"Our hairstyles are matching, they can't be envious of that."
At this point, Shen Yu paused, then looked at Yu Tang with a troubled expression: "It's because you said before that one of your criteria for choosing a partner was that he shouldn't be ugly, and now I've become like this..."
“You’re not ugly…” Yu Tang interrupted him, her heart completely filled with emotion.
He reached out and touched Shen Yu's face, replying, "You're beautiful no matter what."
Chapter 32
Died a second time for the villain (32)
The feeling of being on a daily countdown to death is not pleasant.
Moreover, seeing Shen Yu clearly terrified but still forcing a smile, he felt even more guilty.
After struggling to hold on until Christmas Eve, December 24th, the system told Yu Tang that this was the last time he had left. They would be leaving on December 25th, and he was asked to think about how to say goodbye to Shen Yu.
At that moment, Yu Tang was nestled in a recliner by the French windows, basking in the sun, holding his now much-grown little princess.
Shen Yu was cooking in the kitchen, and the aroma of stir-fried dishes could be faintly smelled.
Upon hearing the system's words, Yu Tang remained silent for a moment before replying: Okay, I understand.
[Host, I'm curious, what are your feelings for Shen Yu right now?]
The system finally couldn't help but ask.
During this time, he watched Yu Tang and Shen Yu get along so well that he almost went crazy from watching their sweet interactions.
Even though Shen Yu was initially hopeless and had tormented Yu Tang.
But the changes he underwent during this period were so profound that even an observer like myself couldn't help but be moved.
Yu Tang hesitated for a moment, then replied: I...don't know...
"You don't know?" The system widened its eyes, then cautiously asked: [Then do you think you could accept the possibility of growing old with him if you weren't sick?]
Yu Tang: I can accept it.
Yu Tang: To be honest, I think my feelings for Shen Yu are very strange.
Yu Tang: I feel that he gives me a different feeling than others.
Yu Tang: Well... how should I put it, I don't dislike being with him.
And now I've gotten used to his occasional physical advances towards me.
Yu Tang: But if you were to say that if someone else did this to me, I probably wouldn't accept it.
The system exclaimed in surprise: "This! Isn't this what liking someone means?!"
Yu Tang: Is this what it means to like someone?
Yu Tang: I really don't have any idea about this.
At this point, Yu Tang paused and continued: "Besides, even if I fall in love with him, won't I still have to leave in the end?"
Yu Tang: After all, he's just a villain in a novel, not enough to make me give up my reality.
"Stop talking, host, or I'm going to start crying!"
The system wailed: "What exactly is the Supreme God up to?! I don't understand at all!"
Yu Tang: I guess he just wanted to make things difficult for you, a newbie.
Yu Tang: This kind of task is like a bamboo shoot mother opening the door for her baby bamboo shoot, bringing the bamboo shoot home.
"right!"
The system also voiced its indignation: "[It was the bamboo shoot's mother who went to the bamboo shoot's grave, and the bamboo shoot died!]"
After chatting with the system for a while, Yu Tang's mood improved slightly.
Shen Yu had already prepared the meal and was calling him from the dining table.
The little princess in his arms opened her eyes, jumped off his lap, and stretched on the ground.
Yu Tang thought it was cute and wanted to pet it, but as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground unexpectedly.
With a loud bang, Shen Yu's face turned pale with fright.
My ears were ringing. I fell face down, hitting my nose, and a slightly warm liquid was coming out.
Yu Tang touched it and saw it; it was blood.
"Yu Tang!" Shen Yu usually walks very slowly to hide his limp, but now that he saw Yu Tang fall, he didn't care about anything and rushed over. He accidentally bumped into a chair and made a groan.
"Are you... how are you?" Shen Yu helped him up, took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, and said apologetically, "It's all my fault, I should have come to help you..."
During this time, Yu Tang's health deteriorated, and he wanted the man to be hospitalized, but Yu Tang refused.
He said it was more comfortable to stay at home than to be with so many patients.
Shen Yu had no choice but to agree to his request.
"I'm fine, cough cough cough..." Before he could finish speaking, Yu Tang grabbed Shen Yu's handkerchief and coughed violently, soon staining the handkerchief red.
That's a real slap in the face!
Yu Tang had no idea how he could have so much blood to vomit, and it always delivered a fatal blow at the crucial moment!
Sure enough, after he coughed for a while and looked up again, Shen Yu's eyes were as red as a rabbit's.
Stopping patting his back, Shen Yu helped him to the sofa, his hand trembling slightly as he took the handkerchief.
His voice was hoarse, clearly trying to suppress his emotions: "I'll go get some water and wash your hands."
After saying that, Shen Yu got up and went to the bathroom. He turned the tap on full blast, and the sound of the running water filled the entire bathroom, barely covering his sobs.
When Shen Yu brought the basin of water to the living room, squatted down in front of Yu Tang, and used a wet towel to wipe Yu Tang's hands and face.
Apart from her eyes being a little red, her expression had returned to normal.
He became a bit nagging: "Next time you feel unwell, you must tell me."
"We must prevent what happened today from happening again. Otherwise, you'll scare me to death."
"Okay, I understand." Yu Tang looked down and could see Shen Yu's long, curly eyelashes, like two small fans, trembling gently.
The young man's gentle touch in wiping his hands caused Yu Tang to momentarily lose consciousness.
Master, even if your cultivation is high, you shouldn't always take risks.
If this keeps up, you'll scare me to death...
Two sentences suddenly flashed through Yu Tang's mind. He shook his head, trying to find their source, but found no other memory of them.
Could this be a line he saw in a TV series?
With this in mind, Yu Tangsong felt relieved.
That should be it.
He's read so many scripts that it's normal for him to remember a line or two.
Because of this wretched lung cancer, Yu Tang can't eat or sleep well. Even the easily digestible and nutritious meals that Shen Yu makes for him can only be eaten a few bites before he can't eat anymore.
Shen Yu didn't force him, but looking at Yu Tang's increasingly thin face, he felt extremely distressed.
After washing up that night, the two turned off the lights and went to sleep. Yu Tang was afraid of choking on blood when she coughed, so she lay down on her side next to Shen Yu.
Remembering what he had said to the system at noon, Yu Tang couldn't sleep.
Tomorrow will be his last day in this world, and he must say goodbye to Shen Yu properly.
Looking back on the time he spent recuperating, he hadn't gone out with Shen Yu much.
They usually go to the hospital in Songcheng fully equipped, finish chemotherapy, and rush back, then stay in the villa.
While such a life is comfortable, it can become stifling over time.
After much deliberation, Yu Tang reached out and poked the young man beside him who was also awake, calling his name: "Shen Yu..."
"Hmm?" Shen Yu immediately tensed up: "Are you feeling unwell?"
“No…” Yu Tang said helplessly.
"I just wanted to say that tomorrow is Christmas."
At this point, Yu Tang paused, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.
He looked at Shen Yu and asked, "Should we go on a date?"
Chapter 33
Died a second time for the villain (33)
Even in the dimly lit bedroom, Yu Tang could see clearly.
Shen Yu's eyes lit up instantly, filled with many emotions that Shen Yu couldn't understand.
The young man reached out to hug him, but then stopped when he thought of his illness. He simply held the young man's hand and kissed it lightly.
"Okay, okay, let's go on a date and spend Christmas together!"
Infected by his emotions, Yu Tang, almost without thinking, reached out and stroked Shen Yu's face: "Are you that happy?"
“Yes…” Shen Yu rubbed his palm against Yu Tang’s, savoring the warmth Yu Tang gave him: “This is the first time you’ve invited me.”
"I'm so happy I don't know what to say. I just want to circle this day on the calendar and celebrate it every year from now on."
Yu Tang was amused by his idea, gently pinched Shen Yu's cheek, leaned in, and placed a kiss on his forehead.
"Okay, go to sleep now, we're going out to play tomorrow."
He instructed Shen Yu, "If I can't get up, you must wake me up. We can't waste our precious date time, understand?"
He was afraid that if Shen Yu didn't wake him, he would fall asleep forever.
"Mmm..." Shen Yu was so happy to receive Yu Tang's goodnight kiss that he almost lost his bearings.
He nodded hastily, and tentatively leaned in to kiss Yu Tang's forehead, then moved down to touch the man's lips before smiling like a cat that had stolen cream, and closing his eyes to sleep.
Yu Tang sighed, slightly tightened her grip on Shen Yu's hand, and finally said goodnight to him.
