Chapter 66: Chapter 43 We Love You
Translator: 549690339
Ye Xiao hastily changed a character.
Then, following the plot,
emboldened by Chen Yu’s inability to speak, Bai Shilan walked up to him.
Bai Shilan gently said, “Xiaoyu, Sister Bingtong almost lost her life trying to save you. Now someone is lying to frame her. You wouldn’t let them succeed, would you? You don’t have to speak, but you should show some gratitude towards Sister Bingtong. That way, some people’s accusations would fall through.”
Chen Yu lifted his head slightly, his eyes lacking focus, appearing eerily dark and somewhat frightening.
He seemed to be looking at Bai Shilan, yet also not. In his field of vision, numerous images emerged. It was as if he had returned to the day of the car accident. He was traveling with his parents, all of them chatting and laughing, as he endlessly talked about how fun the amusement park would be. But without any signs, the tragedy occurred.
A large truck suddenly went out of control.
His father struggled to steer the wheel, but it was already too late.
There was no avoiding it, no escape at all.
His eyes widened in terror, in the last moments of life.
His father, and also his mother, instinctively lunged towards him.
He survived but lost the two people who loved him the most.
No. A child like him didn’t deserve his parents’ love. Surely, they must now regret it, hating him deeply from heaven.
If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t have died at all.
In Chen Yu’s gaze, two figures drenched in blood seemed to appear.
They were covered in blood, tears of blood in their eyes, steam of blood rising from their bodies, looking at him with a savage smile.
On closer look, these were his parents…
Chen Yu, head raised, was not at all afraid.
Because,
he had seen such scenes many, many times before.
His parents wanted him to join them.
And he longed deeply to return to them.
“Chen Yu, it’s all your fault. You caused our deaths.”
“We died. Why are you still alive?”
“Come join us, come quickly.”
Suddenly provoked, Chen Yu struggled with all his might.
He thought,
maybe he should have just fallen into the lake then and never woken up.
That way, he could see his parents again.
He wouldn’t have to live alone in this desolate world.
“Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu calm down,” Li Mingyu’s eyes instantly reddened as she held Chen Yu tight and then glanced at Bai Shilan: “No matter what, please don’t provoke Xiaoyu anymore now.”
Right now, she had no intention of judging Ye Xiao and Ye Bingtong’s case; she just wanted Chen Yu to calm down.
Bai Shilan’s eyes shifted: “It’s my fault. Director Li, you take the child to the hospital first.”
She exchanged a glance with Ye Bingtong, both sighing with relief.
With the child in this state, he was very unlikely to speak.
Thus, today’s incident would also pass.
At least, Ye Xiao’s accusations could not be proved.
Although Ye Bingtong hadn’t really become Chen Yu’s lifesaving benefactor, she had indeed made the motion to save him; well utilized, it could earn her some favor.
With further maneuvering, the position of the female lead might not be out of reach.
Just as Li Mingyu was about to take Chen Yu to leave,
in Chen Yu’s hallucination,
his parents were also about to disappear.
They still bore that horrific appearance.
Chen Yu showed a look of despair.
He knew,
from past experience, his parents were about to vanish.
Even though they were terrifying in the hallucination, he still wanted to keep seeing them.
But,
they hated him, so they wouldn’t even stay with him any longer.
“Chen Yu.”
In the hallucination, his parents’ voices were as shrill as ever.
Terrible wounds appeared on their faces.
Chen Yu knew,
in the end,
they would tell him,
they hated him.
It’s okay, a child like him shouldn’t be treated kindly by this world anyway.
He shouldn’t even be alive; next time, he will find an opportunity to join his parents.
Li Mingyu had already picked up Chen Yu.
However, Chen Yu twisted his head, constantly looking at the spot in the illusion where his parents were.
Coincidentally,
that spot was precisely where Ye Bingtong was.
Upon seeing this, Bai Shilan hurriedly said, “Director Li, look, Xiaoyu can’t bear to part with Bingtong.”
Li Mingyu was stunned for a moment and also somewhat surprised.
She couldn’t help but hesitate.
Could it really be that Ye Bingtong had helped Xiaoyu?
Ye Bingtong felt a surge of joy in her heart and quickly said, “Xiaoyu, you go to the hospital with peace of mind. Sister will come to visit you.”
Chen Yu stared blankly at the parents in the illusion and did not pay attention to what Ye Bingtong meant.
In his line of sight,
the appearance of his parents gradually became blurry until only a thin shadow remained.
Then, they suddenly looked at him.
Chen Yu also gazed at his own parents.
They hated him, he knew, but he wasn’t afraid.
He too wanted to be with his mom and dad.
But in the illusion,
the appearance of his mother suddenly softened.
His father held back his mother, and as they looked at him, they said softly, “Xiaoyu, we love you.”
Afterwards, they completely disappeared within the illusion.
Chen Yu was dumbstruck.
What did they say?
Not hate him?
But love him!
Could it be that his parents still loved him after he had caused their death?
In Chen Yu’s mind, the phrase ‘we love you’ echoed continuously, his vision gradually blurring with tears that started to fall drop by drop.
Dad…
Mom…
Why?
Why do you still love me?
“Look, Xiaoyu can’t bear to leave Bingtong. He’s even crying,” Bai Shilan hurriedly said again.
Seeing Chen Yu’s tears, Li Mingyu couldn’t help but feel somewhat bewildered.
Ever since his son and daughter-in-law’s accident, Chen Yu had never laughed again, nor had he cried. It was as if he had enclosed himself in a world of his own, where no matter how hard others tried, they couldn’t reach into his heart.
But now,
he was crying.
Was it because he didn’t want to part with Ye Bingtong?
Bai Shilan gently pushed Ye Bingtong.
Ye Bingtong got the hint and walked over to Chen Yu. She said softly, “Don’t cry, Xiaoyu. How about Sister accompanies you to the hospital, okay?”
As she spoke, she also reached out, intending to touch Chen Yu’s head.
But Chen Yu abruptly dodged away.
“Xiaoyu?” Ye Bingtong’s expression was a bit awkward, but she quickly composed herself, “Are you a bit shy?”
Chen Yu pressed his lips together and didn’t speak.
He was constantly recalling the last words of his parents.
Usually,
every time he saw his mom and dad, he would hate himself even more, wishing he could die right then and there.
But this time, they said they loved him.
In Chen Yu’s heart, it was as if something was slowly beginning to sprout, that seemed to be something called courage.
At this moment,
a gentle voice sounded.
Ye Xiao softly said, “They saved you with their lives, naturally, they want you to live well. Chen Yu, you should live better than before, more brilliantly than before, only then can you truly honor them.”
As Ye Xiao suddenly brought up an unrelated topic, Li Mingyu frowned and glanced at her.
The car accident of Chen Yu’s parents was a taboo subject for him.
These words were ones they had tried to offer as advice at first, but each time, it only caused Chen Yu to harm himself more. Later on, they dared not bring it up again.
This time, as Ye Xiao suddenly mentioned it, Li Mingyu couldn’t help but look worriedly at Chen Yu, afraid that he would go into a rage again.
But Chen Yu was calm this time, he looked up, somewhat blankly staring at Ye Xiao.
She just stood there, seemingly radiating light.
In Chen Yu’s heart, for some reason, he felt a very close affinity with Ye Xiao.
Suddenly, he reached out his hands towards Ye Xiao.
