Second Hospital of Zhonghai, outside the emergency operating room, the quiet corridor was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The white energy-saving lights shone in the dark space during the day, giving people a dull and oppressive feeling.
The operating room lights continued to shine without any movement, as if the person who was pushed in was being judged by God. There was no other way but to wait.
At this time, soft and slow footsteps sounded from the other end. She was still wearing the cute black and white dress, but Tangtang's face was as gloomy as a pencil sketch coming out of a gray drawing board.
Yang Cheng, who had been sitting quietly on the cold bench in front of the operating room, stood up and asked with a heavy face, "Did you call them?"
Tangtang's expression was a little numb, but she still nodded, "Yes, Uncle Yuan, Auntie, and my dad will be here soon."
"What about Zhou Guangnian?"
"He reached some terms and left in advance. We notified him late," Tangtang said faintly.
A hint of killing intent flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes, but he still calmed down first. He supported Tangtang's thin shoulders and sat down on the bench, "You take a rest, you don't look good either."
TangTang lowered her eyes. Her complicated expression was so mature that it was not something a girl of her age should have. It was as if the lively and flamboyant girl had grown ten years older in an instant. She had become somewhat unrecognizable.
After sitting down, Tangtang raised her head and smiled at Yang Cheng, "Uncle, I'm fine, you don't have to blame yourself. If it wasn't for you, we would all have been used by them, or even thrown into the sea to feed the fish."
"I was careless, there's nothing to comfort me about, but I think Yuan Ye will get better," Yang Cheng said.
Speaking of Yuan Ye in the operating room, Tangtang turned her head away, reached out to wipe the corner of her eyes, and said softly, "Uncle, do you remember what I asked you the other day?"
"What?"
When he was with Tangtang, this girl would always talk non-stop. Yang Cheng really couldn't remember what she was talking about.
"I like to play with you and stick to you. I thought that was liking someone and loving someone, but you're always unwilling to accept me and be intimate with me. You called me a little girl and called me a wimpy brat. That's why I asked you the other day, how is a person considered mature … "
Yang Cheng gradually recalled that Tangtang was talking about the day she ran away from home.
"Tell me, if there comes a day when I feel that there are fewer and fewer things to complain about, or when I feel that there is nothing to complain about, then I will have matured …"
Tangtang turned her head. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen, but there was a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth. "I've been thinking about this for the past few days, but I finally understand now, because I feel very satisfied now. I've always had such a person by my side, and even used his life to protect me. What do I have to complain about …"
Yang Cheng quietly looked at Tangtang, who had suddenly changed in front of him. He was a little not used to it, but he still listened carefully.
"Uncle, ever since I was sensible, although my parents were very good to me, they always gave in to me and took care of me. The only one who thought about me was Brother Yuan Ye. When I was young, he accompanied me to summer camp, took me to the suburbs to catch rhinoceros beetles, and took me to the beach to play in the water with a lifebuoy. Whenever other children bullied me, he would help me beat them up. If he couldn't beat them, he would call other people to fight with him. There were a few times when Auntie Yuan spanked him until he couldn't get out of bed.
I used to think that he was like my brother, and everything was natural. If there was good food, I didn't have to fight with him, and he would deliver it to me himself. If there was fun, he would definitely bring me along. Back then, when I wanted to play with cars, he secretly hid it from the adults and used his private money to buy me a Porsche. In the end, he was reprimanded by the adults in his family and was even grounded for a month. Later, when I raced, he would drive behind me with his bodyguards, afraid that something would happen to me, afraid that I would be bullied by bad people.
But I was in high school, and I was busy with my studies. He worked in eSports, so we didn't see each other much. But he would often call me, telling me about the new delicious restaurants, the new good movies, and the new games. He wanted to bring me to eat, watch, and play together.
Sometimes I feel that he's really annoying. He has to bring me along for everything, and I have a lot of things to do. I don't have the time to be with him, so I often rudely ask him to leave me alone on the phone … But he's never angry with me … "
As she spoke, Tangtang's voice trembled slightly. She pursed her lips and smiled, but her tears couldn't help but drip onto the smooth ground, splashing water.
Yang Cheng listened quietly. He always thought that Tangtang's luxurious car was bought for her by her parents. He didn't expect it to be a gift from Yuan Ye. He also didn't expect that Yuan Ye wasn't driving at night to play, but to protect Tangtang.
"Uncle, do you know? That day, you told me that I was just too young and didn't know anything. When I saw you doing something cool and saving me, I would have a blind admiration for you, thinking that that was love. I always thought that you were evading me because you didn't like me. You thought that I was a child and didn't take it seriously, so I didn't believe it. You touched me on the street and hugged me. How could you be so irresponsible? And … I clearly wanted to see you so much, wanted to hug you so much. How could that not be love for you …
But today, when I saw those two bad guys carry you out and say that they were going to feed you to the fishes, I realized that I only felt the pain of losing a family member. It was like losing an elder, but it wasn't the emptiness of losing a lover. Although I don't know what love is, I'm sure that my feelings for you are really not love …
But just now in the car, I saw Big Brother Yuanye in so much pain, and he … he even said those things … I suddenly wanted to swap souls with him. If possible, let me take the bullet and go into the operating room in his place.
But Big Brother Yuanye will definitely scold me, he will definitely hit me. I know that although he never scolds me or hits me, if I get hurt because of him, he will definitely scold me … hit me hard … Sob … Uncle … What should I do … I don't want to be scolded by him, I don't want to be beaten by him. I'm afraid my heart will break, but I really don't want Big Brother Yuanye to leave me! Sob … "
Tangtang turned around and her body fell weakly onto Yang Cheng's body. Her tears instantly soaked the shirt on Yang Cheng's chest. Her sobs sounded abrupt in the corridor, so abrupt that no one could comfort her.
Yang Cheng reached out and patted Tangtang's back. The girl's words were so incoherent in the end, but the sincerity in them made him sweat. Actually, many times, it wasn't that people didn't understand, but that they lacked the right opportunity to break free from their shackles and transform. That happened in the blink of an eye.
Ten minutes later, there was finally the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the quiet corridor. Many people were rushing towards the operating room from afar.
Yang Cheng and Tangtang, who had been waiting for the results, stood up. Tangtang quickly ran towards the group of people and shouted, "Daddy!" She hugged Fang Zhongping tightly as he rushed over.
Among the group of people, Yang Cheng only recognized Tangtang's father, Secretary Fang Zhongping, and Fang Zhongping's bodyguard, Dugu Zui. The other well-dressed men and women were probably the elders of Yuanye's family.
However, one of them, who was dressed in a light coffee-colored dress and had her hair tied up high, had an anxious expression on her face. The moment she saw Yang Chen, she seemed to have seen something that made her extremely shocked. The anxiety on her face gradually dissipated, and she stared straight at Yang Chen.
Yang Cheng also noticed that this woman was paying special attention to him. He could feel an inexplicable aura from this woman. It seemed familiar, yet strange. However, he wasn't narcissistic enough to think that this woman had fallen in love with him. Judging from her appearance and attire, it was very likely that she was Yuanye's mother.
The middle-aged man who looked similar to Yuanye was the Yuan Family's Patriarch, Yuan Hewei. At this moment, seeing that Tangtang was safe and sound, he looked at the operating room light that was still on. He frowned and said, "Tangtang, tell Uncle in detail what happened! Weren't you kidnapped just now? How did you get to the hospital so quickly? How did Little Ye get injured?! "
Fang Zhongping said unhappily, "Yuan Hewei, why are you in such a hurry?! Can't you see that my daughter's face is so pale?! Tell me slowly! "
"Fang Zhongping, Secretary Fang, my son is undergoing surgery and we don't even know if he's alive or dead. How can I not be anxious?!" Yuan Hewei said loudly.
"Dad, let me talk to Uncle Yuan," Tangtang persuaded Fang Zhongping and turned to Yuan Hewei, "Uncle Yuan, this morning, Brother Yuanye came to pick us up …"
TangTang gave a rough summary of what happened this morning. When she talked about how Yang Chen single-handedly dealt with all the enemies, the group of people present then looked at this seemingly ordinary man who had never made a sound. Fang Zhongping and Dugu Zui already knew about Yang Cheng and even threatened Yang Cheng back then. They didn't expect Yang Cheng to turn the situation around by himself today. They couldn't help but have a strange expression on their faces.
"Thank you for saving my son and Tangtang." The lady who had been staring at Yang Cheng walked up and extended her hand to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng hesitated for a moment and shook her hand. It felt warm and soft, "You're welcome. Because of my negligence, he's still in the emergency room. He's not in a good condition."
"Tangtang called you uncle. May I know your name …" The lady stared into Yang Cheng's eyes and asked in a seemingly casual manner.
"Yang Cheng."
The lady's body trembled slightly. Her facial expression was a little stiff, but she still pursed her lips and smiled, "Hello, Yang Cheng. I'm Yang Jieyu, Yuan Ye's mother."
Yuan Hewei, who had been restless, saw his wife's strange behavior. He carefully looked at Yang Cheng and finally felt a trace of unnaturalness. He exchanged glances with Yang Jieyu and the two of them quietly exchanged glances.
"Yang Cheng, I really have to thank you. Although Xiao Ye is still in surgery, it's a great thing for our Yuan family and Fang family that you could bring them out. We didn't expect Zhou Guangnian and Xu Zhihong to join hands. Not only did we fall into their trap, we were also powerless to fight back. This is great, although Zhou Guangnian took advantage of them, they haven't reaped the greatest benefits yet. We can face them head-on! "Yuan Hewei similarly walked forward, and shook hands with Yang Chen with gratitude in his eyes.
Yang Cheng said, "No matter what you want to do, wait until Yuan Ye's surgery is over first."
"That's right. I'll immediately arrange for people to protect the hospital. Tangtang, go to dad's place first. You're tired enough. Let Uncle Dugu send you back," Fang Zhongping said.
"No, I want to wait for Brother Yuan Ye to come out," Tangtang shook her head firmly.
"Let Tangtang stay here!" Yang Jieyu said faintly. As a mother, she seemed to be more composed than anyone else.
Hearing Yang Jieyu's words, Fang Zhongping didn't say anything else and nodded in tacit agreement.
At this moment, the lights in the surgery room finally went off. The two doors were pushed open by the nurses from the inside …
