Chapter 64 Uncle, I'm scared
chapter 64
Meng Youcheng stood up and turned on the light; the glaring light forced him to squint…
He looked at the boy on the bed. "Let's go, grab your phone, I'll go with you..."
"Uncle, actually I..."
The man squinted. "Stop talking, hurry up, we need to come back to sleep later..."
Jiang Yuming's cheeks flushed slightly. He picked up his phone from the bedside and went to the man's side. "Uncle, I'm so sorry, am I... troubling you too much?"
The man forced his eyes open, patted his head, then picked up the phone from the ground. "Hurry up, don't say any more..."
"Oh……"
As they passed Xia Chunian's room, they both consciously kept quiet and walked over cautiously...
They walked down the stairs, turned on their phone flashlights, and slowly made their way to the restroom...
The road was completely dark, without a single ray of light. It was far from the streetlights, and even the streetlights were completely blocked by the two houses next to it...
Only the moon hung in the sky, but its faint light couldn't illuminate much; the entire road was almost completely dark...
It's inevitable to feel scared...
The two of them walked side by side...
Jiang Yuming was still a little embarrassed. "Uncle, I..."
"I'm already very happy that you can tell me your needs. It means our relationship has taken a step closer, and we'll definitely be able to work together even better in the future. Your path to becoming a Best Actor is very promising!"
Meng Youcheng guessed his prediction and spoke first.
The boy stopped feeling guilty. "You..."
"very nice."
Meng Youcheng squinted. "I've always been fine, thank you. It's just that your impression of that human trafficker is too strong, and you've even misunderstood me, a good person..."
As he spoke, the man placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. "In the future, if anything happens, just tell... Uncle. I will try my best to satisfy you. Don't hide anything. If you're unhappy or scared, you can tell me..."
"I can't always guess what you're thinking, you know?"
Jiang Yuming secretly glanced at him...
"Thank you."
Meng Youcheng unconsciously touched his cheek with one hand...
The boy's face was soft and comfortable, like a child's skin...
As he touched her, he gently pinched her.
"Now you're willing to say thank you? Don't you find it...cheesy?"
Jiang Yuming was getting anxious. "I..."
Meng Youcheng gently pinched his cheek again. "Don't overthink it. I'm just praising you. It means you've made great progress and can say thank you without any problems. Keep it up, young man."
brat...
Why is it so difficult to chat with you?
I also need to consider your feelings...
Sigh, I'm so tired!
Jiang Yuming smiled and said, "Hmm..."
"Stop 'uh-huh,' go to the bathroom, I'll wait for you outside..."
As he spoke, the man patted the boy's head one last time, then let go...
Jiang Yuming walked into the restroom with a puzzled look on his face...
Meng Youcheng found a clean corner, walked over, adjusted his glasses, squatted down, and finally took out his phone, just about to scroll through short videos...
"Uncle...?"
"I'm here, what's wrong?"
"fine."
Just as the man was about to continue watching the video, the boy shouted again.
"Uncle?"
"What's wrong?"
"fine."
Meng Youcheng immediately sensed something was wrong. He thought seriously for a while, "Are you... scared?"
"I……?"
"Tell me the truth."
"Um."
The man sighed. "How about this? I'll tell you a story. Will hearing my voice make you feel better?"
"good……"
Meng Youcheng thought for a while, then asked, "What kind of story do you want to hear?"
"Anything is fine, I love listening to whatever you say."
"Oh well……"
The man thought for a moment and then began, "A long, long time ago, there was a little boy named Xiao Chen. He had a sister who was ten years younger than him. They were very happy at first, but then his parents argued and eventually divorced. He and his sister were awarded to his father..."
"Then Xiao Chen's father, who was an alcoholic, would beat his sister and her brother. At that moment, Xiao Chen made up his mind that when he grew up, he would work hard to earn money and take his sister away from such a family..."
Jiang Yuming: "And then?"
"Then, when Xiao Chen was nineteen, his father passed away. He raised his younger sister alone, attending university while taking care of her. Fortunately, his father died while working on a construction site, and the site paid him over 100,000 yuan in compensation..."
"The brother and sister depended on each other for survival. Although life was hard, they managed to get by..."
Looking at the dark sky, Meng Youcheng continued, "One day, Xiao Chen's sister said to him, 'Brother, one of my classmates' fathers took him on a trip around the world. I'm so envious! When can I travel around the world too?'"
"Xiao Chen told his sister, 'After I finish college and earn some money, I'll take you around the world.' His sister agreed, saying, 'Okay, I'll wait for you, brother...'"
As he spoke, the man's voice choked with emotion.
"Later, Xiao Chen graduated from university and started preparing to earn money. He always believed that traveling around the world was his sister's dream, and he worked hard towards that dream..."
"One day, a kind uncle asked Xiao Chen for money, saying his wife was sick and needed a lot of money..."
"At work, the older man always took care of Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen was new to society and knew nothing, so he lent him money without hesitation. He lent out all the money he had earned, including some of his father's compensation money..."
"Little Chen naively believed that the uncle would pay her back someday. A year later, Little Chen's sister fell seriously ill and needed a lot of money..."
"Xiao Chen went to the uncle to ask for the money back, but the uncle refused, claiming that he hadn't given an IOU..."
"Xiao Chen didn't have the money to save his sister and deeply regretted his decision. He now realizes just how terrifying the wickedness of human nature can be. Looking at his sister lying in the ICU, he was powerless to help. At that moment, he even contemplated suicide..."
"ah……!"
Before Meng Youcheng could finish speaking, a sharp, explosive sound suddenly came from the toilet...
"ah……!"
Before the man could react, there was another sound!
Meng Youcheng was stunned. He quickly got up and went to the toilet. "Jiang Yuming...! What happened?! Are you alright?!"
A loud bang!
The boy pushed the door hard, luckily the man was far enough away from the toilet door, otherwise he would have really been hit!
"Jiang Yuming...!"
Without a word, the boy rushed out, and the moment he saw the man, he jumped up...
Meng Youcheng caught him without hesitation...
Jiang Yuming suddenly clamped his legs around Meng Youcheng's waist, shouting incoherently, "Uncle... Uncle... Uncle...!"
The man looked bewildered, but still hugged him, patting his shoulder somewhat awkwardly...
"What's wrong? Is there... a spider inside?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuming still clung tightly to the man, "Yes, yes...it was such a huge spider! It scared me to death! It was about to crawl down, and I was too scared to move..."
"Then it came to my feet, and it scared me to death...!"
Meng Youcheng said with a hint of exasperation, "Did you wipe your butt?"
"I wiped it, I wiped it, that's how I got out!"
The boy still clung tightly to the man...
Meng Youcheng was speechless...
There were some things he didn't want to remind him of, but this guy clearly had no intention of letting go...
Moreover, he felt he still had to remind him, because it was indeed embarrassing, even though it might offend him...
but……
"that……"
After a long pause, the man finally spoke, "Is your zipper down?"
Jiang Yuming quickly got off the man...
He hurriedly pulled up his pants, saying shyly, "I'm so sorry, Uncle, I didn't mean to. I was just in such a rush, I wiped my butt and ran away, I really..."
The boy's face turned red, and the man patted his head...
Then I went to the sink, scooped up a spoonful of water, and flushed the toilet...
"Let's go..."
Jiang Yuming was still very flustered. He stood there blankly, "Uncle, I..."
The man turned around, walked up to him, and took his hand. "So what if we bumped into each other? I, the person involved, didn't say anything, and I didn't pursue the matter. Besides, what's there to be ashamed of? We're both men, it's not something shameful..."
"Uncle, I..."
"Oh..." Meng Youcheng thought for a moment, then reached out and pinched his cheek. "Don't think about it so much."
"I……"
Jiang Yuming's face immediately turned bright red. "I..."
The man put his hand on his shoulder. "Let's go, it stinks here..."
Only then did the boy take a step...
As Meng Youcheng strolled along casually, he said, "But to be fair, yours is indeed quite large, but compared to mine, it's still far smaller, you know?"
The boy was speechless for a moment, and suddenly didn't know what to say...
Do you want to know what happens next?
"What?"
"It's the story I told you, Xiao Chen's."
"Um."
"In the end, Xiao Chen died."
"Huh? What...?"
Meng Youcheng smiled. "Suicide."
