Chapter 10 010 Cried
Raising his arm to cover his eyes, Yin Chu Jiu murmured out all the emotions he had suppressed in his heart over the past few days.
The more he saw Yue Ling suffer, the more overwhelming his regret and guilt became.
The heavy guilt weighed on him, making it hard to breathe.
So, even though he knew Yue Ling would hate him, he still couldn't help but conceal his identity, wanting to do something, wanting to make amends.
Previously, he didn't know why he had come early, nor did he know why he had arrived before the story even started.
Now he understands that perhaps God has given him a chance, a chance to change and make amends.
In the woods, two children were piled on top of each other. One on top, one on the bottom.
The one on top had no expression, while the one below covered his face with his hands.
Time passed so silently that it was almost imperceptible.
The child above stared intently at the child beneath him, his dark pupils filled with endless mockery. But suddenly, he saw a drop of water.
A drop of water flowed down the cheek of the child beneath him, reflecting the color of the sunlight as it fell into the grass.
Yue Ling seemed to have been stung and jumped off Yin Chu Jiu.
His pupils contracted.
Is Yin Chu Jiu crying?
How could he possibly cry?
The person on top of him got off, but Yin Chu Jiu remained lying on the ground without moving.
"Yue Ling, hit me, curse me, hit me however you want, curse me however you want, it's all my fault."
Yue Ling ignored his words; he only cared about what he had just seen. He pointed it out bluntly, "You cried."
Yin Chu Jiu paused, then said hoarsely, "I didn't."
“You cried!” Yue Ling insisted.
Yin Chu Jiu's arm, which was covering his eyes, trembled slightly. Yes, he was crying.
He really cried.
He didn't know why he was crying; he just felt a lump in his throat and his eyes stinging as he spoke those words.
The more he thought about those things, the more suffocated he felt.
He only realized he was crying after the tears started falling.
He, a grown man in his twenties, actually cried.
what a shame.
He wanted to control it, but he couldn't.
"I'm sorry." Overwhelmed with guilt, Yin Chu Jiu no longer bothered to hide it now that he had been discovered. He lowered his arms, turned to the side, and held his head in his hands, crying as he said sorry, "Yue Ling, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to you all."
Much later, when Yin Chu Jiu recalled this incident, he thought that if he hadn't been only five or six years old at the time, with a five-head-tall body, perhaps he wouldn't have cried so freely to vent his emotions.
He wanted to vent his apologies to Yue Ling and also to release the emotions he felt from the sudden time travel.
However, Yin Chu Jiu was unaware that Yue Ling had walked up to him as he was crying uncontrollably.
He saw Yue Ling standing in front of him, wearing tattered straw sandals. He looked up and met Yue Ling's deep, emotionless eyes.
He said, "Since you want to apologize, then from now on you have to do whatever I say, and you can never leave until I say it's okay."
What?
Yin Chu Jiu didn't react for a moment. When he did, he wiped his face and said, "Fine! Whatever you say!"
Yin Chu Jiu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, but Yue Ling only glanced at them casually.
He wanted to see just how far his so-called apology would go.
Yin Chu Jiu was unaware of Yue Ling's thoughts, and even if he had, he wouldn't have any opinions or thoughts about them.
The fact that he stayed even though the child didn't trust him is already an improvement.
Next, Yin Chu Jiu followed Yue Ling and they returned to the place where they had begged for food. The result was the same as in the morning: he got a few copper coins, but Yue Ling did not.
Strangely, Yue Ling did nothing to him.
As the sun set, Yin Chu Jiu handed over the few copper coins he had obtained to Yue Ling, just as he had done in the morning. This time, Yue Ling accepted the money without hesitation.
After collecting the money, Yue Ling said to Yin Chu Jiu, "Don't come here tomorrow. Wait for me at the city gate."
Yin Chu Jiu knew it was time for him to pay off his debts.
but……
Yin Chu Jiu didn't leave; he followed behind Yue Ling. Facing the disgusted look in Yue Ling's eyes, he said, "I won't go back."
Yue Ling stopped.
Yin Chu Jiu continued, "I left a letter for my parents, telling them that I came to find you and that I will not go back. From now on, I will live with you in the dilapidated temple."
That's quite a convincing act!
Yue Ling moved closer to Yin Chu Jiu, his dark, deep eyes fixed on him as if he were sizing up prey.
Because of its bizarre appearance, this kind of scrutiny is chilling.
But he took a step back, said nothing, and turned and left.
Yin Chu Jiu felt uneasy upon seeing this, but also breathed a slight sigh of relief and followed the child.
In fact, the contents of the letter were not as simple as he made them out to be.
The repayment is real, and the apology is real, but it doesn't mean I won't go back.
In his letter, he said he would go back, but not often.
At the same time, he told Uncle Yin and Aunt Yin that if they were worried, they could have someone secretly follow him.
When he was Yin Chu Jiu of Juan Yun Lane, the compensation he gave to Yue Ling only made Yue Ling feel like it was a condescending act of charity.
If you're going to apologize, then you should apologize sincerely and honestly.
In the letter, he talked about many of his mistakes, expressed all his remorse, and shared all his thoughts.
Uncle Yin and Aunt Yin care deeply for their son. Yin Chu Jiu grew up without parents, and he doesn't know what the best course of action is, nor how to communicate effectively with his parents.
He didn't know how to explain his meaning to Uncle Yin and Aunt Yin. He could only treat them as his friends and express his thoughts and truest feelings as if he were talking to a pair of friends.
At the end of the letter, he wrote: Father, Mother, if you do not agree with what your son has done, may I beg you to give me three months? Come back to me after three months.
And if Yue Ling still doesn't accept his meager compensation three months later, he doesn't know what will happen.
Yin Chu Jiu didn't think about the worst possible outcome; he just wanted to do everything he could and was capable of doing in this limited time.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered that Uncle Yin and Aunt Yin might worry about his safety, but he was certain that Yue Ling wouldn't kill him, which gave him the confidence to do so.
As the creator of Yue Ling, he may not know all of Yue Ling's subtle thoughts. After all, when he wrote the story, he only wrote psychological descriptions related to the plot and depicted that aspect of Yue Ling's personality. However, he knew Yue Ling's general personality.
Yue Ling hates everyone, but he doesn't kill easily. Those he kills are those who have crossed his bottom line and must be killed.
He is a principled vengeful psychopath.
He would etch a precise amount in his mind for everyone who owed him, remembering it clearly, exactly, with terrifying accuracy.
The things the original owner did before he transmigrated were still somewhat beyond the bottom line, not enough for Yue Ling to kill him. He would torture him and humiliate him, but he wouldn't kill him.
"Third Sister, what do you think?" Uncle Yin sat in the room, holding the letter left by Yin Chu Jiu in his hand, tapped the table, and asked Third Sister Yin beside him.
Yin San Niang had already read the letter. After reading it, she remained silent until Yin San Shu spoke, at which point she turned her head.
She blinked, suppressing the moisture in her eyes, and said, "I think it's great."
Yin San Niang stood up, took the letter left by Yin Chu Jiu, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
“We owe the Yue family, and we can never repay them. We couldn’t do anything about Chu Chu’s bullying of Yue Ling. We wanted to help Yue Ling, but we didn’t dare to. We are selfish parents who only think about our son’s future and ignore the moral principles in our hearts.”
"At first, he knows he was wrong, he knows to apologize, and he knows what he should do. This shows that he is taking responsibility for his actions. He is our good son, and he is better than us."
"Third Brother, I won't stop Chu Chu. He can do whatever he wants. Even if... Yue Ling kills him, it doesn't matter to me. I will bring Chu Chu back and go with him."
"Third Brother, if you want to stop me, then knock me out and tie me up. Otherwise, if you go and bring Chu Chu back, I will definitely stop you."
As Yin San Niang spoke, tears welled in her eyes, which were red and swollen. Uncle Yin stood up, hugged her tightly, gently stroked her hair, and sighed, "Silly girl."
What you think is exactly what I think.
Author's Note:
Yue Ling: Stay. You can't leave until I say you can.
Yin Chu Jiu: Okay...okay then QAQ!
