I am terminally ill, but I am healing the world with my songs
#72 - Chapter 72 Burning Yourself as a Candle
Bang, bang, bang…
As the knocking sounded, Cheng Yudie immediately rushed over and opened the door.
"You're back! It's just time for dinner, come in quickly," she said with a smile.
"S-sorry for disturbing…"
Wen Ze lowered his head and walked in, feeling very embarrassed.
"You little rascal, getting a beating has made you so polite, hahaha."
Cheng Yudie's teasing immediately made Wen Ze's face flush red.
"Oh, you're blushing."
Gao Chongting was also wickedly sharp.
He went up and added another jab.
Which directly made Wen Ze even redder.
"Alright, I won't bully you anymore, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner," Cheng Yudie said with a smile as she walked inside.
When Wen Ze arrived in the living room, he happened to see Wen He carrying a bowl of steaming dish.
The two locked eyes at that moment.
Wen Ze, ashamed and wanting to disappear, quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Wen He's gaze at all.
Wen He placed the dish he was holding on the table and walked towards Wen Ze.
"Cough cough…"
Wen He's cough was very close to him.
Until Wen He's figure appeared in his lowered eyes.
Wen He slowly extended his right hand towards him.
Seeing this, Wen Ze was like a startled rabbit, quickly closing his eyes, his whole body tense.
"Does your wound still hurt?"
Wen He precisely touched the injured area on Wen Ze through his school uniform.
But his movements were very gentle and did not cause Wen Ze any pain.
Hearing these words, something deep inside Wen Ze seemed to be touched.
His emotions were like a flood, instantly surging out and engulfing him.
"Mmm…"
Wen Ze nodded slowly, choking back tears.
"Don't be afraid, it's all over now, just live with me from now on," Wen He gently rubbed his hair.
"Brother… I'm sorry… I'm sorry… I used to treat you so badly… I used to hurt you so much… I'm sorry…"
Wen Ze, unable to hold back any longer, his eyes red, apologized desperately with a sob.
"It's all in the past," Wen He comforted him softly.
Seeing this, Cheng Yudie and Gao Chongting both smiled.
Wen Ze cried for a long, long time this time.
While crying, he recounted all the bad things he had done to Wen He in the past, and constantly apologized and repented.
"Okay, okay, let's eat first, you need strength to cry when you're full," Cheng Yudie quickly said, seeing that Wen Ze had calmed down a little.
"Mmm…" Wen Ze nodded obediently.
Then they enjoyed dinner together.
It is worth mentioning that:
The place they are at now is not Cheng Yudie's apartment, but her neighbor's apartment.
This place is a bit remote, and it's also a small city, so not many people rent in this entire apartment building.
Wen He thought about keeping Wen Ze, so it was naturally impossible to continue living in Cheng Yudie's apartment.
Otherwise, even Duoduo's place to live might be taken over by them.
Wen He still had some money in his hands, so he simply rented the apartment next door to Cheng Yudie.
This way, they were also neighbors.
The distance between their two homes was less than three meters.
The opposite door was the other's home, making it very convenient to visit.
"Brother, after you left home, I realized that the food you make is the best in the world!" Wen Ze exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
"Really? That's good if you like it, eat more and grow taller," Wen He said with a smile, putting a piece of meat into his bowl.
"What, you don't like KFC anymore? Wasn't fried chicken and big hamburgers your favorite?"
Cheng Yudie was still teasing Wen Ze in a joking way.
"I didn't know any better before, I didn't appreciate what I had," Wen Ze did not evade.
His face flushed red, he deeply realized his mistake, and then looked at Wen He: "Brother, you don't know, after you left they stopped cooking, we ate takeout every day, I was about to throw up."
"It's okay, I'll cook for you in the future," Wen He replied.
"That won't do, Brother, teach me how to cook, you've cooked for us for so many years, I'll cook for you in the future."
"You kid has made great progress, your attitude is very good, worthy of praise," Cheng Yudie gradually accepted Wen Ze.
Mainly because she didn't expect Wen Ze to have such a big change.
He was clearly a naughty kid just a week ago.
"Thank you…"
Wen Ze was a little embarrassed and scratched his head after suddenly receiving praise.
After dinner, he also took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
Wen He wanted to help, but he wouldn't let him.
Seeing this, everyone could feel that Wen Ze had really undergone a huge change that was visible to the naked eye.
It was as if he had grown up overnight.
"Duoduo, come here, let me open a can for you."
Cheng Yudie took out a can of meat and called out to the walking orange gas tank.
"Meow! Meow meow meow~~~"
Hearing that there was canned food to eat, Duoduo excitedly ran towards Cheng Yudie, its huge body looked very comical when it ran.
"Still feeding it canned food, it's already so fat," Gao Chongting complained.
However…
That Duoduo, who was trying to run towards the canned food, was stopped by Cheng Yudie, who very wickedly kept it away when Duoduo arrived in front of her.
Seeing this, Duoduo felt like the sky was falling, and was immediately stunned in place.
"Haha, you fell for it! Stupid Duoduo! I should bully you severely."
Cheng Yudie didn't care so much, she pushed Duoduo to the ground and then wantonly kneaded Duoduo's fluffy, big round belly.
"Bad woman," Gao Chongting muttered softly.
He didn't expect Cheng Yudie to change her face faster than flipping a book.
Seeing this harmonious and beautiful scene, Wen He smiled from the bottom of his heart.
This was the "home" he had dreamed of.
Although it wasn't a home, it was better than a home.
But ah…
Wen He didn't have many days left to live.
Now, every day that passed was one day closer to his death.
The beautiful life in front of him, like paradise, made Wen He start to fear death, and made him start to reject singing.
But ah…
When Wen He saw Wen Ze being beaten like that by his parents at home today, he felt a pang of heartache.
It was as if he was seeing his former self.
He had countless times hoped in the dead of night that a light could shine on him.
To wash away his scarred heart.
To warm his cold and lonely heart.
Hoping, struggling, yearning, praying, begging…
— Sing on.
— While you are still alive.
— While you still have the ability to give warmth to others.
— Save more people who need saving, redeem more people who need redemption.
— Even if it means burning yourself as a candle, you must light up the future for those in the dark.
Tonight, late at night.
When everyone was asleep.
In order not to worry them, Wen He quietly left home and came to a quiet, uninhabited place.
He took out painkillers, swallowed a handful, and after swallowing them, Wen He clicked on the button to record a video.
"In this world, there are still many dreams that are not recognized, feelings that are not blessed, and children who are not cared for."
"They have never made a mistake, but can only tremble and walk thinly on the road."
"The new song 'Borrow' is dedicated to them."
(Borrow - Mao Buyi)
"Borrowing the myriad things of heaven and earth, not seeking to reach a certain place in the end, but only seeking fewer obstacles on the road, so that they can also be ordinary."
After saying this, the prelude also sounded softly…
