Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Chapter 575: One Person’s Journey! 39

Liu Weicheng sat on the edge of the bed, raised his hand towards Ye Youxuan, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to lower it.

He desperately wanted to comfort Ye Youxuan, but as an observer—or rather, someone on the fringes, not even on the frontier—he didn't know how to comfort him. All he could do was quietly stay by his side.

......

It was unclear how much time had passed before Ye Youxuan's voice was heard again. Because he had his head buried in his chest, his voice sounded muffled and small, but Liu Weicheng still heard it!

"I... had a dream, a dream about so many people, but when I woke up I only remembered Feng Yu'an... He found me and took me back... There was no one I knew there, only me, and I was so lonely..."

The soft sobbing that followed startled Liu Weicheng.

"He told me that I was his, that it was fate, and that I could never escape him... He asked me to save him... But... who can spare me??? Who can... save me!"

Ye Youxuan stared at Liu Weicheng with bloodshot eyes, as if she wanted to get an answer from him.

Liu Weicheng pursed his lips, opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally lowered his head sadly.

"Xiao Xuan... don't overthink it, it's just a dream... when you wake up, everything will be alright!!!"

Liu Weicheng wasn't from a wealthy or prestigious family, but he had a considerable reputation in the medical field. He had come into contact with many prominent families and understood the hierarchical divisions within them...

The Feng family... is the most prestigious of all families, the most prestigious of all families!

Feng Yu'an, on the other hand, has held the title of leader of a powerful and wealthy family for many years...

His abilities, his appearance, his social status... all of these are top-notch; no one can compare to him...

But his methods were even more sophisticated than those of the cunning and calculating Old Master Feng, perhaps even surpassing them...

He can get whatever he wants...

Listening to Liu Weicheng's words and looking at the emotions in his eyes.

A desperate smile appeared on Ye Youxuan's face, his lips were already pale, and he closed his eyes helplessly.

How could he not know how formidable Feng Yu'an was?! He crawled out of a pile of corpses at a very young age, and protected his family from uncles and elders fighting over the inheritance...

Perhaps... everyone knows... he can't escape that person's grasp...

Perhaps... before long, he will be that canary in the luxurious villa...

Everyone knows, except for me... who's delusional!

Images from my dream kept flashing through my mind: a bird trapped in a luxurious cage, unable to spread its wings and fly—it was suffocating...

"No! No!!! I don't want to... I don't want this kind of life... I don't want to go back to the past!"

Ye Youxuan broke down; he jumped out of bed and ran outside.

The sudden action startled Liu Weicheng, who froze for a moment. Once he came to his senses, he immediately chased after Ye Youxuan!

"Xiaoxuan!!!"

Ye Youxuan ran barefoot and desperately outside, only to run into the three Zhou brothers who had come to see him.

Seeing Ye Youxuan, dressed in disheveled clothes and barefoot, running out like a madman, everyone stared wide-eyed.

"Xiao Xuan!"

With the Zhou brothers in front and Liu Weicheng behind, Ye Youxuan stood there in despair. In fact, he didn't want to run away anywhere. There was nowhere left to take him in. He just felt so tired!

Ye Youxuan stood in the courtyard, looking at every blade of grass and every tree, at the bells under the eaves, at the swing under the big tree...

The emotions that had been building up over this period of time could no longer be contained.

After Lin Moyan left, he kept telling himself not to think about the past, but... some things can't be stopped just because you want to. He knew why those people had gone to so much trouble to send him here. He felt like he was going crazy!

Every step he took felt like stepping into a mud pit, leaving him in a dilemma: to move forward or not to move forward!

He couldn't express his emotions to anyone, couldn't share his grief with everyone! He was like a little bird flying over the sea, unable to find a place to perch, afraid to stop, because stopping meant drowning in the ocean!

Despite his excellent disguise and apparent relaxation during this period, the inner struggles, constraints, and grief made him easily shattered by the people sent by Feng Yu'an!

Ye Youxuan clutched his head in pain. He didn't know why he was still alive. Why was he still living such a painful life?

Liu Weicheng frowned slightly, slowly extending his hand to Ye Youxuan, trying to keep his voice calm and gentle. He didn't want to reveal his current helplessness, nor his powerlessness in the face of Ye Youxuan's illness.

"Xiao Xuan! It's all in the past now, and everything is moving in a positive direction. Tomorrow will be even better! Once you're better, we can go to Imperial University, and you'll be able to see Young Master Du and Young Master Fu! They've been waiting for you to come back and have been thinking about you a lot!"

Ye Youxuan looked at Liu Weicheng. He knew this man was trying to comfort him, trying to save him, but...

"No!!! It's not over, it's never over... I've been deceiving myself. I thought their leaving had nothing to do with me. I thought time would heal all wounds. I thought time could erase all pain. But these were all just my imagination. I was just deceiving myself!"

Ye Youxuan clutched her hair in despair.

“I thought that as long as I was high enough, I could protect everyone around me. But Ah Huan died, her blood stained my whole body, I couldn't protect her... I thought that if I stopped holding onto power so tightly, and let go a little, so they wouldn't covet my power, we could at least live in peace for the next few years. But I was wrong. Ah Mo died, and... they didn't even leave me a complete skeleton! Ahhhh, do you know? I'm trying so hard to forget, I'm trying so hard to control myself from thinking about it, from remembering it, but I can't do it!!! I can see them every time I close my eyes, do you know what that feels like?”

Ye Youxuan pounded her head desperately, trying to erase those unpleasant images from her mind.
