or power he has, he cannot snatch a person from the clutches of illness.
Moreover, the thought that he might lose Yu Tang made it impossible for him to maintain a stable train of thought.
It was on the verge of collapse almost every moment.
After an unknown amount of time, the meeting room door was pushed open from the outside.
Yu Tang walked in and immediately saw Shen Yu sitting there like a statue, head down, lost in thought.
