Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Chapter 577 A Solo Journey!

Ye Youxuan stood not far from the shadowy figure, head down, her whole body slumped.

"But I'm surrounded by surveillance cameras, surrounded by... his people. No one can help me... just like the streets back then... just like Adumus back then... do you know how desperate I was? But I... but I still have to act calm, act like I'm not so sad..."

Finally, the dark figure under the big tree slowly emerged.

That was someone Liu Weicheng had never met before.

A handsome man in a dark green robe, dressed in ancient style, came into view. He quickly walked up to Ye Youxuan and embraced him.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Xuan'er... I'm so sorry for leaving you all alone..."

Ye Youxuan buried her head in Mo Yan's arms. Even though she couldn't feel his usual warmth, her heart felt at peace. The grievances and longing of the past few days burst forth at this moment...

"Mo Yan... I miss you so much..."

Nestled in Mo Yan's arms, Ye Youxuan mumbled aggrievedly.

"After you left, everyone bullied me and stopped loving me... I'm so sad. Please don't go. Can you just stay with me? I'm so sad and scared all by myself... You can't bear to see them bullying me, right...? Or you can take me with you... Please... don't leave me... don't... leave me all alone..."

Mo Yan knew, of course, how much Ye Youxuan missed him, just as she couldn't let go of him. After being forcibly separated from her body by the Heavenly Dao, she disregarded her dissipating form and forced her way back to Ye Youxuan's side. If it weren't for the help of those others, she might not even be here now...

Sometimes, Mo Yan even felt that this might be a punishment from heaven, allowing him to witness Ye Youxuan's suffering, yet being powerless to do anything but watch him break down... watch him fall into a coma and be forcibly awakened... watch him grow thinner day by day, while he himself was completely helpless...

He watched as the people around him gradually developed wicked thoughts and disgusted feelings towards Ye Youxuan, but he could only watch helplessly...

Ye Youxuan was too handsome and too outstanding. When they were around, they could suppress his attraction to others. Besides, at that time, Ye Youxuan's soul and body were not fully integrated, making him even more attractive to evil spirits... But now... Ye Youxuan is like a snow lotus growing on a cliff. Even though it's dangerous, many people still rush to possess him, even if they don't have the ability, it doesn't stop them from fantasizing...

This is another reason why Mo Yan entrusted Ye Youxuan to Feng Yu'an. He is a venomous snake coiled on a cliff face; with him around, at least those with delusions will feel fear...

Ye Youxuan is indeed very powerful. Adumus, the Ye family, and the Fulu family they founded could all be Ye Youxuan's backers, but he only has one person...

A lone boat...can hardly travel far!

Although he had many friends by his side, Mo Yan did not trust them.

Qin Xiaoci did indeed have someone he liked, but it was precisely because of this that his promise to Ah Huan made him unable to let go of Ye Youxuan. His protection of Ye Youxuan became an obsession, making him feel safe only when Ye Youxuan was by his side and he was watching over her at all times. Perhaps things would have been better when Ah Huan was alive, but Ah Huan is dead, and that promise has turned Ye Youxuan into another Ah Huan in a way...

Du Ruoqing's feelings were more complex and unfathomable than they imagined. Whether it was love... or friendship... perhaps even he himself didn't understand! And with time, even the initial friendship could change...

Fu Huainan was the one Mo Yan trusted the most, but also the one she worried about the most. He was too innocent, his family protected him too well, and Ye Youxuan protected him very well at school. He knew about intricacies, but he didn't know how to use them...

Fu Huainan treated Ye Youxuan as his boss and family, but he was too naive, like a clingy golden retriever. He couldn't protect Ye Youxuan from a pack of wolves...

Looking at everything around him changing, Mo Yan suddenly felt a pang of regret. He shouldn't have left Ye Youxuan here, in this world without them...

But... it's too late to regret it...

What's done is done, and it can't be changed!

Mo Yan concealed the emotions in his eyes and gently stroked Ye Youxuan's long hair.

"You know perfectly well that I've been protecting you all along, yet you still lied to me..."

Mo Yan gently flicked Ye Youxuan's nose.

"Everyone loves you, cares about you, and cherishes you. It's just that Xuan'er, you've closed yourself off. You can't see the outside world; your world only contains us. That's why you can't see the kindness others show you. Look at Dr. Liu, look at the three Zhou brothers, look at Aunt Na and Uncle Zhou... Everyone cares about you... Feng Yu'an's love is too extreme, so you're afraid. But Xuan'er, isn't our love for you also a kind of extreme? We presumptuously chose what we thought was good for you, never caring about your feelings. Isn't that also a kind of extreme? We're even worse than him! You're just prejudiced because you met us first, which is why you can't accept Feng Yu'an and the others' love..."

Mo Yan grabbed Ye Youxuan's arms, forcing him to look directly into her eyes.

"Xuan'er, we've left your life. Now... you are you! I am me! No longer 'us'... On the rest of the journey, there are only you and them, not 'us.' You must try to learn to accept it! Learn to let go! Learn to be yourself again!!! You've only lived half your life; don't let the rest of your time be spent in sorrow and pain, because that will make time move even slower..."

Mo Yan smiled and pinched Ye Youxuan's cheek.

"I know it's impossible for you to forget us, you can't forget! Neither can we! But... please put yourself first in the rest of your life, okay? I promise you, we'll be there waiting for you to come home!"
