C169

On a bustling night, the two sides of the street were decorated with multi-colored lights. This was the most famous bar street in A city.

It was already late at night when Yu Meng was being supported by Fang Rui as they walked down the street.

Fang Rui was the top two, but she had actually forgotten how bad this guy's alcohol tolerance was!

"If you really go in, you'll only get undressed."

Yu Meng smiled as she turned her head to look at Fang Rui. "Let's go and drink."

"I'll take you home." Yu Meng's appearance was truly worrisome.

Yu Meng shook her head.

"I'm not going back." As she spoke, she sat on the side of the road and repeated, "I don't want to go back!"

Fang Rui sighed, and followed and sat down beside Yu Meng: "Then I'll send you to the set's hotel?"

Yu Meng still shook her head.

"I don't want to go back to the hotel either."

Fang Rui knew that there was something that was hiding in Yu Meng's heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have drunk herself drunk so quickly tonight, and wouldn't have sat on the side of the road and refused to return home.

When she was sober, she would always say that she was fine. Now that she was drunk, she looked like a weak and insecure little girl.

Fang Rui thought that this was actually Yu Meng's real appearance. That Director Yu who was swift and decisive on the market, the one who starred in everyone's care on the set, the strong woman who was always sensible and smart in front of everyone, perhaps he had just put on an act for too long and gotten used to it.

It was like telling too many lies, as if he thought it was true.

Fang Rui sighed, opened her arms, placed her hands on the other side of Yu Meng's head, and gently pushed her gently, causing her to lean on her shoulder.

She was mumbling something.

"Why don't you want to go home?" Fang Rui's voice was very gentle, she turned her face, and her voice sounded beside Yu Meng's ears.

"I just don't want to go back."

"Is it..." Fang Rui tried to guess: "Because of Tan Yubai?"

Just as she said the three words "Tan Yubai", Yu Meng started crying. Her tears started dripping down Fang Rui's legs, scaring her.

"What's wrong?" Fang Rui panicked: Tell me, did he bully you?

Yu Meng shook her head and buried her face in Fang Rui's embrace. Fang Rui felt that her chest was extremely warm, and that there was slowly a moist sensation plastered on her skin. Yu Meng's heart was truly hurt, and there were so many tears that Fang Rui had to hold on tightly to her heart.

"Tan Yubai's previous death, everything …" Fang Rui had actually guessed it long ago, "They were all lies, right?"

Yu Meng cried so much that she couldn't even speak a single word, the silence at this moment seemed to have a profound meaning. Fang Rui knew that she wasn't mistaken, Tan Yubai wasn't dead yet, that's why people could make her cry so sorrowfully.

Fang Rui was even more confused now.

"He lied to you so much, why are you still so preoccupied with him?"

Yu Meng was still crying. At this moment, she had already proven that women were made of water. How could she have so many tears to shed?

"Hai." Fang Rui was finally helpless towards her. Patting her shoulder, she stood up herself and then bent down to hug her.

"Who wouldn't go home?" Fang Rui muttered as she called for a taxi: "To Dihao Community."

Fang Rui was a female writer who often wrote gossip novels. As for the home address of the female protagonist of her story, she still had a way to know about it.

She seemed to have fallen asleep, her eyes were closed, and after tormenting herself for an entire night, she had finally calmed down. It was just that the tears at the corner of her eyes had not dried yet.

To go to Dihao Community, other than sending Yu Meng home, the most important thing was that Fang Rui wanted to see Tan Yubai, who made Yu Meng so determined.

She had seen a few vague photos on the internet before and had also seen some news about him. Fang Rui only had a few words to summarize her impressions on Tan Yubai.

He was a man of his word, a man of his word, and a man of his sense of shrewdness.

Such people were the kind that ate people without spitting out their bones.

Fang Rui helped Yu Meng out of the car. When they stood outside the duplex, she was a little nervous.

Yu Meng's body softly pressed against Fang Rui's body. Fang Rui took a long time touching her body before he took out the key from her bag.

The house was quiet and dark except for the moonlight outside the window.

Isn't he home?

Fang Rui supported Yu Meng as they slowly walked through the hallway. When they reached the living room, she pressed the button on the wall. The orange glazed lights came on, illuminating the entire room.

There was a man sitting on the sofa. Fang Rui stood at the back of the sofa and could only see the back of the man's head and a dark brown vertical collar.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, the man rubbed his forehead as he turned around. He seemed to have just fallen asleep. At this moment, there were still traces of unconcealable fatigue in his black eyes.

When Fang Rui saw that pair of eyes, pieces of the floor suddenly exploded in her mind.

She recognized those eyes, and it should be said that she would never forget them.

The pair of eyes seemed to be on guard, secluded and deep, as if it had experienced many years of vicissitudes. It was calm and profound, so good-looking that no one dared to look at it too closely.

Tan Yubai got up from the sofa. He was wearing a brown windbreaker with blue and white stripes underneath.

His expression didn't look good as he stood in front of Fang Rui without saying a word. He silently lifted Yu Meng's other arm and carried her away.

Being moved like this, Yu Meng seemed to have realized something.

He laid her down on the sofa, then raised his distant eyes and spoke to Fang Rui.

"You can go now."

In this case, he really did not care about the matters of the world.

Fang Rui didn't mind at all. The many things that she had prepared in her heart on the way here, had all been thrown to the back of her mind at this moment.

"You are Tan Yubai?"

"Yes."

He did not deny it, but answered frankly.

Fang Rui grabbed her heart and couldn't help but take two steps forward. But just as she raised her leg, she was shocked by Tan Yubai's gloomy gaze and retracted it.

He didn't seem to like the fact that there were outsiders in the room, or perhaps strangers. In short, his tone was too friendly towards Fang Rui.

"What else do you want?"

The look in Tan Yubai's eyes when he looked at Fang Rui had always been cold and distant, but the moment he bent over to face Yu Meng, the arrogance and arrogance on his body could no longer be seen.

Fang Rui was amazed at the greatness of love's power, and at the same time heard her own heartbeat race.

"You …" Fang Rui had never been so nervous before. She asked carefully and her breathing quickened, "Do you still remember me?"

Tan Yubai felt that this question was unfathomable, but he patiently answered it.

However, his tightly knitted eyebrows never relaxed.

"You are the screenwriter of Little Dream's new movie right? I've heard her mention it before."

"No!" Fang Rui didn't want to say this.

"You seem to be sweating." Tan Yubai's tone finally became a bit more relaxed at this moment. It wasn't as cold as before, and there still seemed to be a trace of a smile on his face. "Did I scare you?"

After all, in front of most outsiders, he was still a "dead man".

Fang Rui shook her head.

"Do you still remember …" Fang Rui finally mustered up her courage, "Many years ago, did you save a person from Sri Lanka's undercover city?"

Tan Yubai seemed to have not expected that the topic of conversation to suddenly return to so many years ago. His beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of ripple, but very quickly, he returned to that indifferent look.

It was as if this topic was nothing to him.

"I know you don't remember." Even though Fang Rui had already guessed it, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she saw that Tan Yubai didn't even remember her.

"When I was attacked by the air raid in Sri Lanka, I was so scared that I sprained my ankle. It was you who brought me to a safe place."

To be exact, Tan Yubai had saved Fang Rui twice.

"Later on, I personally witnessed you killing the fierce tiger's boss, Lu Youhuai, and saving everyone in the slums."

So many years had passed since this incident had happened, yet when Fang Rui brought it up again, she still could not resist the tears that welled up in her eyes.

On the road to life, she had more than once guessed the face of that Hero that year. She had also thought that person might have already died, but no matter what, he was the only hero that Fang Rui placed faith in in in her heart.

He did not say a single word, and did not wish to be remembered by anyone. Standing in the shadows of silence and darkness, he quietly saved so many lives.

Fang Rui's fingertips trembled, she looked at Tan Yubai with swollen eyes, she felt like she was in a dream, in this dream, she had actually completed the dream of letting her die without regrets.

Tan Yubai's expression was calm, from beginning to end, there was no reaction at all from Fang Rui's agitated words.

In the end, he could only wait for Fang Rui to finish speaking. Then, he picked up the paper from the tea table and handed it over to Fang Rui.

"It's all in the past now."

These short four words, did not admit nor deny it. Only, from Tan Yubai's voice, it seemed as if it was as light as a feather, and was something that he had never seemed to take to heart, nor did he ever feel like mentioning.

Fang Rui pulled out a tissue, but didn't even have the time to wipe her tears. She was curious to know if this man would hide such a grand past in her dark dreams, or even bring it up.

With the tissue in Fang Rui's hand, she had already calmed down quite a bit. She was left with only a stomach full of questions that she wanted to ask.
