In the end, Tan Yubai carried Yu Meng and left for a safe place.
Watching this, Tan Yubai felt that the sky and the earth had quieted down.
When the girl he had been looking forward to really appeared by his side, his happiness only lasted for a few seconds before it was replaced by worry and fear.
"Ugh …" When she woke up, she saw the direction Tan Yubai was heading in. Her eyes lit up as she hurriedly got up and opened her arms to hug him.
However, Tan Yubai wasn't as gentle as before. He coldly raised his hand and pressed it on Yu Meng's forehead, and then mercilessly pushed her back.
He pressed it back onto the sofa.
"I want a hug!" Yu Meng pursed her lips, "He came all the way here to see you, but you didn't even give him a hug!"
Tan Yubai said in a cold voice, "Tomorrow, I will send you to the embassy. You should return to your country as soon as possible."
Yu Meng was extremely stubborn. She turned her head to the side and said, "I don't want to!"
Tan Yubai was enraged, the space between his brows deeply wrinkled, and his voice also became deeper.
"It's not up to you to mess around."
Then he stood up and walked to the door.
"Tan Yubai!" Yu Meng shouted loudly. She was so angry that she had thought about his reaction after seeing her for a hundred times. She thought that he would definitely rub her head, kiss her forehead, and then hug her without letting go. However, reality mercilessly slapped Yu Meng in the face!
Yu Meng was extremely furious. When Tan Yubai really stopped and turned around, he looked at her indifferently. That familiar profound gaze was like cold water, extinguishing the fire in her heart.
The only thing left was to feel wronged.
Before she could finish, Yu Meng's eyes turned red and her shoulders started heaving. She sniffed and tears started streaming down her face.
Tan Yubai was startled.
After a while, he sighed and walked over to Yu Meng.
He leaned over and gently held her in his arms, stroking her hair as he had so many times in the past, patiently comforting her.
This action only made Yu Meng cry even more.
Tan Yubai had no choice but to pat Yu Meng's back.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so fierce."
Yu Meng pounded his shoulder with her fist. "You're annoying!"
Tan Yubai slowly let go of Yu Meng, both hands holding her shoulders. He looked at her indifferently, and said: "Then, can I say it in a gentle tone?"
Tan Yubai's voice was soft and tender, making people's hearts itch.
However, the words that came out were extremely infuriating.
"I'll take you to the embassy tonight."
"..." Yu Meng froze for a few seconds, her face turning purple.
"Tan Yubai, you big scoundrel!" She screamed until her throat was hoarse, then hugged her knees, lowered her head, and cried out, "You only know how to bully me! "You only know how to bully me..."
Tan Yubai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. God knows, he didn't bully Yu Meng.
He walked over and hugged her again, but this time he was pushed away by Yu Meng.
"You hate me so much that if you don't want to see me, then don't touch me!" Yu Meng raised her head and glared at him with her red and swollen eyes. "Why are you forcing yourself to hug me?"
Tan Yubai was amused by Yu Meng again.
"I'm angry! You can still laugh! " Yu Mengqi's words were unclear.
"Alright, alright." Tan Yubai sat beside Yu Meng and helped her straighten her messy hair.
"I don't hate you." He said, "If I hated you, I'd kill you."
"Then why don't you let me stay by your side?" Yu Meng still felt wronged.
"You're so stupid." Tan Yubai sighed, "Don't you know how dangerous this place is? With your ability to survive, you won't live past three days. "
"Humph!" Yu MengAo coldly snorted, "I've been here in Sri Lanka for over half a month!"
Tan Yubai opened his eyes wide in shock.
"You have been in the Sri Lanka for so many days?"
"Of course!" Yu Meng was pleased with herself for a second. In the next second, she could smell the restless air in the air. As expected … The moment she looked at Tan Yubai, she was staring so hard that she seemed to have been frozen in place.
"You were alone in such a dangerous place for so many days and you still want to reason with me?!" Tan Yubai's voice was low and it was filled with anger that could not be dispelled. "Do you know how dangerous that is?! Where's Uncle Yu?! He doesn't care about you? Are we just going to let you mess around like this?! "
Yu Meng was shocked by Tan Yubai's sudden scolding. Only after a long time did he manage to react.
"He …" Yu Meng said in a low voice, "He can't even control his own wife, so how can he control me?"
Tan Yubai also knew about Yu Meng's mother coming to the Sri Lanka. At that time, he was still in contact with the, but ever since the LTTE was stationed in the city, all communication was cut off.
Tan Yubai was also trying to find the location of Yu Meng's mother, but he still couldn't find any clues.
No one had ever heard of a Chinese called Wen Mei.
"But this place is too dangerous."
Yu Meng hurriedly replied, "I know it's dangerous, but what will I do if something happens to you?"
Tan Yubai's gaze was gentle as he gently helped Yu Meng to tie her hair behind her head.
"You still have your father." Tan Yubai looked at Yu Meng, "But if something happens to you, I won't have anything else."
Yu Meng felt that those were the best words she had ever heard in her entire life.
He said, "You're the only one I have, stupid."
Yu Meng blushed and continued to look at him pitifully.
"But I found you with great difficulty." Yu Meng pulled at the corner of Tan Yubai's clothes, "Why don't you come back with me?"
It was because of Yu Meng that Tan Yubai could not harden his heart.
When he had initially decided to leave the country to come to Sri Lanka, he had never planned to return alive. When he had left, he had also hesitated for a very long time due to Yu Meng.
He knew that the longer he lived, the more he would be unable to part with her. And there were many things that he had to do.
Now he had to force himself to send her home.
"No." Tan Yubai sighed and pushed away Yu Meng's hand: "You go back by yourself."
His tone was very certain, and there was no room for discussion.
Yu Meng's eyes turned red again.
"You should rest. I'll go sit outside for a while."
This time, Tan Yubai left resolutely. Not caring about the sobbing dreams behind him, he knew that if he were to soften his heart now, the one who would regret so much in the future would be him.
The two were separated by a door, but it was as if they were separated by thousands of mountains.
Yu Meng couldn't bear it, because it took her a great deal of effort to break through all the obstacles and arrive at his side. However, she soon discovered that there was still one more mountain to climb.
That mountain was in Tan Yubai's heart.
From when he left without saying a word, to when he eavesdropped his father talking on the phone in the study room, he finally knew that Tan Yubai had come to Sri Lanka.
Then, she checked the related information on the internet before realizing how chaotic this place was.
She changed from her initial anger to worry, to her determination to come here and find him.
Only he himself knew what had happened to her during this period of time.
It was like being skinned alive.
She cried alone in her room. When she had cried enough, she sneaked a peek at Tan Yubai through the gap in the door.
He smoked a cigarette. His eyes were misty and wet in the dark night, and the hair on his forehead hung down. She had been looking at him for hours before she began to study him.
His beard was already so fine that it would hurt anyone who saw it. It made him look somewhat miserable and decadent.
His entire being seemed to have aged a lot.
There were already a lot of cigarette butts on the table. It seemed like he had smoked quite a bit before he woke up.
Yu Meng sighed in her heart. She then closed the door and quietly walked to the window.
This was the first floor, and the distance between the window and the ground wasn't too high. She clenched her teeth and climbed out of the window.
However, she did not want to go back. She did not want to go back to her empty house and stare into the eyes of that old man Yu Zheng.
She could go to her mother.
At least now that she knew Tan Yubai was fine, she could feel a lot more at ease.
This was the first time she truly took the initiative to leave Tan Yubai.
But it was to stay with him.
In order to find her mother's whereabouts, Yu Meng had asked where all the Chinese people came from, but no one had ever heard of Wen Mei's name. Sri Lanka wasn't a big city, and at this time, there were even fewer Chinese people who came here.
Unless...
Yu Meng had a bad guess in her heart. She didn't want her guess to come true, but …
Not long after, the plague broke out. Corpses were strewn all over the streets, and the stench of rotting flesh filled the air.
Yu Meng saw a piece of jade on a rotten person.
Yu Meng recognized that piece of jade. It was something her mother had always carried around with her. She had heard that it came from her maternal grandma's house, so her mother never picked it up.
Yu Meng could not believe that this man who looked like a pile of rotten meat in front of her was her mother.
