ARWYM 1
Chapter 1: Rebirth
kiwii: I'll be using ge/gege term for brother. In case it's someone's first time reading a Chinese novel, ๅฅgฤ means brother in Chinese, used to refer elder brother.
"In the next life, it will be you who will chase me... Okay, I'm very… cough, easy to chase... you, you can catch me as soon as you chase." The breath of the person in his arms became weaker and weaker, and the bright red blood stained his whole body, but he didn't seem to feel the pain, and the corners of his mouth still tried to smile, but the paler lips showed that his vitality was slowly draining.
Yu Ling's eyes were scarlet, as if he were afraid that he would disappear, and he wanted to hug him tightly, but he was also afraid that he would hurt the person in his arms, so he could only hug him restrainedly. Tears fell down the corners of his eyes, and drop by drop on the ground, he heard himself say, "...Okay."
The man in his arms suddenly smiled; the smile was pure and bright, like a child who got candy. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears for the person in his heart, but found that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.
But he is still very satisfied; he can lie in the arms of his little prince, and now his little prince is full of eyes on him, which he never dared to dream of before, even though he knew it was short, but for him it was enough...
However, the little prince in his eyes is flamboyant and full of vitality, but it should not be like this now; the bright eyes have become dim, and the face is desperate and painful.
"Cough..." With his uncontrollable coughing, he heard a 'cluck' sound in his throat. He thought that his voice must be very ugly, but he also knew that if he didn't say it now, he would have no chance…
He wanted to talk to his little prince for a while.
"You...don't cry; once you cry...my heart hurts; it hurts more than the wound on my body..." The man's eyes showed a bit of pleading: "Don't cry... okay?"
Yu Ling couldn't say anything anymore. He hugged the man and nodded vigorously. He kept repeating in his heart, I won't cry, I won't cry, please don't leave me, okay… Fu Yi…
I really only have you...
It may be that he had lived so smoothly in the first half of his life that even God couldn't stand it anymore. Even though he had lost everything now, he still wanted to take his last precious person away from him.
Finally, Fu Yi was breathless in his arms…
–
In a villa, a delicate-looking boy was lying on the bed, the sun shining on his delicate face, looking like an elf who knew nothing about the world.
But in the next second, the little elf didn't know what he dreamed of; his brows suddenly frowned, and then cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
His slender and beautiful fingers gripped the quilt tightly, as if he were experiencing something painful.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. His eyes were scarlet and filled with pain. His gaze fell on a familiar yet unfamiliar room, with confusion and disbelief in his eyes.
Isn't this... the place where he used to live? Since the accident at home, he has never had a chance to come back here.
Is this a dream? Yes, otherwise why would he appear here?
There was a bit of nostalgia in Yu Ling's eyes. He looked around and tried hard to see every detail of the room. He slowly got out of bed and stood on the carpet with bare feet. His movements were light and slow, as if he were afraid of breaking this beautiful dream.
"Lingling, are you awake? It's time to get up and eat." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a familiar and gentle voice fell into Yu Ling's ears.
Yu Ling's pupils tightened; it was his mother's voice...
He wanted to take a look, but he was afraid that what he would see was the endless darkness, so he didn't dare to move anymore and just stared blankly at the door.
Mama Yu knocked on the door outside for a while but heard no sound inside. Her pretty brows frowned. Could something be wrong?
She pursed her lips, grabbed the handle, twisted, and then pushed open the door.
Seeing Yu Ling standing in the middle of the room, she frowned and complained softly, "Mom knocked on the door; why didn't you say anything? You scared me to death…"
Yu Ling stared blankly at the lively mother with a contented smile on his lips. This dream is so good...he doesn't want to wake up.
"Still smiling?" Mama Yu looked at Yu Ling reproachfully and urged, "Hurry up and come eat the food you've been waiting for—why are you crying?!"
She saw one drop after another of tears running down Yu Ling's cheeks; the corner of his mouth was still smiling, but his expression seemed to be enduring something painful.
Mama Yu was terrified, hurried over to hold his face to wipe his tears, and asked distressingly, "Why is Lingling crying? Come on, tell mom who bullied you, I will let your father and brother avenge you!"
The warm touch on his face was so real. Meeting his mother's tender and caring eyes, Yu Ling finally couldn't control his tears, trembling all over like a wronged child, "Mom..."
I miss you...
I miss you so much…
Yu Ling has been crying since the beginning, and he didn't say anything when asked, so it was useless to coax him. He just stared at her blindly and shed tears. Mama Yu didn't know what to do, so she hurriedly phoned her husband and son, "Come back soon; something happened to Lingling!"
There was turmoil.
Papa Yu and Elder Brother Yu both came back from work, and their neatly organised suits were hanging on their bodies in a mess, but they couldn't take care of their appearance anymore because something happened to the Yu family's baby.
When Yu Ling saw his father and elder brother again, his crow-feather eyelashes trembled, and he cried even more fiercely, from shedding tears in silence at the beginning to sobbing softly and finally crying loudly...
He seemed to be holding back for a long time, as if he were venting the pain in his heart in this way…
"Lingling... what's the matter?" Elder Brother Yu looked at Yu Ling carefully; he had never seen Yu Ling cry like this, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
The same was true for Papa Yu. The two men who are feared in the workplace were like helpless children at this moment. Looking at Yu Ling, they felt distressed but didn't know what to do.
Mama Yu frowned and looked at Yu Ling distressingly, "I don't know what's wrong with Lingling; it's been like this since just now. Xiao Luo, Lingling listens to you the most, so please coax him."
Yu Luo is Elder Brother Yu; he approached, touched Yu Ling's head, and asked in a gentle voice, "What's wrong, Lingling? Can you tell Gege?"
"Ge..." Yu Ling cried even more fiercely, hugging Yu Luo and feeling the real warmth of his body. He thought this dream was too real. How good would it be if he never woke up for the rest of his life?
But, after all, he was about to wake up. Yu Ling thought so, and his hands clutched harder. Yu Luo could even feel the pain of being tightened. It was hard to imagine that Yu Ling, who was usually thin and weak, would have such great strength.
Yu Luo didn't know what to do, so he looked to his parents for help.
Papa Yu looked concerned; thinking that his son loved painting the most, he coaxed, "Lingling, don't cry; be careful that your eyes are swollen from crying, and you won't be able to paint for a few days."
Originally, Papa Yu thought that Yu Ling would at least stop crying, but Yu Ling's pupils constricted suddenly, as if hearing something terrible, and he let go of Yu Luo, shaking his head, "No, I...I don't want to paint anymore, I don't... I don't..."
Please don't leave me, okay…
Yu Ling has loved painting since he was a child. He has an obsession with painting that doesn't match his age. Even at the age of seven or eight, when he should be playing and growing, he could stay in the studio for an entire afternoon.
But Yu Ling, who is so obsessed with painting, suddenly said that he would never paint again…
The Yu family members looked at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other's eyes.
–
At the end of his crying, Yu Ling finally realised that something was wrong; this dream was too real. He lowered his head and rummaged through the bed in a panic.
Seeing this, Mama Yu quickly asked, "What's the matter? What is Lingling looking for? Mom will help you find it."
"Mobile phone... my mobile phone..." Yu Ling didn't care about messing up the bed himself; he seemed to have caught the only hope, and he searched indiscriminately.
In this way, Yu Luo, Papa Yu, and Mama Yu lowered their heads to look for the mobile phone everywhere, and finally Papa Yu found Yu Ling's mobile phone under the pillow, and hurriedly gave it to him, "The mobile phone is here."
Yu Ling grasped the phone tightly, pressed the power button with trembling fingers, and there was bright writing on the phone: June 5, 2021...
This was five years ago…
Yu Ling bit his lip hard, feeling the pain on it, which told him that everything was real, real family, and nothing happened...
He went back to five years ago...
For him, it was better than a dream.
–
The members of the Yu family were all surprised. Yu Ling clearly cried like that before, but after looking at the phone, he suddenly calmed down and obediently went downstairs to eat.
The food had been left for so long, and it was a bit cold. Mama Yu was afraid that he would have a stomach ache after eating it, "I'll take it back and ask Auntie to reheat it..."
"No, I... I'm hungry." Yu Ling quickly stuffed a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth; the familiar taste in his mouth made him inexplicably relieved.
"Hey, this..." The son finally stopped crying, and Mama Yu didn't dare stop him. She said to Papa Yu, "Hongyuan, go and pour Lingling a cup of hot water."
"Oh, okay, okay." Yu Hongyuan quickly took Yu Ling's glass and ran to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water.
"Come on, Lingling, drink some hot water." Yu Hongyuan put the cup in front of Yu Ling.
His cup is very unique—not like a cup but like a work of art. He painted it himself. Since that incident, he has never touched this cup again…
He didn't want his family to notice that something was wrong with him. Yu Ling suppressed the emotion in his eyes and took a small sip of water while holding the cup.
Even though Yu Ling was acting calm now, the Yu family was still not at ease. Yu Hongyuan winked at Yu Luo, and Yu Luo immediately understood what he meant, gave Yu Ling a worried look, and went outside the door.
Yu Luo went all the way to the corner of the garden before turning on his phone and dialling his secretary's number, "Help me find out who Lingling has been in contact with recently."
The secretary has been by Yu Luo's side for five or six years, and he is very clear about Yu Ling's position in his heart. After hanging up the phone, he immediately put aside other work and investigated Yu Ling's affairs first.
After Yu Luo made the arrangement, he was about to go back to see Yu Ling again when his phone vibrated again. It was Fu Yi's call.
Thank you for the chapter!
