Chapter 173

173: Don't Abandon Me

"Big Brother!!" A raging voice suddenly rang out, piercing the white forge like a sharp knife.

Ning Ning looked back, it was Wen Yu.

Wen Yu rushed over. Brothers who had not met for decades, the first thing he did upon meeting him was to throw a punch at him.

"What did you promise me?" Wen Yu said with rage, "You said you wouldn't let her down!"

"...What do you know?" Shi Zhong Tang turned his beaten up back at him. He reached out and grabbed his collar then pulled Wen Yu up in front of himself, saying angrily, "Look at me! Look closely! Stop making sarcastic remarks! If you were to turn into my current state, you wouldn't be better than me!!"

The obscure white fog, from a distance, all one could see were shadows.

Now that he was up close, he was able to see the mask on his face clearly, along with his white sideburns.

Wen Yu was stunned for a moment. "Big Brother...what happened to your hair?"

Shi Zhong Tang gave him a shove. He reached out to grab Ning Ning's hand, pulled her and started to run towards the theater.

"Shi Tou Ge, why...did you turn old?"

Shi Zhong Tang suddenly paused in his tracks.

He could not help but grab a bunch of his hair, it was half black and half white. Hold on...he flipped his right hand around, his eyes gradually widened. He saw wrinkles gradually appear on the back of his hand, like rings getting added on to an old tree.

"...Ahhh!" Shi Zhong Tang looked down and wailed. The sad and shrill wail gradually turned into laughter, he laughed out as he looked back at Ning Ning and said, "Yes, I'm already old, so what?"

He dragged Ning Ning into the deep parts of the fog, laughing as he walked. "Don't worry, the mask on my face can't be removed, you don't have to see my old and ugly face!"

Ning Ning staggered behind him, looking at his back absent-mindedly with disbelief.

Anxious, self-abased, raging, unreconciled...she had never seen this side of Shi Zhong Tang.

"Why did you age?" She murmured, "Doesn't masked people stop aging..."

"Disappointed?" Shi Zhong Tang said without looking at her, "It's useless even if you're disappointed. If you could live to a hundred years, you would have to be with me for a hundred years. If you could live for a hundred days, you would have to be with me for a hundred days. Life in the morning, death in the evening...this was what you have promised me!"

Every word turned into a chain, Shi Zhong Tang's hands turned into a cold and heavy chain, cuffing Ning Ning's wrists tightly, dragging her along.

"Big Brother!" Wen Yu caught up again.

Shi Zhong Tang cursed under his breath. He pulled Ning Ning behind him then faced Wen Yu and asked, "What else do you want?"

Wen Yu stared at him for a moment before he let out a quiet sigh. "I'm sorry."

Shi Zhong Tang cocked his eyebrows.

"...Previously, I didn't realise the state your body was in, so I said a lot of harmful comments. I'm sorry." Wen Yu took one step forward and looked at him with concern. "What's wrong with your body? Can I help you?"

Shi Zhong Tang took a step back instead and let out a mocking laugh, "Ha, what are you hoping for? Are you hoping that I'm not a masked person?"

Wen Yu stopped in his tracks.
