"I'll save you just like you saved me back then..."
"But I can't bear to part with you." He cried, his whole body trembling. "I want to be with you... I... I really..."
"I've always wanted to be with you."
Chapter 16
Died for the villain for the tenth time (16)
Yu Tang blinked, not quite understanding Wei Yuan's words.
But he could also hear the pain and grievance in the crying, so he sat up, hugged the boy back, gently stroked Wei Yuan's back, and coaxed him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I didn't go anywhere, I'm right here beside you."
"We're going to live together for many, many years, a lifetime."
Yu Tang covered Wei Yuan's head with his large hand; "So, be good, don't be scared, don't cry, okay?"
After coaxing him for a while, Wei Yuan finally calmed down.
He released Yu Tang, revealing his tear-streaked face, his body still trembling slightly, his shoulders heaving.
“Little kitten…” Yu Tang laughed, poked the tear stains on Wei Yuan’s cheek, and said, “You really made Little Jin’s beard grow back from crying.”
Wei Yuan grabbed his hand and placed it against his cheek, looking at Yu Tang with his tear-reddened eyes.
In the tear-blurred scene, the man's gentle smile made him feel as if he were in a dream.
The pain in my heart has eased a little.
Wei Yuan called out to Yu Tang, "Master..."
"Um?"
Wei Yuan didn't say anything, but instead called out again, "Master..."
Yu Tang couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but she let him be and replied to Wei Yuan, "Yes, I'm here."
"Master..."
"I am here……"
"Master..."
As if obsessed, Wei Yuan's voice rose a little higher each time, with a slight tremor at the end. Each time he received a response, a smile would gradually appear on his tear-streaked face.
It's becoming more and more obvious, more and more radiant.
He shouted this many times until he was finally satisfied.
With a childlike, happy smile, she rubbed her cheek against Yu Tang's palm affectionately and said...
"It's so good to see you."
Since the ending is already predetermined, once this world is over, Yu Tang will forget him and become the carefree and unrestrained god he was before he met him.
So, as Yang Tiandao said, this life's tribulation of love is the last period he will spend with his master.
Therefore, Wei Yuan has already made his decision.
He will cherish this last opportunity.
Quietly make up for the regrets of the past.
Then, after everything is over, I will completely withdraw from Yu Tang's world.
"What you said today was really strange." Yu Tang pinched Wei Yuan's cheek: "You were crying and laughing at the same time, it was worrying."
"I'm sorry, Master," Wei Yuan replied. "I won't do that again."
He wiped away his tears, reluctantly let go of Yu Tang's hand, turned around, and whispered to the man with his back to him, "Master, may I carry you home?"
"Okay..." After drinking a bit of alcohol, Yu Tang felt lazy and didn't want to get rid of the smell of alcohol, so he inexplicably wanted to rely on the boy in front of him.
"I just don't want to walk anymore." He was probably awake, but he didn't seem quite sober either.
He climbed onto Wei Yuan's back, snuggled up to him, and said in a light tone, "I'll trouble you, my free disciple, for now."
A gentle warmth flowed through Wei Yuan's heart.
She hummed in agreement, then carefully adjusted her posture and stood up.
Along the way, he learned that Yutang was so different from what he had imagined.
They can be mischievous and naughty, but also wise and steady, valuing principles without being bound by conventions.
This man has never been a stubborn or obstinate person, nor has he been affected by the dark side of the world.
For Wei Yuan, Yutang was light, a light that could illuminate the endless abyss.
Only such a person deserves to be a god revered by all.
Instead of letting such a sinful monster sit in that position and waste his life.
Over the course of 100,000 years, Wei Yuan had thought countless times how wonderful it would have been if he had never been born.
Because without him, Yu Tang wouldn't have had to suffer so much. The man would have lived his life peacefully and eventually succeeded Yang Tiandao, becoming a truly supreme being.
His appearance was like a flaw painted on what should have been a brilliant and splendid life.
He caused his master to become an enemy of the divine realm, resulting in his soul being scattered and ruining Yu Tang's life...
“You probably don’t know this,” Yu Tang suddenly spoke, interrupting Wei Yuan’s thoughts.
The two emerged from the darkness of the alley and stepped into the brightly lit street.
Yu Tang narrowed his eyes slightly, loosely wrapped his arms around Wei Yuan's neck, and said, "You've actually carried me on your back many times."
Too many memories were intertwined in Yu Tang's mind. He lay on Wei Yuan's back, but all he could think about were the past from several worlds.
“I was drinking with my friends from the boxing ring, and I got drunk. You carried me home.”
“I escaped from the base, you caught me and brought me back, and you carried me on your back for the last leg of the journey.”
"Also, after we came out of the secluded valley, I begged you to carry me on your back..."
"In the heavy rain, you carried me on your back and crawled towards the road, telling me to hold on, that a car would come to pick us up soon..."
"I've cried and laughed on your back."
"But what I think about more is..."
"If only time could stop at that moment."
"Preserve the joy and excitement, and let the sorrow and parting stand still."
"But I know this won't work." Yu Tang leaned comfortably against Wei Yuan's back, and what she said next seemed to be addressed to Wei Yuan, but also to herself.
"I know that the real you is waiting for me in the future."
"The complete you, the you who waited for me for ten thousand years, the boy I would sacrifice myself to protect, I want to see you."
"Then……"
At this point, Yu Tang couldn't help but chuckle.
My previous frustration vanished: "Then I'll beat you up!"
"Grabbing your collar, I'll ask you, you brat, why did you stupidly split your soul in two?"
I went through so much trouble to save you, and you think I'd let you hurt yourself like this?!
"Also, every world is set up to be so cruel. I think you have some serious illness. We should manually correct it and beat you until you cry for your parents!"
Wei Yuan paused for a moment before continuing forward.
But then Yu Tang said, "Finally..."
"Here's a hug for you."
"I'm telling you this seriously."
"Wei Yuan, the best thing I've ever done in my life is meeting you."
"I've fallen in love with you..."
Chapter 17
Died for the villain for the tenth time (17)
Thud—
In the distance, children are setting off fireworks, which are blooming in the night sky.
One after another, cluster after cluster.
Wei Yuan remained frozen in place, his back slightly hunched, still carrying Yu Tang on his back.
Stray hairs fell down, obscuring her bloodshot eyes.
Water droplets formed a line, falling under the orange-red light, splashing small water droplets on the bluestone path.
The immense shackles formed by 100,000 years of self-denial and self-hatred quietly cracked open at this moment.
Wei Yuan paused for a long time before tightening his grip on Yu Tang's hand and continuing forward.
He replied softly, "Master..."
Meeting you is my greatest fortune.
When Yu Tang woke up the next day, she blinked, staring at the bed curtains above her head. Then, she suddenly remembered what had happened the night before.
Hearing what San Shen said at the restaurant, he felt particularly depressed and drank a few more cups.
After they finished drinking, Wei Yuan took him outside. He vaguely remembered that he suddenly cupped Wei Yuan's face in his hands and started complaining to others.
Later, for some reason, he fell asleep again, and when he woke up, he saw Wei Yuan crying.
Then he subconsciously started to soothe the child.
Hmm... Later, Wei Yuan carried him back, and he seemed to have mentioned things from the previous worlds!
Wei Yuan, the best thing I've ever done in my life is meeting you.
