Yu Tang was stunned for a moment.
My heart was beating faster than usual.
He enjoys it when the villain acts cute towards him, acts unreasonably towards him, and gets jealous of him.
But he was more moved by the villain's thoughtfulness and caution in this regard.
It's...very cute.
"Okay, then I'll wait for that day to come." Yu Tang patted Qin Junyang's head: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If we can't find a solution, it's fine as we are."
"Um……"
After analyzing the film "Sunrise", Qin Junyang asked Yu Tang to arrange a meeting with Li Wan.
Because Li Wan's mental state is not very healthy right now, they arranged to meet at the Li family manor.
The housekeeper received Yu Tang.
Qin Junyang sat on Yu Tang's shoulder, looking around at the surroundings as soon as he entered, and frowned slightly: "There is a Taoist priest's exorcism barrier here."
Yu Tang was taken aback, then asked worriedly, "Will it affect you? Why don't you hide inside my body first?"
"Hey, it's alright." Qin Junyang reassured him, "This kind of low-level Taoist priest can't do anything to me. At most, he'll just feel a little uncomfortable."
He analyzed, "I think that when Li Wan was severely depressed before, a ghost may have already formed inside her body."
The Li family is large and powerful, so they must know people who understand this kind of thing.
That's why a protective barrier was set up at Li Wan's residence to protect her.
As they were talking, the door to the room upstairs opened, and Li Wan, dressed in her finest attire, came down from upstairs.
Although she was not bad-looking, her thin figure and pale complexion made her look less than healthy.
When she saw Yu Tang, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked down, calling out to him, "Zhao Xu?"
But she quickly regained her senses, smiled apologetically, and called out to Yu Tang, "Mr. Yu, did you call me here to discuss something?"
The two sat on opposite sides of the sofa. Yu Tang and Qin Junyang exchanged a glance and Yu Tang said, "Miss Li, I want to cancel our wedding."
Upon hearing this, Li Wan's eyes widened slightly, and then her voice trembled noticeably: "Mr. Yu, how could you... how could you break the contract?"
"You clearly promised me that you would hold a wedding for Zhao Xu and me. You can't go back on your word!"
"And then?" Yu Tang looked intently into Li Wan's eyes and asked her again, "And then, Miss Li, what will you do after you get that wedding?"
Li Wan's sudden silence further solidified Qin Junyang and Yu Tang's previous suspicions.
"So, you're planning to take the memories of that wedding with you and go find your own death?"
Li Wan's eyes widened suddenly as she stared at Yu Tang in disbelief, as if she had never expected that the other party would guess her inner thoughts.
"Looks like I guessed right," Yu Tang sighed softly.
Just now, when Li Wan came down, Qin Junyang told him that he saw a very strong aura of death on Li Wan.
Although the barrier had some effect, it was ultimately only a temporary solution.
Li Wan did not give up on death like Chen Yuhan.
Instead, he planned to run towards death with Zhao Xu.
His gaze softened as he looked at Li Wan again, his voice reassuring as he asked, "Miss Li..."
"Would you like to meet the real Zhao Xu?"

Died for the villain for the ninth time (22)
"Mr. Yu, what...do you mean by that?"
In response to Li Wan's question, Yu Tang countered, "Before answering that question, may I ask Miss Li, why do you like Zhao Xu?"
“I…” Li Wan pursed her lips, lowered her head, and tugged at her sleeve slightly: “I like his smile, I want to be with him…”
"So you liked him because of his smile, but you liked the one who clearly had a terminal illness."
Zhao Xu, who still clung to everything in this world and strived to live, then why did he seek death after our wedding?
Why can't we be inspired by him and, like Chen Yuhan in the film, strive to live for the delicious food and beautiful scenery of the world, for the people we love and who love us?
After saying this, Yu Tang realized that her words seemed a bit too subjective, so she softened her voice and said, "Is there a special reason? Can you tell me about it?"
Li Wan gripped her clothes tightly, then looked up at Yu Tang's face. Perhaps encouraged by the man's gaze, she said softly, "I'm not like Chen Yuhan."
“She only hurt herself, while I killed my mother.”
The girl gave a bitter smile and said, "When I was ten years old, my mother and I were kidnapped and taken to sea..."
Li Wan whispered to Yu Tang the facts that were not in the documents.
The Li family's enemies kidnapped the mother and daughter and took them to a ship, sailing into international waters. While on the ship, they not only abused and beat Li Wan and her daughter, but also committed a beastly act against her mother in front of Li Wan.
Day after day, Li Wan's mother endured pain many times greater than Li Wan's to protect her, but in the end, she still couldn't protect her.
After the two were rescued from the cramped cabin and returned to the Li family, they both developed serious mental illnesses.
Li Wan's mother had been suppressing her emotions. She appeared to have returned to normal on the outside, but in reality, she was on the verge of a breakdown every day.
Finally, he went mad and tried to drag her to her death.
After the Li family finally managed to rescue Li Wan, they saw that Li Wan's mother had already cut her artery and stopped breathing shortly afterward.
Li Wan already suffered from a serious mental illness, and this further traumatized her, causing her to become completely despondent and despondent.
Therefore, Li Wan's situation is similar to Chen Yuhan's, yet different.
She saw Zhao Xu as her salvation, but even though she found salvation, she felt unworthy of happiness and unworthy of living.
She felt she had let her deceased mother down.
Moreover, in the Li family, Li Wan's father was usually busy with business and had no time to take care of Li Wan's feelings.
Even a few years later, Li Wan's father had an affair.
Li Wan had also seen the woman's child by chance. The child was seven or eight years old, very lively, and had a bright light in his eyes. He was completely different from the woman who had experienced defilement.
The reason she wanted to hold this wedding was that she wanted the world to remember her as Li Wan, and to remember her and her beloved Zhao Xu at their most beautiful and handsome.
Then, without regret, he would leave this world to atone for his sins to his mother.
Yu Tang listened quietly, feeling very sad.
He and Qin Junyang had imagined what Li Wan must have gone through during those two weeks. But they never expected the truth to be so tragic.
Suddenly, Qin Junyang tugged at Yu Tang's collar and said, "Tangtang, do you think this barrier might be for protecting against Li Wan's mother?"
"When I first came in, I thought this barrier was to prevent a ghost from being born from Li Wan."
But hearing her say that, I felt that given Li Wan's mother's intense resentment and obsession, it was highly likely she would remain lingering in the Li family mansion, unwilling to be reincarnated.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tang suddenly felt that the explanation was quite reasonable.
“Mr. Yu, I didn’t mean to say these things. But I don’t know why, seeing you today, I couldn’t help but say them. I hope you… can keep it a secret for me.” Li Wan’s words interrupted the two people opposite her.
The girl's expression was indifferent, but then she mustered some courage and asked Yu Tang, "Now that my story is finished, can you tell me what you mean by taking me to see the real Zhao Xu?"
Yu Tang snapped out of his thoughts and asked Li Wan, "Miss Li, are you free to go out today?"
Li Wan pursed her lips and glanced at the butler in the distance.
Finally, he nodded.
Half an hour later, Yu Tang brought Li Wan to the hospital.
Since the two of them had at least appeared on television, they had disguised themselves and arrived at the inpatient department.
So no one recognized them.
The weather is nice today. There's a gentle breeze, and the golden sun hangs high in the azure sky. The sunlight feels wonderful on people.
Li Wan was still somewhat reserved and appeared quite timid around her.
If a car passes by and makes a loud noise, she will flinch.
"Mr. Yu, why did you bring me to the hospital?"
“Let’s come see Zhao Xu.” Saying that they were coming to see Zhao Xu, Yu Tang took Li Wan to sit on a bench in the corridor and pointed to a thin young man walking by, saying, “His name is Li Hai. He is a young painter. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer two years ago and has been trying to control it by undergoing chemotherapy and taking medication. Now he has no choice but to be hospitalized.”
Even so, he persisted in his dream of painting. He wanted to use his artwork to empower people and help more people overcome adversity.
Yu Tang then pointed to a child who was laughing and running through the corridor and said, "His name is Dongdong. He was diagnosed with leukemia when he was four years old. His parents took him to seek medical treatment everywhere and he underwent several extremely painful bone marrow aspirations. Because they could not find a matching bone marrow donor, he developed complications and had his spleen removed. He could not eat for more than a month, but he still bravely pulled through."
He pointed to a man in a wheelchair again: "His name is Sun Yu. He loves playing basketball and made it to the provincial team at a young age. However, he was diagnosed with ALS at the age of fifteen, and his symptoms have been worsening every year."
Now confined to a wheelchair, he has not given up on his life.
Instead, he chose to become a basketball coach, using his knowledge and skills to help more children find joy in basketball…
"And her, him, them..."
Yu Tang told Li Wan about the lives of those patients, presenting one real-life example after another to the girl.
Finally, looking at Li Wan, who was staring blankly at everything before her, he said, "Their names are not Zhao Xu, yet they are all Zhao Xu."
The man sighed softly and looked intently at the girl.
"Did you see that, Miss Li?"
"This is the real Zhao Xu who exists in reality."

Died for the villain for the ninth time (23)
Li Wan watched the patients pass by her, Yu Tang's words echoing in her mind.
Everyone here is trying their best to fight the disease; they want to live.
Even if I'm covered in wounds, I still want to enjoy every single moment of this world.
Even knowing that time is running out, we must bring light and hope to others.
