Wen Yang, You’ve Still Got Me!

In the Martyrs' Cemetery in Section C of Capital Base. The Martyrs' Cemetery was well preserved after the advent of the doomsday. It might seem to be a bit extravagant to the ordinary people as the human living space were now very limited, and how could they reserve places for the dead. Only those in high positions of power knew that this place had to be retained as it was actually reserved for the living.

After the doomsday, soldiers were undoubtedly the only fighting force. For the soldiers of China, being buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery after death was their highest honor. If they saw the Martyrs' Cemetery being destroyed when they were still alive, how would they bent over backwards to guard the base? Keeping the Martyrs' Cemetery was not a sign of respect for the dead, but simply a way to gain the trust of the living.

"Em?"

Yun Cheng and Gu Mingxuan were not with them. As the four entered the Martyrs' Cemetery, they all looked serious, until they saw several tall figures standing in front of a tombstone not far away. Mo Wenyang stopped in confusion, and obviously the other party also seemed to have seen them, and they turned to reveal who they truly were. It was the junior base commander of the Northeast Base, Gao Wei, and the other people should be his subordinates.

"Gao Wei? Why is he in the capital?"

Tan Weiye unnoticeably frowned, and Xing Feng calmly said, "Don't you forget that the Zhou Family has sent out invitations everywhere?"

"Uh…"

He did forget. So the Zhou Family was indeed the one to blame. If they didn't plan a big wedding like that, they wouldn't have collapsed in such a short time.

"Weiye, Wenyang."

As they spoke, the man had approached and Gao Wei pounded his fist on the chest of Xing Feng, and then punched with Tan Weiye and Mo Wenyang. When it was Yun Che's turn, Gao Wei smiled and said, "Che, we meet again. I was planning to visit you when I return."

"What a coincidence."

Yun Che's smile was indifferent and detached. Whether it was because of what happened in his previous life or not, he didn't want to get too close to Gao Wei. A person who could cruelly experiment with humans and mutant beasts, and was proud of creating mutant human beings were not someone he thought to be trustworthy. But he was Xing Feng's friends, so he couldn't just ignore him and he still had to be polite.

"Are you guys here to visit Shao Ting?"

Gao Wei didn't seem to take his indifference to heart, and he quickly looked away. The whole world knew that Mo Wenyang loved Shao Ting in the past, so even if he didn't know Shao Ting, it was still a good guess.

"Yeah."

In this kind of place, Mo Wenyang was really not in the mood to rejoice with him, and he smiled stiffly. Xing Feng and Tan Weiye were in no better situation. Gao Wei nodded his head understandingly, "I'm almost ready to leave. I'll wait for you guys outside the cemetery. What about getting together later?"

Not sure if he was imagining it, Yun Che felt that he unnoticeably swept a glance at him when he said this.

"Sure, we haven't seen each other for years."

Tan Weiye was the one answered. Gao Wei was not telling a lie when he said that he was a child friend of Xing Feng at the wedding the day before. The Gao Family was once a prestigious family in the capital, but more than ten years ago, when they were about ten years old, the Gao Family shifted their focus to the northeast. But before that, they lived in the same compound, and they were about the same age, so they naturally played together. But the next time they met was at the national military exercises.

"Then I'll go out now."

Having said that, Gao Wei threw a look to his subordinates and led them out of the cemetery.

"It seems you wanted to tell me something yesterday?"

As the four continued to walk forward, Xing Feng, who deliberately walked behind with Yun Che, said in a low voice.

"Well, it's not a right place to talk about it outside. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Although no one was visible inside Martyrs' Cemetery, Yun Che would still be cautious, after all this was not their own territory.

Xing Feng raised his eyebrows, "Is it about Gao Wei?"

"You can also say it's about the Northeast Base."

Hearing Yun Che's words, Xing Feng immediately understood what he meant and he stopped probing. The two of them kept a certain distance to follow behind Tan Weiye and Mo Wenyang. From their backs, they seemed to be a couple strolling, but in fact, they were going to see the rival that Tan Weiye couldn't beat in his life. It was hard for the living to compete with the dead.

After ten minutes or so, the four of them stopped in front of a row of tombstones. At this point, not only Mo Wenyang, but also Xing Feng and Tan Weiye went silent. Looking at the posthumous photos on the tombstones, Yun Che silently held the hand of Xing Feng. These must his dead friends, right? It was because of them that he turned against his family and had not really forgiven them.

They stood in front of the tombstones for a long time, until Xing Feng fished out bunches of flowers from the Space to hand to them. The three of them placed the flowers one by one in front of those tombstones, and Mo Wenyang was left in a trance in front of a tombstone that had obviously not been taken care of for a long time and then he placed the bouquet in front of it. Sfter that, he didn't retreat, but caressed the tombstone and sat down against it.

"Shao Ting, long time no see!"

Mo Wenyang did not cry, but his expression was even worse than crying. Yun Che looked at the photo on the tombstone. It must be set up years ago. Although the photo was wrapped in a plastic package, it was more or less blurred. But he could still recognize the man's original face. It was a man who was not very handsome, but had very distinctive features and seemed extremely righteous.

Seeing Tan Weiye walk over, Yun Che immediately looked away, but then he saw Xing Feng in great pain. Thinking of what happened then, Yun Che helplessly let out a sigh and walked over to hold his hands, "It's all in the past. If they knew what you had done for them, they'll be happy."

He was never the one that owed them, so he did not have to carry such a heavy responsibility.

"It's difficult for a man to meet someone who he could trust his life with. Once I thought I was lucky to have met a group of friends who I could trust my life with, just like Haoling and the others. When we were on a mission, we were like the sharpest blades that pierced the enemies' chest. We were never afraid of guns and bullets. And we even considered death to be honorable. When we were not on a mission, we were just a group of ordinary people. We were young and reckless and had done a lot of stupid things. But every time we had become an idiot, we would have a good laugh about it. For us, it was also part of our life to be stupid sometime and that was how we should experience at such a young age. We were really happy then, and we enjoy our life as soldiers, but…"

His tone suddenly changed, and Xing Feng was even a bit choked, "But they did not die in the difficult task, but died because of the plot of corrupt officials. It is not that I am unable to accept their deaths. When we became soldiers, and the strongest soldiers, we were always ready to sacrifice ourselves for the country and for the people. But I cannot accept their death in this way. Those people not only killed them, but also trampled our dignity as soldiers. When I learned that the man behind the curtains was somehow related to the Xing Family, I collapsed. That was the reason why I hated my father who had destroyed the evidence, and I was so disappointed in this country, even though they had done their best to compensate."

Xing Feng was never as excited as he was now. All these years he did not have the courage to come to pay tribute to them, and he also felt shameful to face them, because he had failed their trust. He hated that he was not the one that died!

"You or the Xing Family was not to blame for this. It's those in Long Family who deserve to die. And I'm sure if grandpa had known early on, he would have stopped it in advance."

Tightening the hand that was intertwined with his, Yun Che turned his head to look at Xing Feng. He knew why Xing Feng would take the blame for everything. For one, he was the boss, the one who survived. And secondly, well, the Long Family and the Xing Family at that time were after all related by marriage. Therefore, although the Xing Family was not involved, or they even knew nothing about it, there was no doubt their power had indirectly contributed to the tragedy. In the end, Xing Tianyi chose to protect the daughter-in-law of his eldest son and prevent him from taking revenge, while the official forcibly suppressed that incident because of the potential bad influence. Because of all these factors, he had been trapped in the pain of the death of his comrades for many years.

Xing Feng didn't say anything more but he was still in a low spirit. On the other side, Mo Wenyang was much calmer compared with him. He just quietly leaned against the tombstone, as if he had a thousand words to say, but he didn't say a word. Meanwhile, Tan Weiye quietly kept him company from the beginning to the end. At this time, any words of comfort were not needed and all he wanted, was only quiet company.

"Shao Ting, I'll stop loving you now."

After a long while, Mo Wenyang, who slightly narrowed his eyes and was leaning against the tombstone, suddenly spoke, tears rolling down his cheek. Before Tan Weiye, who was shocked, could speak, Mo Wenyang wiped away his tears and smiled. He propped up his body and touched the tombstone, "Loving you is too painful. Obviously, you'd never responded to me, so why the fuck should I keep missing you for so many years? You know what? I once hated you. You died without leaving a word to me. If you were willing to say anything, even if you asked me to love you for a life time, I would do as you said. But you said nothing. Who was I to you, really? So that's it. I'm tired, and I don't want to love you anymore. I won't visit you again."

Having said that, Mo Wenyang stood up without any attachment. Tan Weiye, who had been left in a daze for a long time, suddenly stopped. Before he went chasing after Mo Wenyang, he turned around to look at the picture on the tombstone, "He's mine and I'll take good care of him."

Having said that, Tan Weiye strode after Mo Wenyang. Shao Ting was smiling on the photo, as if he was sending them his blessing.

"Wenyang, you've still got me."

Having caught up with him, Tan Weiye spread his arms and hugged him from the back, burying his head in his shoulder blades. Mo Wenyang's body stiffened and then he smiled helplessly, "You are really persistent. You are just like how you were years ago."

When he found him after Shao Ting died, he also hugged him like this and said the same thing. However, then, Mo Wenyang couldn't listen to anything, and now, he listened and was ready to respond. He didn't know if he would still have so much passion to love him like he loved Shao Ting, but he wouldn't fail his love again and would try his best to love him back. As long as he didn't change, he would stay with him for life!

"So you can't escape. Resign yourself to your fate!"

This time, he was not going to let go. Even he had to chase after him for his whole life, he would do it.

"So be it."

"What?"

Tan Weiye widened his eyes. Did he hear it right? Was that a yes from him?

He had been in love with him since they were kids and now he finally got a happy ending. However, Tan Weiye found himself in disbelief, but Mo Wenyang calmly turned around in his arms, cupped his head and leaned over to give him a peck on the lips, "I said I's be with you and I would try to fall in love with you…um…"

Mo Wenyang wasn't able to finish his words because Tan Weiye kissed him. His kiss was like magic opening a mysterious door, igniting Tan Weiye.

"You won't have a chance to regret it."

"Mmm…"

When he took a second to take a breath, Tan Weiye announced domineeringly, not even giving him a chance to speak. Then he leaned over again to envelop his lips that had been sucked red and swollen. He used his flexible tongue to pry open his teeth and plunge deep into his mouth. Mo Wenyang didn't refuse, taking the initiative to move his tongue to intertwine with his. They embraced and kissed in the cemetery, as if there was no one else. They changed different position and passionately kissed each other.

"It seems that this trip is worthy."

Yun Che, who saw this from afar, said with a smile. Although he had long been sure that Tan Weiye would gain Mo Wenyang's heart sooner or later, he did not expect it to be so soon. All these years, Mo Wenyang had too bitter a life, but fortunately the god showed mercy to him, and left him a more infatuated man.

"Well, Shao Ting can finally rest in peace."

Xing Feng, who was watching the scene with him, turned back to look at the picture of Shao Ting. Shao Ting was the only one of his dead friends who did not rest in peace. Shao Ting also liked Wenyang. He was older than them all, and they knew, he had been waiting for Mo Wenyang to grow up. However, unfortunately, he died before the time came. If he was watching from the heaven and saw that Wenyang suffered for him for so many years, he should be heartbroken, right? Now Wenyang finally decided to give in and accept another man into his life, a man he was familiar with, he should now rest in peace.
