Chapter 54 Chapter 54 You Really Won’t Leave Me
Tao Ning was a bit surprised. If you ignored Song Yucong's awkward tone, this was the first time he'd said anything resembling surrender. He thought about it, and although he didn't know what had happened to Song Yucong, he still reached out and hugged the person who had begged for a hug.
Tao Ning only reached his chest. The moment he hugged the man, his broad, cold hands embraced him. The sweet scent of lemon lingered at the tip of his nose. The man buried his head in his neck and shoulders, breathing deeply, afraid that the sweet and beautiful smell would disappear.
The violent and restless pain in my heart gradually subsided with this hug.
This country bumpkin can only be his. Song Yucong thought somewhat paranoidly, no one can take him away, not Song Heng, not Xu Jun... no one can.
Sensing the uneasiness of the person in her arms, Tao Ning gently placed her hand on his back and patted him. "That should be alright, right?" But it was clear that this pat had offended the person's pride. Song Yucong, seemingly forceful but actually gentle, pushed him away and snorted, "Are you patting a child?"
Tao Ning was not angry even though he inexplicably asked for a hug and then inexplicably pushed her away. She nodded in agreement with his self-awareness.
However, Tao Ning muttered in his heart that he was just a naughty kid with a bad temper.
Song Yucong's face darkened instantly, but compared to his pale expression a moment ago, he now looked a bit more animated. He snorted, "I've brought you the medicine. Don't even think of making excuses to leave, or I'll scrub every toilet in the villa."
"I ate it, thank you." Tao Ning automatically ignored the second half of the sentence. Thinking of the bloodstain on the bottle cap, hesitantly said: "When your injury is healed, let me go back to school."
Song Yucong looked at him gloomily, but Tao Ning remained unmoved. "It's not because of anyone else, it's for myself. You know I'm a student sponsored by your family. If I can't complete the tasks in the contract, I can't stay here any longer."
Song Yucong said coldly: "Be my slave for life, and I will ensure that you will live a worry-free life here."
lifetime?
Tao Ning was stunned. The word "lifetime" was unfamiliar to him, and he couldn't imagine it, let alone think about something so far away. Sometimes he had to admit that no matter what happened, whether Zhao Jingqun begged him not to break up, or Song Yucong said that they wanted a lifelong relationship, Tao Ning always thought rationally and never let his emotions get the better of him.
Tao Ning decisively refused: "No need...that's different."
He has his own pride. Even though Song Yucong's current attitude is what he needs and means that he is one step closer to the strategy progress, Tao Ning is capable of completing the task without anyone's interference.
However, Song Yucong's thoughts were very different from his. He approached Tao Ning, his phoenix eyes brewing a storm: "Don't you want to be my slave for the rest of your life?"
Tao Ning said: "I was never a slave."
Song Yucong pinched his shoulders, but the force was very light. "I mean for life! A slave who belongs to me alone!"
Tao Ning looked at him silently.
Song Yucong looked at his pair of eyes that were so beautiful that they made him dream. In the past, he always couldn't stand Tao Ning's humble and timid look, thinking that his silly eyes were full of cowardice. But now he looked carefully and found out -
There was nothing in those gem-like eyes; they were inorganic, calm, almost to the point of being cold-blooded and ruthless.
Tao Ning looked at the man who seemed to be possessed by a demon just now and suddenly let go of him. He covered his head with his hands, gasping for breath, and seemed to be in a state of chaos from which he could not extricate himself.
He approached cautiously: "What's wrong with you?"
“Get…out of here!”
The man covered his head with his hands, unconsciously grabbing his hair tightly, as if he wanted to pull his scalp off. When Tao Ning approached him, he seemed to be stimulated and kept backing away. Finally, he leaned against the door, squatted down with a trembling body, and said incoherently: "You don't want me... You don't want me... Go away... Go away..."
You don't want me.
Tao Ning's hand froze in mid-air. After thinking for a moment, he sighed. Not afraid of Song Yucong's resistance, he approached him slowly, his voice soft, "I don't want to leave you."
He bent down, eventually crouching down as well, meeting the trembling Song Yucong's gaze. However, the latter clutched his head, refusing to reveal his eyes. Tao Ning gently touched his trembling arm, her voice soft as she continued, "I...I didn't abandon you."
As soon as her slender fingers touched the cold skin, they were grabbed by someone, but Song Yucong still buried his head and refused to look at him. Tao Ning let him hold her hand, but maintaining this posture for a long time would make it a little numb, so he simply moved closer.
The next moment, he was embraced by a cold breath. Song Yucong knelt on his knees and held him tightly in his arms. His cold lips pressed against Tao Ning's warm neck. He couldn't help shivering, and he could feel that the person holding him was still trembling.
This time, Tao Ning reached out and hugged him back, gently patting his back until the person holding him stopped trembling, as if waking up from a nightmare.
After a long time, Tao Ning heard the man who had been constantly tyrannical ask him cautiously:
"...you really won't abandon me."
"Yeah, really."
*
After what happened at the door, Tao Ning felt that Song Yucong seemed even more uncomfortable. He threatened her fiercely, "Don't tell anyone what happened today."
Tao Ning nodded, but even though he agreed, Song Yucong was still dissatisfied with the answer. His handsome face was full of anger as he glared at him.
Sometimes Tao Ning really couldn't guess what he was thinking. When they were young, Tao Yuan would occasionally joke with him, regardless of whether Tao Ning could understand at that time, and tell him that women's hearts are as deep as the sea, and that he, a stupid boy, couldn't even guess what she was thinking, so he should forget about getting married in the future.
Tao Ning felt that what Tao Yuan said now might be wrong, because Song Yucong was a man, but his mind was just a drop of water in the ocean, and he didn't even have an idea to guess.
For example, now, he has clearly agreed, why is he still angry?
Tao Ning was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I want to tell others...I, Tao Ning, want you."
“…”
The system was also listening to their conversation and nearly choked to death on a melon seed. What kind of overbearing and ruthless words was this idiot saying? But what was even more unexpected was that the man it had considered the most difficult to conquer, the one who had nearly passed, actually looked much better, his cheeks even flushing.
He just snorted: "I'm asking you to say it reluctantly."
【......】
Haha, the evil world of human beings is indeed incomprehensible to such pure and advanced intelligence.
That day, Song Yucong almost never let Tao Ning leave the room. Instead, he moved things from his room one by one. He wanted to stop him, but he couldn't see anyone because Song Yucong seemed to be busy and would be out for five or six hours.
During this period, Nannan and Ayun both came to see him.
Nannan hugged his legs and was reluctant to leave, "Beautiful brother, I'm leaving now."
Tao Ning was startled. The little girl was wearing a beautiful princess dress. He thought she was the child of one of Song Yucong's relatives. Wasn't that right? Nannan's voice brought him back to his senses: "Beautiful brother, if you get married to Brother Xiaocao in the future, please invite me to be your flower girl."
“…”
Ah Yun was so frightened that his face turned pale, but seeing Tao Ning's expression normal, he didn't say anything. He had also gradually sensed that the relationship between Master Tao and the Second Young Master was becoming unusual. He had little education and didn't know how to describe the atmosphere between them. Perhaps it was the kind of inseparable atmosphere they saw on TV.
Thinking of this, Ayun felt a little sad. He had known his sexual orientation since he was a child, that is, homosexuality, which was taboo for everyone. He never dared to hope that a beautiful person like Mr. Tao would see him, but he would sincerely wish him happiness.
She would keep these two secrets, but Nannan was a child who spoke without restraint, so Ayun planned to wait until night time and make it clear to her before she left that there were some things that she could not say outside.
Tao Ning didn't know how to respond to the child's wish, so she could only shake her head vaguely, and then nodded.
Nannan didn't understand and thought Tao Ning had agreed to her. She was so excited that she danced with joy and said she wanted to wear her most beautiful dress that day.
A man with an honest face and wearing cleaning overalls came and took the girl away. The girl threw herself into his arms and shouted, "Dad!" The man nodded to them stiffly and thanked them, then picked up the girl and took her away.
"Goodbye, pretty brother! Goodbye, Ayun!"
"goodbye."
Ah Yun immediately noticed Tao Ning's confusion and explained to him, "Nannan is Uncle Liu's child. Her mother died when she was very young. Uncle Liu was too busy with work and was afraid that he couldn't take care of her, so he would occasionally take Nannan home. However, the Song family doesn't allow servants' children to live in the villa."
"One time, Nannan was discovered, and the others wanted to kick them out and let a relative take Uncle Liu's place. But they were unlucky and happened to be in a bad time for the Second Young Master..."
Ah Yun paused and lowered his voice, "The result was that the Second Young Master kicked all those people out and only allowed Nannan to come over once in a while."
Tao Ning noticed this and asked, "What is a bad time?"
Actually, Ayun would never talk about such matters concerning the master's family, but thinking of Song Yucong's attitude towards Tao Ning and the relationship between them, Ayun said, "Master Tao, do you remember what I said last time about the second young master's bad fortune?"
I remember that day he wanted to find out more about Song Yucong and then conquer him, but he was interrupted in the middle, and after that Ayun kept silent.
Now that Ayun mentioned it, Tao Ning still wanted to know. He had been forced to know about Song Yucong in the past, but now... thinking of Song Yucong squatting on the ground and trembling all over, Tao Ning felt a little soft-hearted for some reason.
He now wants to take the initiative to understand him, to understand the other side of him hidden beneath his tyrannical face.
"Yes, I remember."
Ayun sighed. He had been a servant in the Song family since he was a child. Although many people excluded him and looked down on him, he knew more than those people.
He spoke hesitantly, "...Mr. Song is actually a son-in-law, but he never allows anyone to mention this matter. He is also superstitious. It has reached... it has reached..." Ah Yun paused, looking for the right words, with a look of fear on his face: "It has reached the point where he is possessed by demons and monsters!"
Ah Yun breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "It's just that anyone who does big business in Haizhou will offer those things. But it's also because of this that the Second Young Master has a bad fortune. In Master Song's eyes, he's a useless son, a calamity that will ruin his luck."
