The date was to be held at an amusement park.
Because Yu Tang knew that Shen Yu had a miserable childhood. Not only did he never receive love from his parents and relatives, but he also never experienced the foods that other children liked to eat, the toys they liked to play with, or the places they liked to go.
So for this date, he wanted to take Shen Yu to an amusement park, to eat, drink, and have fun, to make up for the childhood he had lost.
With the system enabled for pain relief, Yu Tang felt weak but couldn't feel any pain, and her complexion looked okay.
The driver took the two to the park, while Shen Yu's men disguised themselves as ordinary tourists and moved through the crowd to protect them.
After checking his ticket and entering the park, Shen Yu pursed his lips, glanced at the couples holding hands around him, moved his hand to the side, grabbed Yu Tang's hand and held it tightly, his ears turning slightly red.
This was the first time he had ever held Yu Tang's hand in front of so many people.
I wonder if Yu Tang will mind.
In the dead of winter, I was so nervous that my palms were sweating.
Shen Yu's heart was beating a little fast.
Then, he felt Yu Tang grip his hand tightly, holding it firmly without letting go.
I can't describe how I feel right now.
Shen Yu's eyes stung slightly, but his heart was filled with warmth.
"What do you want to play?" Yu Tang moved closer to Shen Yu, leaning against him, but her gaze swept over the surrounding amusement facilities. When she saw the carousel, she laughed out loud, pointing at the brightly colored horse and teasing Shen Yu, "A little princess should ride a carousel! Princess Yu Yu, do you want to ride a carousel?"
Although he had gotten used to Yu Tang calling him "little princess" whenever he wanted.
But since they were outside, and passersby might overhear them, Shen Yu couldn't help but feel nervous.
He covered Yu Tang's mouth: "Alright, don't use that name in public!"
Yu Tang blew on his palm: "Okay, okay, I know, just kidding."
Shen Yu's fingers trembled, and he quickly let go of him, his face turning even redder.
He coughed twice and changed the subject, asking Yu Tang, "Are you afraid of heights?"
"Not afraid of heights..." Yu Tang asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yu took Yu Tang's hand, which had become a little cold, and put it into his coat pocket, saying softly, "I want to ride a Ferris wheel with you."
“Okay…” Although Yu Tang didn’t know why Shen Yu wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, she still agreed.
After all, in this world, Shen Yu is the most important person.
There weren't many people queuing to ride the Ferris wheel during the day; most were couples, and some were parents with their children.
A little girl wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and with her hair in two buns was carrying a huge rabbit-shaped cotton candy on her young father's shoulders. She was eating the cotton candy and laughing happily.
Shen Yu's gaze fell on the girl's smiling face, then shifted to the cotton candy, paused for a moment, and then turned his face away.
Seeing his expression, Yu Tang subconsciously patted her pocket, but didn't find any candy, and frowned.
When it was time for two people to enter the Ferris wheel, Shen Yu went in first, then reached out his hand to Yu Tang and carefully pulled his arm to help him step in. His cautious actions drew curious glances from those around them.
He didn't care, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the cabin door closed. He let Yu Tang sit next to him and waited for the Ferris wheel to go up.
The atmosphere inside the cabin was quiet. After a while, Shen Yu spoke.
“I looked it up online.” He held Yu Tang’s hand and said softly, “There’s a legend about the Ferris wheel.”
At this point, Shen Yu suddenly found himself somewhat amused.
Having lived for twenty-one years, when had he ever believed in any ghosts, gods, or legends?
But ever since Yu Tang's accident, he couldn't help but pray to the gods in heaven, hoping for a miracle.
I want Yu Tang to get better, and then I want to stay with him and live a peaceful and happy life together.
Yu Tang asked curiously, "What legend?"
Shen Yu snapped out of his reverie and replied, "It's said that a couple got on a Ferris wheel, and when it reached the very top..."
As they were talking, the Ferris wheel had reached its highest point and came to a steady stop.
"So what if you reach the top?" Yu Tang tugged at his sleeve. "Tell me..."
Suddenly kissed, Yu Tang's eyes widened slightly.
Shen Yu placed his hand on the side of his neck, tilted his head, and kissed his lips.
Careful yet tender and affectionate.
This left Yu Tang stunned.
He was still somewhat at a loss until Shen Yu let go of him.
Shen Yu hugged him, his breathing a little unsteady: "Couples who kiss at the peak will be blessed and stay together forever, and nothing and no one can separate them."
Yu Tang finally came to her senses, and unconsciously tightened her grip on Shen Yu's clothes.
He suddenly couldn't bear to part with Shen Yu like this.
That's too cruel.
This mission... is truly too cruel.
After getting off the Ferris wheel, Yu Tang made an excuse to go to the restroom, asking Shen Yu to wait for him on a bench in the amusement park.
Actually, they went to a cotton candy stall and bought the same kind of cotton candy as the little girl they had met before.
The head and face are made of white marshmallows, with two pink ears inserted on top, in a simple rabbit shape.
Yu Tang tucked the cotton candy behind his back, his gaze falling on the handsome young man in a moon-white robe sitting on a bench not far away, and he couldn't help but smile.
I wonder what kind of expression this kid will make when he sees cotton candy later?
I bet they'll be saying this is food for kids while secretly chuckling to themselves, right?
Thinking this, Yu Tang quickened his pace slightly, but before he reached Shen Yu, the system suddenly exclaimed in his mind: [Host! Watch out behind you!]
Before Yu Tang could react, he felt a hard, tubular object press against his back with a loud thud.
Because it was fitted with a silencer, the gunshot wasn't loud, but the force of the bullet's impact still made Yu Tang stumble half a step. Looking at the fabric on his chest, it was already soaked through with blood.
It crashed heavily to the ground, the cotton candy falling to one side and being trampled to pieces by screaming tourists.
Yu Tang lay in a pool of blood, looking at Shen Yu on the bench, his pupils gradually dilating.
In the moments before he lost consciousness, he saw the young man with severe mysophobia limping through the crowd and running towards him. He finally collapsed to the ground and crawled over on his hands and feet, looking extremely disheveled.
Yu Tang closed his eyes, unable to bear watching, and with all his might, uttered the last words he wanted to say to Shen Yu.
"sorry……"
Chapter 34
Died a second time for the villain (34)
"Yu Tang? Yu Tang?" The surrounding sounds and crowds seemed to have disappeared.
Shen Yu threw himself down beside Yu Tang, pressing his body close to the ground, and cautiously called out to the man's face, "Yu Tang?"
His pale white robe was stained with blood and mud, but he pretended not to see it. He didn't dare touch Yu Tang, and instead called out Yu Tang's name: "How did you fall? Didn't I tell you yesterday that you should tell me if you weren't feeling well..."
"Master Shen!" A group of his men surrounded Shen Yu, protecting him in the middle. They were all stunned when they saw the young man's appearance.
One of the men mustered his courage and said to Shen Yu, "Master Shen, it's not safe here. The assassins are mixed in with the tourists. We'd better leave quickly!"
But Shen Yu seemed not to hear him. He lay down on the ground with Yu Tang and mustered up his courage to touch Yu Tang's face.
He didn't cry, he even smiled, and then carefully helped Yu Tang up: "Forget it, you always like to be strong, now that you've fallen you feel ashamed and you're just lying there not getting up..."
He didn't even know what he was saying, he just kept laughing and teasing Yu Tang: "Isn't this cheating?"
"Alright, I won't nag you anymore, open your eyes."
"Open your eyes, we still have a date to go on."
"After we finish visiting the amusement park, we're going to have dinner at a romantic restaurant. I didn't tell you I made a reservation because I wanted to surprise you..."
He took a small box out of his pocket and handed it to Yu Tang: "Look, I also prepared a Christmas present for you, it's a ring."
She took out a plain ring and gently slipped it onto the man's finger: "I thought I'd use this ring to bind you to me, so you can't run away, and no one can take you away from me..."
"Master Shen!" his subordinate shouted, "He's dead! The assassins were after Yu Tang! They might still be lying in ambush somewhere. If you stay any longer, you'll be in danger!"
His roar was like a sharp knife, cutting through the air in front of Shen Yu and stabbing him, violently pulling Shen Yu out of his fantasy.
The young man seemed to have just come to his senses.
He looked up at the people around him and heard the screams of tourists and the alarms sounding in the amusement park.
The noise and commotion made his eardrums ache and his head buzz.
His pupils regained focus, and he looked down at the person in his arms.
I saw a blinding red everywhere.
The bullet pierced his chest, blasting a hole. If it weren't for the down jacket, you could almost see his shattered heart inside.
Suddenly awakened, followed by utter ruin.
"Hahaha……"
Shen Yu's breathing became rapid; his mouth was half-open, but he could only let out short gasps.
He reached out to cover Yu Tang's chest wound, his hands stained with blood.
Tears fell, but her eyes wouldn't close; they remained wide open, reflecting only the lifeless image of Yu Tang with his eyes closed.
"ah……"
After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a monotonous syllable from his throat.
Then, Shen Yu seemed to be in extreme pain, crying out "Ah, ah!" as he pulled Yu Tang into his arms. Tears streamed down his face, landing on his pale face and then sliding into his collar, disappearing from sight.
The winter air was cold, and the white breath I exhaled blurred my vision.
Shen Yu held Yu Tang in his arms, completely ignoring the stares of those around him, and cried hysterically like a child who hadn't yet learned to control his emotions.
Aside from shouting and sobbing, he could make no other sounds.
Shen Yu was eventually knocked unconscious by his men and taken back.
