"Then, gradually, I began to regret it..."
"I regret dying so hastily."
“I knew perfectly well that even if I didn’t kill those who hurt us, they would still be punished by law. I knew perfectly well that my death would not solve any problems, yet I still abandoned my most precious treasure and gave up my life.”
"If I could be stronger... and try harder to survive, to be with you through the toughest times..."
Wouldn't that have spared you some of the pain, and prevented you from spending your days in tears, burdened by guilt towards me, and enduring such a painful decade or so...?
Qin Junyang had already told the female ghost everything that Li Wan had said to Yu Tang.
So at this moment, the other person's heart was almost filled with guilt. He just held the girl in his arms tightly and choked out, "Mom has never blamed you. Mom has regretted it for a long time. I want to live..."
"I want to stand in the sunlight and do so many things with my Wanwan..."
I want to see you finish your studies and make lots and lots of friends.
Watching you experience a vibrant, youthful romance, watching you find a man who loves you, and walking down the aisle...
"But it was because of my impulsiveness, my weakness, that..."
The rest of the words were cut off by Li Wan's hand.
The girl hugged the ghost's neck and called out, "Mom..."
The female ghost paused for a moment, then replied, "Sigh..."
Li Wan called out again, "Mom..."
"Why……"
"mom……"
"I am here……"
"It's good that you're here." Li Wan's tears soaked the woman's shoulder, but the corners of her mouth turned up, and she said with a mix of crying and laughing, "Mom, it's good that you're here at this moment."
"It's good that you still remember me and are willing to come see me."
"Just like you said, I am your most precious daughter, and you are my most beloved mother."
"The time we've missed can't be made up for, but do you know what?"
"Your presence here today is the greatest and best gift I have ever received in my life..."
The female ghost was completely stunned.
After a long while, her lips trembled, and her vision blurred.
She hugged Li Wan back: "Wanwan, thank you..."
"Wanwan, thank you, Mommy..."
"Thank you, my best, best daughter..."
Yu Tang watched from a distance, and his eyes also started to sting.
She couldn't help but sniff, which Qin Junyang noticed.
The ghost, now grown larger, reached out and touched his face, asking, "Tangtang, you weren't moved to tears by this scene, were you?"
Yu Tang slapped his hand away and coughed, "Stop it, I'm not crying."
Qin Junyang didn't believe it, so he went closer.
That handsome face, flawless from every angle, was almost pressed against Yu Tang's. He grinned and said, "Your eyes are brimming with tears, and you still say you haven't cried?"
After saying that, before Yu Tang could refute her, she pulled the man in front of her into her arms, buried her head in his shoulder, and rubbed against him.
"Don't cry, Tangtang, be good, brother will hold you."
"Holy crap, what's with the brother?" Xiao Jin was quite touched by Li Wan's story, but when she suddenly heard Qin Junyang calling Yu Tang "brother," she burst out laughing.
"What older brother?" Yu Tang shoved Qin Junyang, then laughed in exasperation, "How do you think he's older than me?"
Qin Junyang argued vehemently, "I've been sealed away for a thousand years, which means I'm your ancestor! So what if I'm older than you?"
"It's not like I'm making you feel bad by calling me 'brother,' is it?"
Qin Junyang got even more excited: "Quickly, call me brother, I want to hear it!"
She even started to whine and shake Yu Tang's arm: "Please? Tang Tang? My darling Tang Tang... please..."
Meeting those enthusiastic peach blossom eyes, Yu Tang was at a loss for what to do and her thoughts began to change.
He pulled the curtain beside him to cover the two of them, then grabbed Qin Junyang's collar with his other hand, pulled him down, and kissed his cool, soft lips.
Gradually, she moved her hand down her cheek to Qin Junyang's ear and sighed softly.
"My dear brother, are you satisfied now?"
Chapter 25
Died for the villain for the ninth time (25)
"Wow! That's so exciting!" Xiao Jin covered her mouth, her face full of shock: [Host, you're being way too seductive!]
Qin Junyang was also stunned.
The ghost was pinned against the side wall of the stage by Yu Tang, its gaze fixed solely on the man before it.
Yuan'er, are you stupid? Why aren't you saying anything?
A sentence suddenly flashed through my mind.
Qin Junyang's eyes widened. Yu Tang in his line of sight seemed to have suddenly changed his clothes, now wearing Taoist robes, with a warm smile, and he repeated the name of Yu Tang.
Yuan'er?
"Meimei? What's wrong?" Yu Tang noticed that something was wrong with him and waved her hand in front of him. "Didn't you tell me to call you 'brother'? Why are you acting like this now?"
Qin Junyang snapped out of his daze, and the image in his mind vanished. He cupped Yu Tang's face in his hands.
He examined her closely, brought his nose close to smell her, and then kissed Yu Tang's forehead, eyes, nose, and cheeks...
"Hey? What's wrong with you?" Yu Tang felt ticklish from his kisses and pushed Qin Junyang away by pressing his forehead: "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
Qin Junyang bowed slightly, cheek to cheek with him, and said, "Tangtang, I think I've remembered some things from the past..."
"Just now I... saw another you, dressed in Taoist robes, somewhat resembling Chi Yu from the movie 'Ghosts and Gods'."
But not entirely the same. You need to be more composed and gentler. You call me "Yuan'er."
“I’m sure you were calling me then.” A cool kiss landed on Yu Tang’s lips. Qin Junyang cupped his face, as if he couldn’t get enough of kissing him, laughing as he kissed him: “I need to remember things about you as soon as possible, and become human as soon as possible.”
"If our ending in the previous life was as tragic as in the ghost stories, then we will definitely find a way to change it in this life. I want to be with you happily."
Yu Tang's heart trembled slightly, but she allowed Qin Junyang's intimate actions to continue.
He was somewhat concerned about what the other person said.
He recalled the information he had previously looked up about "Ghosts and Gods".
The movie "Ghost" is adapted from a novel.
The author of this novel remains a mystery to this day.
The publishing house received an anonymous manuscript, which was the original text about ghosts and gods. The author said that it could be printed directly and the copyright could belong to the publishing house.
As for the profits, he didn't want a single penny; he donated them all to charity.
Therefore, Yu Tang's idea of starting with the author to investigate what happened a thousand years ago is simply wishful thinking.
But judging from the author's actions, there must be something fishy about this.
He just can't find it at this stage...
Li Wan's mother, Chu Mingyu, was an outstanding pianist who passed away at the young age of thirty-five.
Although she died in such a gruesome way, now that she has become a ghost, with the bloodstains and wounds removed, she can still reveal her former beauty and kindness.
The mother and daughter stayed in the theater until evening, and Li Wan was still unwilling to leave.
Chu Mingyu asked her, "Has your father treated you well all these years?"
“He… is alright…” Li Wan realized that she hadn’t seen Li Shiheng for a while.
But not wanting to worry her mother, she said, "He doesn't skimp on my money, nor does he force me to do things I don't like. He spoils me."
Chu Mingyu's eyes darkened slightly: "I saw him entering and leaving the villa with another woman, and I also saw that woman's child. They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"No, no." When asked about this, Li Wan answered truthfully: "I don't see that aunt and child often, and they have never come to see me on their own initiative. Occasionally, they come with my father and bring me some gifts."
So it's okay, they're not bad people, Mom, you don't need to worry.
Chu Mingyu hugged the girl tightly: "Wanwan, you've really had a tough time all these years."
Li Wan savored the warmth her mother gave her, and holding Chu Mingyu's hand, she asked, "Mom, where are you going next?"
She remembered what Chu Mingyu had told her: this time, Yu Tang had helped her reunite with her mother, but they could only meet once.
After all, humans and ghosts are different, and not all ghosts can be seen by humans like Qin Junyang.
Moreover, if a ghost stays near a person for a long time, it will harm that person's body and bring bad luck.
"I..." Chu Mingyu whispered to her daughter, "I will be reincarnated."
"Meeting you is the end of my obsession. Next, I will enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn."
"Then..." Li Wan pursed her lips, gently stroking the woman's hand, and asked cautiously, "Mom, can I be your daughter again in the next life?"
Chu Mingyu seemed surprised by Li Wan's response.
Her fingers remained stiff for a long time before she finally gripped her daughter's hand tightly and nodded, "Yes, of course."
"In the next life, I will still be your mother. I will watch my Wanwan grow up healthy."
Chu Mingyu finally arrived at the Li family's gate with Yu Tang's car.
After watching Li Wan go inside, who kept turning back to look at him, he turned to Qin Junyang, who was standing next to Yutang, and said, "My lord, my wish has been fulfilled. Please eat me."
Qin Junyang rolled his eyes: "How many times have I told you, I'm not helping you because I want to eat you!"
He put his arm around Yu Tang's shoulder and said, "My goal was to get your daughter to cancel the wedding with my lover. Now that we've achieved our goal, you can go wherever you want. Don't be a third wheel in front of us, understand?"
Yu Tang glanced at Qin Junyang's arm around his and acquiesced.
