Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Chapter 592: One Person’s Journey! 56

Upon hearing Ye Youxuan speak of him in this way, Feng Yu'an's eyes widened in disbelief, his face revealing obvious pain.

"Xuan'er... Xuan'er, no, don't say that... You're insulting yourself... We never thought that way! You... don't do this!"

Ye Youxuan looked at the sadness in Feng Yu'an's eyes and lowered his head. In fact, he knew that these people did not have such a dirty view of him, but he could no longer control his emotions. He wanted to get away from these people, so he had to use the most extreme way to tell them that he hated what they did. Even if it was only for a moment, he would feel much more relaxed.

Ye Youxuan wasn't blind to the few people who were somewhat dejected because of his words; it's just that everyone looks out for themselves, isn't that right?

Thinking of this, Ye Youxuan suppressed the reluctance in his heart.

"What do you think? How should I know? I only care about what you do... You promised that person two years, but less than a year later, you've come here like mad dogs, arranging for people to monitor my every move. Although you haven't come here, I'm being watched by those same pairs of eyes day and night... Do you know that you're driving me crazy?"

As Ye Youxuan spoke, a glint of madness flashed in his eyes. Then, under the horrified gazes of the crowd, he took a small step back. Just a little more, and Ye Youxuan would have been smashed to pieces right before their eyes.

"Anyway, there's no point in living for me. If I'm being monitored like this every day and have no freedom at all, I might as well be dead. What do you think?"

As she spoke, she moved back a little further.

"Okay! Okay! Don't be impulsive, I promise you! I promise you!!! I'll withdraw them all, I'll stop guarding you, I'll stop monitoring you. I promise to give you another year! This year, no one will bother you, I promise you!"

As Feng Yu'an spoke, he stared intently into Ye Youxuan's eyes.

"But Xuan'er... you have to promise me. I've given you a year, so... don't disappoint me. Don't go to some deserted place again. I'll worry, I'll be sad... I'll go crazy..."

Looking at the stubbornness in Feng Yu'an's eyes, Ye Youxuan suddenly felt extremely cold all over, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he lowered his eyes slightly, hiding all the fear in his eyes.

"Alright! I'll be waiting for you here, so... please don't bother me again this year!"

After saying that, Ye Youxuan snatched the phone from the man's hand and smashed it violently onto the rooftop, shattering it into pieces in front of everyone.

Ye Youxuan stood on the edge of the rooftop, gripping the railing tightly, his head bowed, and no one could see the expression on his face.

A gentle night breeze caressed Ye Youxuan's long hair, creating a breathtaking scene against the backdrop of the brightly lit city behind her.

Everyone fell silent, simply watching Ye Youxuan.

An unknown amount of time passed, so long that Huang Qiaoyu quietly shifted her stiff legs.

Ye Youxuan then spoke.

"You've probably heard what they said, so stop following me... I'm really annoyed right now and don't have time for you... So get out of here before I do anything! Otherwise, it'll be bad for everyone if someone gets hurt."

......

The group looked at each other, then reluctantly chose to leave.

After those people left, Ye Youxuan seemed unable to bear it any longer and his body suddenly went limp. Fortunately, Xie Zhiyu and Yin Ruiqi were watching over him and prevented him from falling.

"Xiaoxuan..."

Hearing Xie Zhiyu's call, Ye Youxuan slowly raised his head, but at this moment his cheeks were already wet with tears.

His body was trembling slightly; he was terrified, more terrified than anyone else, but he was helpless. He didn't want to go back; he didn't want to be a caged canary.

Xie Zhiyu reached out to wipe away the child's tears of sorrow, but in the end, he placed his hand on Ye Youxuan's shoulder, gently patting it to soothe his emotions.

"Xiao Xuan... don't be afraid, don't be nervous, you did a great job. You're fighting for yourself, you're amazing..."

Hearing Xie Zhiyu's words, Ye Youxuan gently shook her head and turned to look at the brightly lit city.

"No! I'm always afraid when I'm with them, I know that better than anyone... Feng Yu'an... he won't let me go... I know that better than anyone too... I've just been deceiving myself. He's excellent, you could say extremely excellent..."

Ye Menxuan tilted his head slightly and smiled at Xie Zhiyu, but large tears slid down his cheeks.

"I know he's been good to me. From the moment we first met, he's been secretly helping me. Many things were easily resolved because of his intervention. He knows my past, all my shameful experiences... He knows I begged and knelt to survive, and he knows my hands are stained with blood from my pursuit of power... Yet he doesn't find it terrifying, doesn't find it disgusting. He feels sorry for me. He pities me, protects me, and takes me under his wing, protecting me from any further harm... This is exactly what I want, but when I'm with him, I feel like I can't breathe..."

Tears dripped onto the back of his hand; though warm, they felt icy cold to Ye Youxuan's bone.

"I can't accept his feelings for me, yet I've unknowingly fallen into the cage he's woven for me, unable to escape, unable to break free... clinging tightly to my very flesh and blood..."

As Ye Youxuan spoke, she slowly raised her head and looked into the void. As if she saw something, she slowly raised her hand and gently stroked the void, as if touching someone's face.

Seeing Ye Youxuan's strange behavior, the people behind him couldn't help but frown. The two closest to him gripped his clothes tightly, as if afraid that he might do something rash and step into the abyss.

Ye Youxuan saw a phantom before his eyes, whether from excessive grief or because it had truly appeared. He saw Fusang, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, dressed in red and wearing the copper coin mask that he had once personally removed, standing quietly in front of him, looking at him with a face full of sorrow.

Ye Youxuan tugged at the corners of her lips, reached out to remove Fusang's mask, and muttered softly.

"So why...why would you leave me all alone? Why...why would you entrust me to a...demon who will imprison me for life?"

"Can you... really be so heartless?"
