Chapter 49: Arc 3- The Crime Lord’s Undercover Boyfriend (15)
[You have purchased the Ninth Grade Protective Pill, worth 1500 experience value, current balance: 6370]
This was the first time Su Yang had ever made such a generous purchase in all the time he had been bound to this system, and it could be said that it was an unprecedented and impressive feat in history! Even the system could not help but wonder if the host had been swapped!
In fact, the moment the experience value was deducted, Su Yang already regretted it. Today’s purchase of Protection Pill plus the Healing Medicine was a total of 2000 experience value, equivalent to saying that the last world and the previous world’s tasks were all done for nothing.
For Su Yang, who had always been careful with his money, this decision had been made on a whim!
The system said comfortingly, “You can earn experience again if you lose it, but if you lose your life, you’ll really lose everything.”
As he spat out his last words, he finally fell into a coma.
The moment he closed his eyes, Zhao Feng practically lost all of his rationality, he picked Su Yang up in an embrace and rushed straight out, he couldn’t hear what the bodyguards around him were saying, let alone Qiao Yang, the one he resented, who was yelling something. His world only had the boy in his embrace, and the coldness that engulfed his body in an instant.
“Let’s go to the doctor, Yanqing, I’ll take you to be treated by the doctor, don’t you ever abandon me again,” he murmured, not even noticing what he was saying to himself, just repeating his words over and over again, “Can’t abandon me again… “
Gao Min chased after him and shouted, “Master Zhao, Young Master Xu must be taken to the hospital! Give him to the bodyguards!”
Zhao Feng paid no attention, he just kept running blindly. His speed was far beyond that of a normal person, and he shrugged off a group of bodyguards and rushed out of the Imperial Court first.
Gao Min had just come out of the lift and was shocked to see Zhao Feng had already reached the door, she hurriedly chased after him and called out to the people guarding the ground floor, “You lot don’t want to chase after him faster? Master Zhao is not in a normal state now, if anything goes wrong, you all need not live!”
The dozens of people were stunned and hurriedly took off in pursuit. Zhao Feng exited the imperial court but had no idea where to go so he just walked forward in a wooden manner. Many images flashed through his mind. There was a beautiful woman crying, weeping so hard she almost fainted, and there was an old, grey-haired general, with tearful eyes, pointing to the sky and cursing, the Jing clan to have no descendant and unable to continue their bloodline for eternity!
While listening to the incessant cries and curses, his heart was empty, as if he had lost the ability to feel pain.
Then an old white-bearded monk, whom others called Master Jue Qing1the name given means heartless, gave him a glowing jade bead, which he placed in the mouth of the sleeping boy, who he then saw begin to freeze through his body and was soon frozen in a cold jade coffin.
He knew that they were protecting the boy, and because they could not be so cruel as to destroy his body and were afraid that he would be desecrated by future generations, they had frozen him forever.
But the pain still drove him insane, day after day he could not sleep or eat, and his eyes were always open and closed with the shadow of that dog’s son. Then he knelt in front of the mountain temple for three whole days, and the old monk finally nodded and prescribed a medicine that restored Wu Shi’s fertility.
He took away her child, so he compensated her with one. But he had lost his wife, where should he go to find him? The image changed abruptly. He saw a shy Xu Yanqing whispering in his ear, “If I can make the food that Brother Feng likes and become even more outstanding, will Brother Feng be able to like me a little too? Not because of others, but because of me alone.”
“I know my identity, and I don’t dare presume vainly to replace the one in your heart… Brother Feng, I don’t want much, really, just giving me a little bit would be great, is this also not okay?”
“I don’t want much… just a little bit…”
He didn’t want much, but did he give it to him? “You ask, who is the person in my heart… I’ll tell you now, it was… you in a previous life…”
Everything had already been answered, why he suddenly knew about the Wu father and daughter pair, why he knew that Tao Ziyu’s corpse was in his hands, why he suddenly defied alienating him and then accepted him wholeheartedly again.
Because he was Tao Ziyu.
Because he remembered the events of his past life. Because he still loved his husband that was in his heart.
Because after struggling, he still chose to accept this lover that had changed beyond recognition.
Zhao Feng wept in grief, teardrops fell against Su Yang’s slightly cold cheeks wetting it, it was the beginning of autumn, the night wind that blew chillingly made a person’s heart cold, he stood in the deep night air, crying and laughing.
“I was wrong, you are not Tao Ziyu, and I am not Jing Cheng, you are my stupid rabbit, my Yan Qing, not anyone else.”
At this time Gao Min came after them with his men, and Lin Mian arrived in time to rush them to the hospital.
=========
Three months later.
In the private apartment on the top floor of the International Trade Building, a boy in a clean white shirt lay on the large dark brown bed, a clear infusion tube stuck in the back of his right hand, his thick eyelashes slightly drooping, peaceful and quiet.
Zhao Feng sat on the edge of the bed and picked up his wrist, his heart slightly trembled for a moment as he picked up a wet towel before patiently and meticulously wiping his long, slender fingers, slowly moving from the crevices to the smooth, rounded tips of his fingers, each gesture tender and loving.
The man who had been rough and cruel had unknowingly learned to treasure as if he was not holding a hand, but the most valuable treasure in his heart. “You left early in your last life, you don’t know what happened afterwards, I know you can’t let go of your mother, what’s the use of searching an international encyclopedia, what happened to them, I’m the only one in the world who knows.”
He said slowly, “After you left, your father resigned from his post and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. He was not a man who liked to play with power and fawn over people. In order to reassure the late emperor and Jing Qian, it was hard for him to play as a heartless man for so long, but in the end, it was for your mother’s sake. However, in his heart, you are just a child born to the woman he loves, and contrariwise, he had no qualms to sacrifice you to preserve the Wu family.”
He could not help but frown at the thought that he and Tao Yunfeng were in fact the same kind of person, and if they were in different places, he would only be crueler than Tao Yunfeng, who had only raised Tao Ziyu as a waste in order to reassure the emperor, but if it were him, he would have cut out the root of trouble that threatened the life of his beloved from the very beginning.
After all, for them, kinship was so illusory that it never mattered whether they had an heir or not.
But the difference between him and Tao Yunfeng was that he would never be subjected to others for decades, and he would bring all those who persecuted him to their knees and begging for mercy, instead of seeking a way out in the cracks, as Tao Yunfeng had done.
These kinds of words he absolutely didn’t dare say so, as to not stain Su Yang’s ears, so without another option, he could only sigh and say,
“Your mother… had too much affection for Tao Yunfeng. You should understand the women of that era; your mother was finally moved, and together with your grandfather, the three of them went to Jiangnan to retire. Later, they gave birth to a boy named Tao Ziyi, and I believe that they still remember you in their hearts.
” Just like me, I continuously think of you.
He stared at Su Yang’s pale lips and rambled in a low voice, “That young fellow Qiao Yang is foolishly causing trouble, I know you have a good heart, but I don’t like people provoking me again and again, if he touches my bottom line again, I can’t guarantee not to touch him.”
After a pause, there was something hopeful in his tone, “If you wake up and tell me yourself, I’ll let him go.” With that, he looked nervously at the sleeping boy on the bed.
After a long time, he curled his lips in self-deprecation and laughed: “I lied to you, I won’t touch him, at worst, we’ll go abroad, I won’t do anything illegal or anything against the rules again, this time it’s true.”
He put the wet towel down and placed Su Yang’s white, plain hand on his own broad palm, slowly counting his fingers in a clasp as the setting sun broke into the room through a gap in the french window curtains, spilling over the two with their fingers tightly interlocked.
“I previously didn’t know, you actually love to sleep so much, who is there in your dreams that you can’t let go of like this? Do you… just not want to see me this much?”
=========
Su Yang has actually always been conscious, but this body is too heavily wounded and temporarily unable to function, so it had to remain dormant, that is, a vegetable in conventional meaning.
He felt devastated just talking about this, he didn’t want to die for real, so he deliberately deviated when aiming at himself, who knew he was not skilled in handling it and shot directly through his lungs and whatever other internal organs. In short, his injuries were very serious, if he hadn’t redeemed a divine item like the Protective Pill in advance, he would have died three months ago.
Su Yang, who created a miracle in the history of medicinal science, was not happy to be lying in bed every day, and was really very anxious, okay?
Firstly, the progress was not yet complete; secondly, Tao Ziyu’s corpse had not yet been destroyed, and at such a time, it was surprising that he could not do anything but wait and listen to Zhao Feng’s ramblings in his ears every day!
Su Yang asked, “Is there any way that I can temporarily resume my actions?”
System: “No.” Su Yang blew up and said angrily, “You, this system is too chicken-hearted, even if the mission is dangerous, it’s okay, still there are no material benefits, and the price of the items is very unreasonable! Unscrupulous businessmen!!!”
The system said indifferently, “You’re the one who moved your hand, why blame me lo?”
Su Yang choked and instantly burst into tears. “Then what should I do, always lying down, how can I do the mission?”
After a moment, the system said, “A friendly gift item [Return at Light Potion] 2its actually Dying Flash Potion the dying flash part in Chinese means like an activity prior to demise like what the effect of the potion does, can forcefully move the body for half an hour, but the side effects are great and may cause the injury to worsen.”
Su Yang: “… As expected, I should not expect anything of you!
Return at light potion or whatever, at first thought when heard, it screamed of a red flag, okay?!
TL note: red flag is an internet slang its like an ominous signal: https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%AB%8Bflag/20318982/4
