Chapter 299 He Loves Her, He Takes Down the Scum [3 Updates]
As they got closer, the mist from the heavy rain dissipated, and the girl's face gradually became clearer.
For a moment, Fu Yunshen thought he was hallucinating.
Who would come here in the middle of a stormy night?
Fu Yunshen's eyelashes fluttered, and his lips curved into a self-deprecating smile as he whispered, "Dreaming again..."
Last night, he didn't dream of Old Master Fu, nor of Yan Yuehua and Fu Liuying; he only dreamed of one person.
Ying Zijin.
Dreams are a magical thing; they are a manifestation of a person's subconscious.
He remembered the first time he met her in the snow on the street.
He was never a good person; he killed people, and his hands were stained with blood in the process of searching for his enemies.
At the time, he only intended for Nie Chao to save her, and from then on, they would just pass each other by and become strangers.
But she didn't ask anyone to help her; she took care of it herself.
That's why he stopped for her.
He saw himself in her; they would rebel.
So he made a decision: he would protect her.
He had indeed always treated her like a little girl or a younger sister, until yesterday.
She ordered food for him, reminded him to eat, and stood up for him in front of so many people.
All the suppressed emotions erupted in an instant.
He thought that he would never love anyone else but her.
But he really couldn't bear to let her step into hatred with him.
His Yao Yao should be like other children, receiving the best things in the world and never having to see any darkness.
Ying Zijing was still holding the umbrella in one hand when she half-squatted down.
She took a tissue from her pocket with her free hand and wiped the rain off his face.
His voice was as calm as ever: "Sir, wake up, it's nighttime."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen's long back stiffened, and he slowly raised his head.
Now I see it clearly.
All his guard was instantly lowered, and he laughed, "It really is you, little one."
That familiar tone could only come from their own child.
Ying Zijing didn't speak, her eyelashes drooping as she gently wiped all the water off his face.
Her fingers occasionally brushed against his face, leaving a clear, warm touch.
Heavy rain in Shanghai is always quick to arrive and quick to pass.
Within ten minutes, the heavy rain stopped and the dark clouds dispersed.
After the rain, the moon and stars came into view, and the world was filled with a serene blue hue.
After wiping his face, Ying Zijing paused for a moment before softly saying, "Happy birthday, Fu Yunshen."
This was the first time she had called him by his name.
Fu Yunshen turned his head and noticed that the girl was also carrying a bag containing a cake box and candles.
He has only celebrated his birthday twice since birth: once when he was one year old, and once when he turned eighteen and came of age.
He didn't like celebrating his birthday; it constantly reminded him of the lives he carried on his shoulders.
Fu Yunshen took a slow breath.
He had never felt his heart beat so wildly before, almost as if it were about to leap out of his chest.
Ying Zijin took out two floor mats, handed one to him, and then sat down next to him.
As she took the cake box out of the bag, she said, "I may not have told you about my situation."
Fu Yunshen pressed his hand to his chest: "Hmm?"
"Actually, I died once," Ying Zijin said calmly. "At that time, it was a desperate situation. There was no other way; someone had to die."
If she hadn't died, she wouldn't have returned to Earth.
In retrospect, what seems like a misfortune may actually be a blessing in disguise.
Fu Yunshen's eyelashes trembled: "Yaoyao, you—"
"It's alright, it's all in the past," Ying Zijin said calmly. "I've told you about my best friend. She held me back then and wouldn't let me die."
Fu Yunshen thought of Dudu: "Brother remembers."
“I’ll tell her—” Ying Zijing leaned against the rock behind her, “Jun Muqian, look up.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen also raised his head.
After the heavy rain, the Milky Way appeared, a dazzling display of starlight.
In my ears, I could hear the girl's voice drifting in the wind.
"The clouds are me, the wind is me, the stars are me, the moon is me, and everything you see is me."
“I’ve always been here.”
Fu Yunshen gazed at the sky without speaking, his eyes gradually growing deeper.
“They say that after people die, they become stars and hang in the sky.” Ying Zijing finished cutting the cake. “No matter what, we will be with you.”
Fu Yunshen turned his head slightly, his peach blossom eyes lowered in thought.
When he looks at someone, he gives off a very affectionate feeling.
As if he had made a decision, his lips curved into a genuine smile: "Thank you, Yaoyao, I understand."
“Hmm, I thought you would tell me—” Ying Zijin lit the candle as well, “It’s so cold, little one, remember to wear long johns, don’t get cold.”
"..."
Fu Yunshen turned around, raised his hand, and poked her cheek: "Little girl, you're so cute today."
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then glanced at him and said, "Something's not right with you."
Surely you didn't get your brain damaged from being in the rain for a short while?
Fu Yunshen took the paper plate from her and lit the candle.
He's made up his mind.
He had to work hard to climb out of the darkness so that he could give her a bright future.
**
On the other side.
The Fu family's old residence.
Ian squatted outside with Yunshan and Yunwu.
He squatted there for three hours straight.
Ian had just arrived from O continent and hadn't even changed his clothes yet; he was a bit cold.
He couldn't help but hug himself tighter: "Why don't we just go in? You're not going to be taken away for trespassing, are you?"
"What do you know?" Yunshan sneered. "We're waiting for that old woman to get up in the middle of the night, and we want to do it in front of her."
“Old woman?” Ian thought for a moment, “Fu Mingcheng’s wife.”
"The lights are on," Yunwu suddenly said. "Let's go inside."
Before Ian could even react, the two brothers had already rushed into the Fu family's old house.
The sound of the front door being kicked open startled Mrs. Fu, who had gone to the kitchen for a drink of water.
She hurried out to take a look, and before she could react, she saw Yunshan and Yunwu go upstairs and tie up Fu Yichen, who was still asleep.
Fu Yichen was suddenly awakened and saw the familiar faces again. He screamed in fright, "Mom, save me! It's them, the same ones from last time! Help me!"
"Yichen!" Upon seeing the scene before her, Madam Fu's vision blurred, and she nearly fainted. "Who are you? Let Yichen go!"
"Old woman, don't be in such a hurry." Yunshan sneered, "Your son's debt to our young master has been paid off first, and it will be your turn soon."
He didn't give Fu Yichen a chance to speak at all, and stuffed a stinky sock into Fu Yichen's mouth.
Madam Fu alone was no match for Yunshan and Yunwu.
She could only watch helplessly as Fu Yichen was kidnapped.
"Who is your young master?" Madam Fu's mind was buzzing. "When did our Fu family offend your young master?"
She and Fu Mingcheng have always been very cautious and never offend any important figures.
No one in Shanghai would dare to barge into the Fu family's residence so brazenly.
"You'll find out soon enough." Yunshan sneered again. "What you owe the young master, we'll make you pay back tenfold, a hundredfold."
Mrs. Fu stood there, stunned, for a long time before she finally picked up the phone, her fingers trembling, and called Fu Mingcheng.
**
Fu Yichen was taken to an empty villa.
Along the way, he was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and bowels: "Brothers, I really didn't do anything. I'm a good citizen. I wouldn't even dare to step on an ant. Please let me go back. I'll do anything for you, even go through fire and water!"
He had thought that once Old Master Fu passed away, Fu Yunshen would lose his backing, and everything in the Fu family would fall on him and Fu Yihan.
The dream has been shattered before it even came true.
"You didn't do anything?" Yunshan kicked him. "Then let me ask you, wasn't it you who locked our young master in the secret room, intending to kill him with a poisonous snake?"
"Didn't you switch our young master's food with poisoned food, trying to kill him?"
Yunshan grabbed Fu Yichen by the collar: "Fu Yichen, now that you're here, don't even think about leaving here alive."
Fu Yichen broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this and suddenly shouted, "You...your young master is Fu Yunshen?!"
He suddenly remembered a blind spot he had overlooked for a long time.
He was locked up by Fu Yunshen for several days and couldn't even get a meal.
Fu Yunshen also dealt with the retainers cultivated by Fu Mingcheng.
However, Fu Mingcheng and his wife always said that he was out of his mind, and that Fu Yunshen was just a spoiled brat with no power whatsoever.
Nothing else happened after that, and Fu Yichen almost forgot about it.
Fu Yichen raised his head tremblingly and saw Yunwu carrying two large cages in.
There were thirty venomous snakes in total.
This includes the most venomous king cobra and the lancet pit viper.
Brother Fu is about to turn into a beast (?)
Then it gets sweet and refreshing!
I'm desperately asking for monthly votes at the end of the month!
