Chapter 18 part 1
Tang Yue didn’t know how she had managed to find her way there.
Not far ahead was the familiar tall figure, wearing a hand-tailored suit, his hair impeccably styled, striding on long legs towards the parking lot.
Tang Yue followed behind like a wandering spirit.
Her mind was occupied by a single thought—
Tang Yuqi was really here!
Yu Fei said he came to see his cousin, and Tang Yuqi had just left that ward…
Was it… a girlfriend?
When Tang Yue left home, Tang Yuqi was there too. For him to come all this way at night to visit, it could only be a girlfriend, right?
Tang Yue knew it was bad to be jealous of other girls, but right now she felt so wronged, so wronged.
She didn’t dare hope Tang Yuqi would treat her so well, but at least, at least listen to her finish speaking, ask why she was in the hospital…
The bitter feeling took root in her heart and grew rapidly, her vision blurring along with it.
Tang Yue forgot she was injured and hurriedly raised her hand to wipe her eyes. The movement pulled at the wound that had just been re-treated.
“Hiss—” Her expression twisted for a moment.
Ahead, Tang Yuqi had reached the parking spot, opening the car door to get in. Hearing a sound, he unconsciously glanced over.
The figure that came into view made his body freeze instantly, followed by a surge of uncontrollable anger.
“Tang Yue!”
“Brother, I…” Tang Yue heard the voice and looked over.
The hospital parking lot lights were dim, and half of Tang Yuqi’s face was hidden in the shadows. His expression at that moment made Tang Yue suddenly feel a trace of fear.
Yes, fear.
Growing up, although Tang Yuqi didn’t like her and ignored her, Tang Yue had only ever felt wronged and sad. Fear was a first.
She called out to him, her voice very small, but then she didn’t know what to say.
Tang Yuqi didn’t care about her emotions at all. The anger in his eyes surged as if to burn Tang Yue to ashes, “Are you sick? Not learning anything good, learning to stalk!”
He completely forgot what Tang Yue had said in the phone call not long ago. The moment he saw her here, his first reaction was that she was stalking him.
“What are you following me for?” Tang Yuqi strode over, looming over her and demanding an answer.
Why is she stalking me?
Does she know something?
How long has she been following me? Where did she follow me to? What did she see…
Tang Yue felt that the Tang Yuqi at this moment was completely different from the person in her memory.
Before, he was just a bit cold, but now he was like a maddened beast that had been hurt, frightening.
Tang Yue instinctively wanted to flee.
And she did, turning to run back the way she came.
However, before she could run far, she was caught by Tang Yuqi.
“Explain clearly, why are you stalking me?” He grabbed her shoulder, his grip extremely heavy, relentless in his questioning.
“Ah— it hurts, it hurts so much, let go!” The place he grabbed was exactly where Tang Yue was injured. She cried out in pain, trying to break free.
Seeing this, Tang Yuqi frowned tightly, his grip not loosening in the slightest, scolding sternly, “Tang Yue, don’t pretend with me, I don’t buy it!”
“Let go, let go quickly, I really hurt…” Tang Yue’s tears flowed out. Under the dim light, her face appeared somewhat pale, “I beg you, Brother, it really hurts…”
Tang Yuqi vaguely felt something was wrong, but before he could think clearly, something suddenly flew from the side and hit him.
He unconsciously let go of Tang Yue’s hand.
“What the hell are you doing?!” A roar followed, and a tall, sturdy figure rushed towards Tang Yuqi, grabbing his arm and twisting it back, while simultaneously sweeping his legs.
The next second, Tang Yuqi’s body, which had always seemed tall in Tang Yue’s eyes, was pressed to the ground, unable to move, groaning in pain.
Tang Yue kept crying from the pain, tears blurring her vision. She saw the sudden scene but didn’t see clearly, and her brain didn’t react.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, “Don’t be afraid, it’s okay now.”
It was Yu Fei. His voice was rough, perhaps trying to be as gentle as possible to comfort her, but it sounded a bit strange instead.
But to Tang Yue at this moment, it was like the sound of heaven.
“I saw your expression wasn’t quite right just now, thought about it, and decided to follow and check…” Yu Fei explained.
Logically speaking, Tang Yue was just a girl he had recently met. Accompanying her to the outpatient building to treat her wound was already very kind.
After parting ways, Yu Fei carried the lunch box, ready to go to the VIP ward to see his cousin Yu Zhen.
But after walking a few steps, he couldn’t stop thinking about Tang Yue. Her expression at that time was truly worrying.
He thought, it wouldn’t matter if he went to Yu Zhen’s a bit later, so he turned and chased in the direction Tang Yue left.
From afar, he heard crying.
Yu Fei’s heart tightened instantly. He sped up and ran over, seeing Tang Yue being grabbed.
That arm was injured. Not long ago, he had accompanied her to get it treated. The doctor scolded her while bandaging, and she gritted her teeth without making a sound.
What kind of skill is bullying a little girl!
Yu Fei threw the lunch box in his hand directly, then rushed up to subdue the person.
“Thank goodness!” Thank goodness he came to check because he was worried.
Yu Fei was thinking about giving this bully a couple of punches, but upon closer inspection, the person looked familiar.
“Tang… Yuqi?” Yu Fei called out hesitantly.
“Let! Go!” Tang Yuqi’s face twisted in pain, gritting his teeth as he spat out two words.
Yu Fei cursed inwardly, hesitating for a moment whether to take the opportunity to settle a personal grudge.
Yu Fei had always disliked Tang Yuqi.
Initially seeing Tang Yuqi around Yu Zhen, Yu Fei thought he had improper intentions towards his cousin.
Yu Fei’s father was the eldest son in the family, and Yu Zhen’s father was the third.
Yu Fei called him Third Uncle.
At the time, Yu Zhen was a freshman in college. It was normal for girls to date when they grew up, and Yu Fei was just worried she would be deceived.
Although he was only Yu Zhen’s cousin, he was closer than a real brother, having grown up with her.
Yu Zhen had been in poor health since childhood, frequently visiting the hospital.
Once, she had a sudden attack, the situation very severe, frightening the children playing with her.
Although she was rescued from the hospital later, gradually, the surrounding children stopped playing with her.
Fortunately, she had Yu Fei, this cousin, who took her everywhere. Although he wasn’t old himself, he took care of her meticulously.
But Yu Zhen’s health was really too poor.
As she grew up, instead of improving, it got worse.
During elementary school, she had several serious illnesses, staying in the hospital for a month at a time.
During that period, it was a critical time for Third Uncle’s career. Originally, there were several opportunities for further study and promotion, but coinciding with Yu Zhen’s illness, he couldn’t rest assured about the child and gave them up.
Later, Third Aunt heard from someone that there was a very effective master in the town below. A child with a similar condition to Yu Zhen’s recovered after being seen by that master.
Third Uncle and Third Aunt originally didn’t reject these things, but they didn’t believe in them either.
But Yu Zhen’s situation really worried the couple.
Over the years, they had visited the city hospital countless times. Each time the child was rescued, but the specific cause couldn’t be found.
They had also gone to the provincial hospital several times, with the same result.
The couple kept thinking about saving some money to go to a better hospital outside.
“Why not go have a look? If it works, great; if not, there’s no loss…”
Finally, Third Uncle and Third Aunt decided to take Yu Zhen to have a look.
