Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Chapter 667 A Tribute to Freedom, A Tribute to the Future! 5

Ye Youxuan didn't know what the old principal was thinking, so he didn't know the gratitude and guilt in the old principal's heart. In fact, even if he knew, he wouldn't have much of an emotional reaction.

Nothing mattered to him anymore.

Like Grandpa Feng, the old headmaster knew that Feng Yu'an was wrong, but they were helpless. They were selfish; they had the ability to help Ye Youxuan escape her current predicament, at least to let her escape to a farther place, where she might have more time to be free. But they didn't want to see Feng Yu'an go crazy. Faced with the choice between the two, they would naturally choose their own child.

Logically speaking, he was not Feng Yu'an's family member, but rather Feng Yu'an's teacher who taught him knowledge and principles. He should have been more fair and just, and should have set a good example!

Can......

Every time he saw Feng Yu'an, he would think of the child he had carefully taught.

He still remembered Feng Ci'an's last request when he collapsed into his arms: to do everything possible to keep his only nephew alive.

The child who had always been against him lay in his arms, covered in blood, making arrangements for his death.

The child she had carefully nurtured, the child who would come to argue with her every time there was a holiday, carrying a whole bunch of supplements, slowly breathed her last in her arms.

He still remembered how he had fought with Old Master Feng in the courtyard that day. He hated this patriarch of the Feng family who couldn't protect his own family! Yet, he also pitied this man who, in his efforts to change the cannibalistic state of the Feng family, had lost his eldest and youngest sons within a few years—one the eldest son he had painstakingly raised and who resembled him most, and the other his most beloved youngest son. All because he wanted to change the cruel environment of the Feng family, but...

He won in the end, but he lost his family. In order to ensure his grandson's survival and to help him better take over the Feng family and rise higher in this cutthroat society, he ruthlessly prepared all sorts of tests for him...

Feng Yu'an does seem like a normal person, but... only those who know him well know that beneath the normal human skin lies an abnormal soul.

Paranoia...

dark......

It's a real... monster hiding in the corner!!!

Ye Youxuan lowered her head slightly, looking at the excited students below, her eyes filled with envy.

Ye Youxuan rubbed his hands and quietly watched the scene downstairs.

He wondered if things would have ended this way if that incident hadn't happened that day.

Are they... just like the people downstairs, excited about their idol's upcoming arrival? Are they also like those young couples secretly kissing in the corner, feeling shy and eager about this tense and exciting atmosphere?

Do you also stroll hand in hand with them on nights when you don't have classes, planning your future together?

Imagine the beauty, imagine spring, imagine... the tomorrow that is coming!

If I hadn't had such a strong desire for revenge, and hadn't asked Lin Moyan and the others to help me take revenge, would none of this have happened?

Is Ye Ling still chattering around me, telling me about the fun things that happened in the past? Yin Huan wouldn't have neglected her because of my obsession with climbing that position, causing her to break down and commit suicide. And Amo wouldn't have been persecuted by them because of me.

He thought that must be the case.

If you don't hold onto fairness, don't hold onto living, don't hold onto... then that unspeakable goodbye...

Are they just as youthful and beautiful as these people today, just as...enviable...?

The old principal sensed a sudden loneliness and sadness emanating from Ye Youxuan; an aura of despair enveloped him, which was alarming.

At this moment, Ye Youxuan was like a person trapped in a quagmire, the more he struggled, the deeper he sank, yet he was unwilling to slowly await death...

This side of Ye Youxuan made the old headmaster feel dangerous. He was afraid that if this child left again, then... the demon chained by Ye Youxuan would completely lose... the skin that maintained his human identity.

The old principal didn't want Feng Yu'an to fall into despair again, nor did he want to see him become a demon, so he could only feel sorry for the child in front of him!

The old headmaster sighed and slowly walked to Ye Youxuan's side.

"Actually... there are many choices in life. Sitting down is one kind... standing up is another kind... sitting in a conference room is one kind, sweeping the street in the sun is yet another kind. It all depends on one's mindset. You may think the youthful energy downstairs is admirable, but they envy... you now."

Ye Youxuan smiled slightly as he listened to the old principal's words.

"Me? Envious of me?"

Ye Youxuan seemed to have heard a joke. As he asked, he turned his head to look at the old principal. His eyes were filled with doubt, confusion, and sarcasm... but not... happiness.

"What do you envy about me? My loving parents? My harmonious sibling relationship? My independence? Or do you envy that I... used some tricks and did everything I could to climb to that position and become a...god in the eyes of my students? Or do you envy...everything I have now?"

The old headmaster was slightly taken aback, opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Yeah? What's there to envy about him?

What is it about Ye Youxuan standing on the stage that you envy?

I envy him... Was he the one who was abandoned as a child?

His parents loved each other, but at the moment of his birth, his father chose his mother and entrusted him to his grandparents, so he did not have a complete childhood!

He was a brother who was much older than him... his adoptive brother. His parents and brother chose the child who was not yet born and whose truth had not yet been discovered... Akiko.

Independent and self-reliant? Without family, Adumus can only be independent and self-reliant, and can only live by himself.

A god in the eyes of students?

Yes! What a wonderful title! It's like a god-like existence, but what did he gain from having this title?

What he received were hands stained with blood, a crippled body, the burning blood of his dearest friend dripping onto his cheek below the school building, and the rainwater mixed with bone fragments and blood that he could never wipe dry in front of the sofa on rainy days...

Now he's become a radiant presence in the eyes of the world, but no one knows he's trapped in this small cage, deprived of his freedom...

What is the price of standing on a high platform?

He lost his childhood, his family, his best friends, and himself.

final......

He lost the only remaining freedom he had left—the freedom to choose for himself.

The price was too high! So high that he didn't even have the right to die.
