Winter Blazing Wild

Hearing this, Yu Tang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, "Xu Li's master...isn't he your master?"

"Of course not," Han Cheng smiled. "We had the same master, but I was the only one who persisted in painting. Zhou Shenye started racing, and Xu Li also became someone else's apprentice early on. I neglected my painting skills for a while, and only picked them up again in the last two years."

Yu Tang became increasingly nervous, a strong premonition welling up in his heart, "Who did she choose as her master later?"

Han Cheng shook his head. "We don't know. It's a secret. This master's identity is special and can't be revealed to the public. Xu Li has been in seclusion for many years, and we don't know what she has learned. If you want the answer, you can only ask her."

"Thank you for bothering me today."

Yu Tang said nothing more and turned away in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.

Han Cheng was left standing there, confused.

What's going on? It seems like every time I leave Yuncheng and come back, there are earth-shaking changes here. Last time I came back, Yu Tang appeared, and this time, what happened is still related to Yu Tang...

Han Cheng fell into deep thought.

After leaving the studio, Yu Tang felt even more complicated. He didn't dare to think about it anymore and was even more afraid that the facts would be the same as he had guessed. That would be too absurd.

She called Xu Li first, but no one answered the phone. She wondered where this guy had gone crazy again.

But this matter can't wait, I have to get an answer urgently.

After thinking about it, I decided to call Zhou Shenye again.

This time he picked up the phone quickly, but his voice sounded even heavier than Yu Tang's.

"Hey……"

The atmosphere on the other end of the phone was eerily quiet, and Yu Tang swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Changed the question to, "Where are you? What happened?"

Yu Tang heard a soft sigh. Zhou Shenye was obviously suppressing his emotions. "At the hospital, my mother has been notified of her critical illness."

Yu Tang's vision went dark, and he almost lost his balance. He tightened his grip on the phone and said, "I'll be right there."

"Yeah." Zhou Shenye didn't say anything else.

The two hung up the phone tacitly.

At this moment, he really needed Yu Tang's company, but deep down he didn't want to trouble her.

If this call had not come, Zhou Shenye would never have taken the initiative to speak.

At least I have to wait until my emotions are calm before telling Yu Tang about this.

"Master, please hurry up."

Yu Tang, sitting in the car, was extremely anxious. Fortunately, he did not drive here by himself today, otherwise he might not be able to control himself at this moment.

The taxi driver risked speeding and finally got Yu Tang to the hospital safely.

Yu Tang scanned the code to pay and transferred an extra hundred. "Thank you, Master."

He opened the door and got out of the car, without wasting a second, and rushed directly to the psychiatric inpatient department upstairs.

The whole floor was silent, a suffocating silence.

Yu Tang walked to the front of the ward and looked inside through the glass. Only the machines were still humming, and the bed in the ward was already empty.

Seeing this scene, Yu Tang already had a premonition that things were not going well.

After turning a corner, I saw Zhou Shenye at the window at the stairs.

He stood against the wall, half of his body hidden in the shadows.

The whole person is so fragile that it seems like it will break with the slightest touch.

Yu Tang didn't even dare to breathe hard and walked over with light steps.

"I'm late."

Standing in front of Zhou Shenye, Yu Tang only said these four words.

Zhou Shenye looked up at her, his eyes were red, as if he had been crying.

Yu Tang felt a pang of pain in his chest, and all the words of comfort were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Instead, Zhou Shenye walked towards her, "Sister."

The two words he called out with all his might still carried with them a deep sense of powerlessness.

Yu Tang's heart ached even more.

Reaching out and hugging him, "I'm here."

Zhou Shenye no longer had the strength to stand, and almost his entire body leaned on Yu Tang.

Although he didn't say anything, Yu Tang could feel that his heart was already bleeding beneath his slightly trembling body.

"I'm here." Yu Tang repeated these two words again.

My shoulders suddenly felt cold, as if Zhou Shenye's tears were dripping down.

"Why was it so sudden? Why did something happen when I finally figured it out and was about to take that step? It's my fault, it's all my fault."

Zhou Shenye was extremely annoyed, and he laughed out of hatred and started shaking again.

Having not been to this inpatient department for so many years, this time, with Yu Tang's comfort and persuasion, Zhou Shenye finally decided to come and see his mother and try to get out of the haze in his heart.

But before he could come up, he received a notice that his mother was critically ill.

Everything was so coincidental that it seemed like someone had arranged it on purpose.

"It's all my fault. If it had been one day earlier, even one day..."

Zhou Shenye hugged Yu Tang tightly, burying his head in her neck. At this moment, he was like a poor abandoned puppy, trying desperately to grab everything around him and absorb a tiny bit of warmth.

Without this little bit of warmth, he really wouldn't be able to hold on.

Yu Tang's heart ached as if being tugged at. She could only respond forcefully to Zhou Shenye and hug him tightly. "This isn't your fault. You've done very well. We couldn't have guessed that this accident would happen. Your mother certainly wouldn't want you to be trapped in self-blame and pain. She waited for you for so long, and only when you were finally willing to move on did she feel at ease to leave. You can't make her sad anymore."

"Really? Can Mom really forgive me?"

"No," Yu Tang shook her head. "Mom has never blamed you because she knows it's not your fault. All she wants is for you to be happy."

Zhou Shenye's emotions gradually calmed down, and his trembling body finally calmed down.

People who seem to have very open and expressive emotions on a daily basis can actually be very patient at critical moments.

What Yu Tang feared most was his forbearance.

Only by releasing can you save yourself. The deeper you endure, the harder it is to get out.

But after a while, the outside of the ward became increasingly quiet, so quiet that it was frightening.

Zhou Shenye finally let go of Yu Tang. Except for a slight blush under his eyes, his expression had returned to normal.

It looked as if nothing had happened.

Yu Tang looked at him, pursed her red lips, had a lot to say, but couldn't utter a single word.

At this time, Mr. Su came.

At first, he walked very slowly, but when he saw Yu Tang was there, his eyes lit up and he started walking towards him.

He also didn't know how to get along with his son Zhou Shenye, and it would always be better with Yu Tang around.

"I just finished all the paperwork. The hospital car will take Xiao Shu away later..."

Xiao Shu is Zhou Shenye’s mother. The so-called sending away means sending her directly to the funeral home.

What a cruel word.

Yu Tang took a deep breath and felt even more upset.

Zhou Shenye's pupils shrank a little bit, and he looked up at President Su, "From now on, you are finally free."

Mr. Su was stunned, and his expression changed from stiff to furious in just one second.

Snapped!

Before he could speak, Zhou Shenye punched him directly in the face.
