CHAPTER 278: CHAPTER 279: I’M ALREADY DEAD

Shi Mei, upon hearing Ye Tiao’s words, turned her head away expressionlessly and closed her eyes again.

"Hey," Ye Tiao couldn’t stand it anymore, "what the hell are you doing here alone? The people downstairs said you haven’t been going out or ordering food. Have you even eaten in the past few days?"

Shi Mei: "..."

Seeing her lifeless appearance, Ye Tiao knew what was going on, got angry, and pulled her up,

Shi Mei closed her eyes, her face turned pale, and she said irritably, "Leave me alone."

"I’m your fucking care, who else will care for you? Get up!" Ye Tiao, with a fierce look on her face, pulled her up and put on the clothes she had brought, "You can tell me what’s wrong. What’s going on with you, looking half-dead? If your dad saw you like this, he’d whip you to death!"

Ye Tiao could even imagine what Tang Huai Zhang would say, and imitating his voice, she scolded, "How did our Tang Family end up with such a loser like you? Get up!"

It was supposed to be a joke, but unexpectedly, Shi Mei began to cry uncontrollably.

Ye Tiao was terrified and exclaimed, "What are you doing? Oh, my god, why are you crying? Shut up, shut up!"

Shi Mei cried even louder and hugged Ye Tiao tightly, crying, "I want to go home, Ye Tiao, I miss my mom and dad so much, I miss my grandparents..."

Ye Tiao panicked and yelled, "Then why are you crying? Calm down, sweetie, get up and dress, I’ll take you to see your mom and dad."

"Now, what identity shall I use to see them?" Shi Mei’s crying stopped, her voice weak and exhausted, "I’m already dead, Tang Wu is already dead..."

"You’re not dead, look, you’re alive and well," Ye Tiao held her, feeling sour in her heart, and gently patted her back, "If your parents knew you were still alive, they would definitely be as happy as I am. Xiao Wu, no one doesn’t want you back."

She was alive and well now, but she was no longer Tang Wu.

Should she tell them that their child had returned to life in another body?

Who would believe such a nonsensical story?

Shi Mei’s throat choked uncomfortably, "I can’t go back, Insect, I can’t go back."

"Nonsense, who the fuck is stopping you from going back? It all depends on whether you’re willing to go back or not," Ye Tiao’s heart ached as she spoke softly, "Everyone loves you very much, Xiao Wu. Auntie and grandma often think of you, crying secretly. I know Uncle Tang doesn’t say much, but every time he sees me, he always asks a bit more. My dad said it’s because Uncle Tang is reminded of you when he sees me."

Shi Mei cried even harder.

Tang Huai Zhang was a strict military man, never skilled at expressing his feelings.

Yet, when he learned of Tang Wu’s accident, this ironclad stern man broke down in front of thousands of subordinates, crying bitterly.

Ye Tiao couldn’t help herself as tears began to seep from her eyes, she reached to wipe her eyes, "Why cry, you still have me. Whenever you’re ready, I’ll go back with you, okay? Stop crying. Seeing you like this...I fucking...can’t hold back either..."

Shi Mei couldn’t help but laugh through her tears, while Ye Tiao burst into loud sobs, punching her, "Cry for what, you lunatic."

Shi Mei’s tears flowed, yet she couldn’t help but burst into a big laugh, holding her belly.

Ye Tiao (smoking with mixed feelings): What the fuck did I come here for?
