Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Chapter 579: One Person’s Journey! 43

When Mo Yan vanished right before their eyes, Liu Weicheng and the others' pupils dilated, their bodies trembled, and they were covered in sweat. It took them a long time to react.

Liu Weicheng, being older and more experienced, reacted faster than the others. After taking a deep breath, he slowly walked to Ye Youxuan's side...

Ye Youxuan noticed someone approaching her. She stood there stunned for a long time before slowly turning her stiff neck, her eyes blankly fixed on Liu Weicheng.

"...He's gone, and now I'm all alone again..."

After saying this, Ye Youxuan slowly walked to the dining table, looked at the large table of dishes that Mo Yan had prepared for her, and began to eat them bite by bite.

Liu Weicheng quietly stayed with Ye Youxuan, while the three Zhou brothers stood at the door with complicated expressions.

Today's events were too unbelievable for them to process in a short time.

A devastated Ye Youxuan, the sudden appearance of a person, Ye Youxuan obediently following that person, the awkward atmosphere between them, that gentle kiss, Ye Youxuan's lack of resistance, the man disappearing...

Everything was deeply etched in the hearts of the three brothers, and the memories lingered for a long time...

The three brothers lay on the bed in a daze, then drifted off to sleep, only to wake up in the morning with a start...

Everything was so natural, yet unbelievable...

On the second and third days, they were still completely bewildered.

After venting her frustrations that day, Ye Youxuan felt much better, but afterwards, she began to wither away, like a flower without nourishment—blooming, yet devoid of vitality...

Liu Weicheng saw this and was anxious.

Ye Youxuan stopped going out and often stayed alone in his study, writing and drawing. He also ate less, and in just a few days, the weight he had painstakingly gained was gone again.

Liu Weicheng stood at the door with the chicken soup that Zhou Xiaowen had cooked for Ye Youxuan. He looked at Ye Youxuan, who was still drawing, and at her hands that were so white that you could clearly see the veins. He lowered his head sadly, composed himself, and then went inside.

Ye Youxuan thought it was Zhou Jinyan who had come to deliver food, and said without turning her head.

"Brother Jinyan, let's take the food back! I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat anything..."

"It's not Jin Yan, it's me!"

Ye Youxuan stopped painting when she heard the sound, turned around to look at Liu Weicheng, and smiled slightly.

"Uncle Liu, you're here! I haven't seen you for several days. Where have you been these past few days?"

Liu Weicheng placed the chicken soup on the table, ladled out a small bowl, and handed it to Ye Youxuan.

"This isn't a meal, just a little soup. Have some! Your Uncle Zhou made it for you. This chicken belongs to your eldest uncle's family! It's been several years. They say the soup made from a chicken like this is very fragrant and nourishing... Even if you can't drink much, just a few sips will do. Don't let their kindness go to waste..."

Ye Youxuan stared silently at the chicken soup in Liu Weicheng's hand, but finally reached out and took the bowl, sipping it slowly.

Seeing that Ye Youxuan had drunk the chicken soup, Liu Weicheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and then answered Ye Youxuan's question.

“I went to the city to visit an old friend of mine; he…is dying.”

Seeing Ye Youxuan looking at him, Liu Weicheng slowly sat down.

"Not long ago... his only son... attempted suicide because of school bullying... and ultimately couldn't be saved. At the time, he was performing surgery on another patient, so he didn't even get to see his son one last time... His wife, unable to accept their son's death, also chose to jump off a building and commit suicide... Overnight, he almost lost his family... Now he's in the hospital, like a walking corpse, without the will to live... School bullying destroyed a family..."

Liu Weicheng abhorred school bullying, but... his power was too small, and he couldn't do much.

Ye Youxuan looked at the person in front of her with a face full of sorrow and lowered her eyes.

“I didn’t understand what kind of presence you were to the students before, but now… I think I understand a little. In this era where the power of the school is greater than that of the students, you are the only student council president who has absolute power and stands on the side of the students. To them… you are a light, a path, a way to an ordinary world without school bullying… everything that has happened to you is not a stain on your record, every scar… is a battle record.”

Ye Youxuan stirred the soup in his bowl, his eyelids drooping, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Xiao Xuan... just like he said, you've shut yourself off, so you can't see the people around you. Actually, there are many people behind you who need your guidance. Every step you take forward gives them a little more hope for survival. You are their light... even if you don't know it, you are silently illuminating their path forward. So... you must be strong. Live... only then will those people have the courage to resist!"

Liu Weicheng slowly walked up to Ye Youxuan, squatted down in front of her, and gently took Ye Youxuan's hand in his large palm.

“Xiao Xuan... I know that everything that has happened over the years is hard for you to accept, and Lin Moyan’s departure has made you lose hope in life. But Xiao Xuan, Lin Moyan is the light that guides you forward, and you are also the light that guides others forward!”

Ye Youxuan blinked and sighed.

"Light?! But I..."

I don't want to be anyone's light! That's too tiring!

But seeing the hope in Liu Weicheng's eyes, Ye Youxuan couldn't bring herself to say the rest of her words.

Ye Youxuan gave a bitter smile and closed his eyes.

"Don't worry! I'll be fine! I... Adumus's companions are still waiting for me to go back together! You're right... it's always better to keep moving forward."

Ye Youxuan stood up, walked to the art cabinet, found a painting, and looked at it for a long time before slowly turning around to look at Liu Weicheng.

“Uncle Liu, you’ve been here too long. It’s time to go back. Don’t worry about me here... Aunt Na and Uncle Zhou are here, and besides... the people they’ve arranged are around too. So... go back! They need you more there!”

Liu Weicheng frowned

"I......"

"I know what you're worried about, but it's okay, I still have more than ten years! Everything will be fine... I need to ask you for a favor!"
