C223 How Is Love
The white energy saving light beam illuminated the already dim space during the day, giving off a dull and oppressive feeling.
The operating lights in the operating room were still on, and there was no movement, as if the person who had pushed in was being judged by God, whether to stay or to go, there was nothing to be done but wait.
At this moment, soft and slow footsteps came from one end. Tangtang was still wearing the cute black and white dress, but her current appearance was as dull as a pencil sketch from a gray drawing board.
Yang Chen, who had been sitting quietly at the cold bench in front of the operation room, stood up and asked with a heavy expression, "Have you called?"
Tangtang's expression was slightly numb, but she still nodded, "Yes, uncle and aunt Yuan. They will be here soon, together with my father and the others."
"Where's Zhou Guangnian?"
"He agreed on some terms and left earlier. We informed him that it was too late." Tangtang said faintly.
A trace of killing intent flashed in Yang Chen's eyes, but he still steadied himself. He supported Tangtang's thin shoulders and sat on the bench, "Rest for a while, you look bad too."
Tangtang lowered her eyes. Her complicated expression did not seem like it belonged to a girl of her age. It was as if the girl with a lively and flamboyant personality had instantly grown ten years, making others not recognize her.
After they sat down, Tangtang raised her head and smiled at Yang Chen. "Uncle, I'm fine, don't blame yourself. If not for you, we would all have been used by them and thrown into the sea to feed the fishes."
"I was too careless. There's nothing worth comforting, but I think Yuan Ye will get better." Yang Chen said.
Speaking of Yuan Ye in the operation room, Tangtang turned her head away. She wiped the corner of her eyes and said softly, "Uncle, do you still remember the words I asked you that day?"
"What do you mean?"
When he was with Tangtang, this girl kept on chattering non-stop. Yang Chen really couldn't remember what she said.
"I like to play with you and stick close to you. I thought that it was loving someone and loving someone, but you were always unwilling to accept me and didn't want to be intimate with me. You called me a girl and called me a little brat, so I asked you that day, how is a person going to mature …"
Yang Chen gradually recalled that Tangtang was talking about the day she ran away from home.
"Tell me, if one day I feel that the things I can complain about become less and less, or feel that I have nothing to complain about, then I will mature …"
Tangtang turned around, her eyes a little red and swollen, but a sweet smile still hung on her lips. "I've been thinking about those words for the past few days, but now I understand, because I feel really satisfied. I've always had such a person by my side, even using his life to protect me, so what's there to complain about …"
Yang Chen looked at the changed Tangtang quietly. He wasn't used to it, but he still listened attentively.
"Uncle, ever since I have become sensible, although dad and mom have been very good to me, but everything will go along with me, take care of me, and think about me. Only Brother Yuan Ye. When I was a kid, he accompanied me to summer camp, took me to the suburbs to catch the uangs, and took me to the seaside to play with a life buoy. Whenever other kids bullied me, he would help me beat them up. If he couldn't beat them, he would call others to fight with him. Many times, he couldn't get out of bed after being hit by Aunt Yuan's butt.
I used to think he was like my brother. If there's anything good to eat, I don't need to fight over it with him. He will personally deliver it to me. If there's anything fun, he'll definitely bring me along. When I wanted to play with the car, he hid it from the adults and used his private money to buy me a Porsche. In the end, he was told by the adults in his family and even locked up for a month. Later, when I was racing, he would drive behind me with his bodyguard, afraid that something would happen to me and that I would be bullied by bad people.
But I went to high school, study busy, he did e-sports work, we met less. Still, he would call me often and tell me about the new restaurant, the new movie, the new game, and he wanted to take me to eat, to see, to play.
I sometimes think he's so annoying that he has to take me with him, and I have so many things to do that I don't have time to be with him, so I often ask him on the phone very impolitely not to bother me, but he's never angry with me … "
As she spoke, Tangtang's voice trembled slightly. As she pursed her lips and smiled, her tears could not help but fall onto the smooth ground, splashing water everywhere.
Yang Chen listened silently. He had always thought that Tangtang's luxurious car was bought for her by her parents. Unexpectedly, it was given to her by Yuan Ye. He also didn't expect that Yuan Ye wasn't driving at night to play, but to protect Tangtang.
"Uncle, did you know that when you told me that day that I was just too young and didn't understand anything and saw you perform some very cool actions and saved me, I would blindly worship you and think that it was love? I always felt that it was because you were trying to shirk me and disliked me and thought that I was a child that you didn't take seriously, so I didn't believe that you had touched me on the street and held me in your arms. How could you not be responsible? Furthermore … I clearly wanted to see you so much. I wanted to hug you so much, how could that not be love for you …
But today, when I saw those two villains carry you out and say they're going to feed you to the fishes, I realized that all I had was the pain of losing a loved one, like losing an elder but not the emptiness of losing a lover. Although I don't know how it is love, but I am sure that my feelings for you really aren't love …
But in the car just now, when I saw Brother Yuan Ye in such pain and wanted to say something like that, I suddenly wanted to exchange my soul with him. If possible, let me bear those two bullets and enter the operation room in his place.
I know, although he has never scolded me or hit me, but if I get hurt because of him, he will definitely scold me and beat me up. Uncle, what do I do? I don't want to be scolded by him, I don't want to be beaten by him, I'm afraid that my heart will be broken, but I really don't want Brother Yuan Ye to leave me, wuu …
Tangtang turned around and threw herself onto Yang Chen. Her tears suddenly wet the clothes on Yang Chen's chest. Her crying sound was so abrupt in the corridor that no one could comfort her.
The girl's words seemed to be incoherent in the end, but the sincerity in them made him feel ashamed. In fact, many times, it was not that people didn't understand, but they lacked an opportunity to break free from their shackles and transform in the blink of an eye.
Ten minutes later, the sound of messy but rapid footsteps could be heard in the quiet corridor. Many people were rushing toward the operation room from afar.
Yang Chen and Tangtang, who had been waiting for the results, stood up. Tangtang ran towards the group of people and shouted, "Daddy!" before hugging Faang Zhongping, who had rushed over.
Among this group of people, Yang Chen only knew Tangtang's father, Secretary Faang Zhongping, and Faang Zhongping's bodyguard Dugu Zui. The other well-dressed men and women were likely the elders of Yuan Ye's family.
However, one of them was a woman wearing a light brown graceful dress. Her hair was tied up and she had a pretty face. The moment she saw Yang Chen, she seemed to have seen something that surprised her. The anxiety on her face gradually disappeared as she stared straight at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen also found that this woman was paying extra attention to him. He felt an inexplicable aura from this woman, both familiar and unfamiliar, but he wasn't narcissistic enough to think that this woman had fallen for him. From her appearance and clothes, it was very likely that she was Yuan Ye's mother.
Leading the group was a middle-aged man who looked extremely similar to Yuan Ye. It was the Patriarch of Yuan Family, Yuan Heewei. At this moment, when he saw that Tangtang was safe and sound, he looked at the still lit operating room and frowned: "Tangtang, tell Uncle in detail what happened! Wasn't he kidnapped just now? How could Ono be injured when he got to the hospital all of a sudden!? "
Faang Zhongping said unhappily, "Yuan Heewei, why are you in such a hurry!? Didn't you see how unsightly my daughter's expression is!? Slow down! "
"Faang Zhongping, Secretary Fang, my son's condition is unknown now, how can I not be anxious!?" Yuan Heewei shouted.
"Dad, let me talk to Uncle Yuan." Tangtang persuaded Faang Zhongping. She turned to Yuan Heewei and said, "Uncle Yuan, this morning, Liu Tie came to pick us up … …"
Tangtang gave a brief summary of what happened this morning. When she mentioned that Yang Chen had taken care of all the enemies by himself, only then did the group of people look at this seemingly ordinary man with a shocked expression. Faang Zhongping and Dugu Zui already knew Yang Chen and even threatened Yang Chen back then. They did not expect Yang Chen to overturn the situation on his own today, so they could not help but have a strange expression on their faces.
"Thank you, you saved my son and Tangtang." The lady who had been staring at Yang Chen walked forward and extended her hand towards Yang Chen.
Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and shook her hand. It was a warm and good feeling, "No need to be polite. Because of my negligence, he is still in the midst of rescuing. It's not very good."
"Tangtang calls you uncle. May I ask what your name is …" The woman stared into Yang Chen's eyes and asked in a seemingly light tone.
"Yang Chen."
It was obvious that the lady's body was trembling slightly. Her facial expression was stiff, but she still pursed her lips and smiled, "Hello, Yang Chen. My name is Yang Jieyu, I'm Yuan Ye's mother."
Yuan Heewei, who had been in the middle of restlessness, noticed his wife's strangeness. After carefully examining Yang Chen, he finally felt a little unnatural. He made eye contact with Yang Jieyu, and the two of them exchanged a glance without batting an eyelid.
"Yang Chen, I really have to thank you. Although Little Ye is still undergoing surgery, having you bring him out is a great thing for our Yuan Family and the Fang family. Zhou Guangnian's and Xu Zhihong's cooperation, we didn't think that we would be ambushed by them, let alone have any strength to fight back. This is good, even though Zhou Guangnian got the upper hand, but they still haven't gotten any big benefits, so we can face them head on! " Yuan Heewei also walked forward and shook hands gratefully with Yang Chen.
Yang Chen said, "No matter what you want to do, let's wait for Yuan Ye's operation to end first."
"That's right, I will immediately arrange some people to protect you around the hospital. Tangtang, go to daddy first. You are tired enough, let uncle Dugu send you back." Faang Zhongping said.
"No, I will wait for Brother Yuan Ye to come out." Tangtang shook her head resolutely.
"Let Tangtang stay here!" As a mother, she seemed to be more composed than anyone else.
Hearing Yang Jieyu's words, Faang Zhongping did not say anything more and silently nodded his head.
At this moment, the lights in the operation room finally went out, and two doors were pushed open by the nurses …
