DPM Chapter 77-The Truth Part 2
Translated by Snowfall77
Liu Meng’s head slightly lowered: “In that tunnel……My mother was killed by Mozun.”
Wu Xingyun recalled that congested tunnel of City C, and the sight of Ye Fan coming out dazed and dispirited.
“I saw him murder my mother with my own eyes, and I swore to get revenge. Right then, I stole a gun too. It took all my strength and both hands to hold it up……Yet when I walked up to him, he immediately pushed me down. If you hadn’t helped me up, put me in someone else’s arms, I would have died too. Everyone was trying to escape, caring only about their own life, not even willing to help a child. Except for you. That was when I pledged two things to myself. First, I must be with you, take care of you properly, and love you. Second, I’d kill the man who murdered my mother.”
Unable to remember who he’d saved at that time, Wu Xingyun just knew both Ye Fan and himself had been dumbstruck by the giant monitor lizards. There’d been no time to think about anything else other than staying alive.
Still, Wu Xingyun believed that Liu Meng’s hatred of Ye Fan was probably based on a misunderstanding.
Or maybe it wasn’t a mistake.
In the end, did it matter? Ye Fan probably couldn’t recall what’d really happened at that time either.
Wu Xingyun wanted to speak up on Ye Fan’s behalf, but couldn’t find the right words.
Liu Meng looked Wu Xingyun straight in the eyes, his voice now assured: “I’m not stupid, I’m not an average child. I’ll grow up quick, and I’ll be stronger, smarter, love you more than Mozun does. He’s a selfish man, he slaughters others for his own survival. In the end, he’ll betray you for some stupid reason. But I won’t do that……I……You’re in my heart. You’re my benefactor and the one I love. You won’t be happy with him, but you and me……When I grow up……”
“I’ll defeat him. Definitely!” Liu Meng’s tone turned decisive as he stared at something beyond Wu Xingyun.
Hearing the footsteps, Wu Xingyun knew who was standing behind him.
“Is that so?” Ye Fan’s deep voice was traced with scorn. “Just you by yourself? You’re not qualified to fight with me over anything.”
“Are you afraid? If you’d known who I was, you wouldn’t have dared bring me back! And now……you probably don’t dare let me live.” Liu Meng claimed.
Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders. “Why wouldn’t I dare? Everything you just said, I heard it. If I did kill your mother……I can only tell you that I’m sorry. I must also tell you that I love Wu Xingyun. I love him more than anyone else. And he loves me. Don’t say you’re just a child now, even when you were eighteen or twenty-eight, he’ll love me and only me!”
Putting one hand around Wu Xingyun’s shoulder, Ye Fan put the other in his pants pocket: “Do you dare to make a bet with me? When you’re eighteen, if you still like Wu Xingyun, I’ll accept your challenge! Right now you’re a child. Children shouldn’t bother adults.”
Liu Meng stared at the Night Shard, multiple images of this figure floating through his mind. The one in the tunnel, pushing his mother, trampling. The one going through the electrical network, running away. When lizards and bats blotted out the sky, the one who broke their siege. The one who’d saved Liu Meng and the others from their underground bunker.
Liu Meng didn’t believe in this Mozun, the man who came out of the night covered in the scent of slaughter.
Switching his gaze to Wu Yun, Liu Meng thought that this man gave off warmth and security. Despite the last days, this soldier’s eyes were clear, knowing the difference between right and wrong.
Liu Meng extended his hand towards Ye Fan: “Yes, if you’re afraid of me growing up these next years, you can kill me.”
With a disdainful smile, Ye Fan slapped Liu Meng’s hand down: “If you have the audacity to challenge me on your eighteenth birthday, I’ll kill you! Until then, I’ll do as I promised Liu Yi and look after you.”
Finished speaking, Ye Fan took Wu Xingyun and left. The two men doddered along, Wu Xingyun fretting about leaving a child at the city outskirts. But Ye Fan maliciously pronounced: “It’d be good for a mutant animal to gobble that disagreeable brat up! The gall to hit on my own lover at such a young age! If it hadn’t been for the promise I made his father, I’d butchered him by now.”
Exasperated, Wu Xingyun swatted at Ye Fan: “Are you taking a child’s words to heart? He can’t yet distinguish love from gratitude.”
Ye Fan smiled, then suddenly turned a bit depressed, lowering his head and walking slowly.
Halfway back home, Ye Fan abruptly pulled Wu Xingyun into his arms, kissing him hard.
After being almost suffocated by Ye Fan’s kiss, Wu Xingyun panted, asking: “What’s the matter?”
“Thinking about Liu Meng’s words,” Ye Fan answered, “Then I suddenly thought about myself……If, when I met you, if the circumstances had been different, if you hadn’t saved me in that blizzard……Would I still love you like I do now?”
Wu Xingyun put an arm around Ye Fan, pillowing his head in Ye Fan’s shoulder.
Ye Fan gently rubbed Wu Xingyun’s head: “I was thinking about it, and I believe even if you hadn’t of rescued me, even if we met in some completely other situation, I’d still be in love with you. My point is, I’m the one who love you most in this world. Because I love you, not……something else.”
Wu Xingyun chuckled, and Ye Fan added: “What, you don’t believe me? You think I’m still being competitive with a kid?”
Shaking his head, Wu Xingyun looked at Ye Fan. After a minute, Wu Xingyun told him: “I believe you.”
The way they’d met two thousand years later had been utterly different from now. Yet Mozun had still loved Wu Xingyun. At the most dangerous moment, Mozun had refused to let go of Wu Xingyun’s hand……
Wu Xingyun reached out and took Ye Fan’s hand. Ye Fan’s palm was fine and smooth, but very warm, the fingers sharp and strong.
Intertwining his fingers with Ye Fan’s, Wu Xingyun for the first time dragged Ye Fan quickly to their residence. For the first time, Wu Xingyun took the initiative to press Ye Fan down, passionately kissing him.
“I believe,” Wu Xingyun told Ye Fan, “Even in a different time and place, a different way of meeting, different statuses and relationships, I……believe that you will love me.”
Wu Xingyun’s arms wrapped about Ye Fan’s neck, Ye Fan entering deep into his lover’s body. Like someone sleep-talking, Wu Xingyun whispered into the other’s ear: ““And I will love you. Even if everything changes.”
