Chapter 100 The Last Moments
Chapter 100 The Last Moments
chapter 100
Filming for "Puppet Show" has finally wrapped up today, taking a full 28 days.
Fang Tingting posted on Weibo that this is her last film and television work, and she hopes everyone will support her.
Situ Ming even posted on Weibo that this is the best film and television work he has ever made, and everyone should go to the cinema to watch it.
Jiang Yuming, however, posted a different message: "Among the shining stars, I will surely be the most dazzling one."
Perhaps out of guilt, Xu Xingcheng and Jiang Shiyu used all their resources in the industry to get half of the celebrities in the entertainment circle to send Weibo posts to support the movie.
Zhou Jun is a new director with little to no assets. All his funding comes from Xu Xingcheng, so he can be considered a benefactor to him.
There are only two days left before I have to leave this city.
Meng Youcheng let out a heavy sigh...
He glanced at Jiang Yuming, who was still beaming with joy beside him, and felt uneasy inside...
Jiang Yuming, holding his wine glass, turned to look at him, a smile spreading across his face. "Uncle... how was it? Wasn't I amazing? You have no idea... for the last scene, the wires put me really high up, I practically flew through the air..."
Meng Youcheng curled the corner of his mouth slightly. "Impressive."
The boy leaned on his shoulder. "Uncle... I'm tired. If I really win the Best Actor award, can I... quit the entertainment industry? I don't want to be an actor anymore. The backstabbing and scheming are so unbearable..."
Meng Youcheng froze for a few seconds. "Then... what do you want to do?"
"Let's start a small business, something that's neither too big nor too small..."
The boy looked up at him and said, "Just the two of us, going to a place where nobody knows me, starting a new life, raising a cat or a dog. I'll work outside to earn money, and you'll take care of the house. Then every day when I come home, I can eat the meal you've worked so hard to cook..."
"And then at night, we can also..."
Jiang Yuming grinned mischievously, "When the weekend comes, you can take me to the amusement park. I've always wanted to go there, but... no one has ever been willing to take me before. But it's okay, I have you now, you'll take me, right?"
Meng Youcheng pondered for a few minutes...
Is there anywhere else you'd like to go?
Jiang Yuming moved a little closer to him, looking at his face. "I want to go to so many places, preferably holding your hand, and travel all over the world. We also want to eat delicious food, all kinds of food, and ice cream, mangoes, and... poached chicken, I especially love all of these..."
The man turned and glanced at him. "Shall we... go to the amusement park tomorrow?"
Jiang Yuming froze for a few seconds, his eyes welling up with tears. "Uncle... could you promise me something?"
Meng Youcheng looked at him, "What?"
"If one day... I'm no longer by your side, take good care of yourself, don't worry me, I..."
Tears welled up in Jiang Yuming's eyes. "Actually... I'm quite worried about you."
Meng Youcheng froze for a few seconds. "What do you mean?"
The boy wiped away his tears. "It doesn't mean anything. I just felt this way. I'm afraid that day will come. If I leave, or you leave, whatever happens after you're no longer by my side, you must take good care of yourself..."
"I will use all my strength to find you."
Meng Youcheng looked into his eyes, "Are you...?"
"I have no idea……"
Tears streamed down the boy's face. "I don't know anything. Didn't you say we were going to the amusement park? I want to go too. Can you take me tomorrow?"
"good……"
The next day, the sun shone brightly.
Meng Youcheng bought two amusement park tickets, took Jiang Yuming's hand, and walked inside...
"Uncle, do you know?"
The man turned and glanced at him. "What?"
"This is the first time you've taken the initiative to hold my hand..."
The boy smiled. "I was always the one holding your hand before, even when we went to bed. You're the dominant one, so why am I always the one taking the initiative?"
Meng Youcheng smiled and said, "Because... I'm lazy."
Looking at the massive equipment in front of him, Meng Youcheng asked, "What are you planning to do?"
"Pirate ship..."
The man took his hand and led him to the queue for the island boat. Meng Youcheng looked ahead; the queue was still quite long. He glanced around and asked, "Want some ice cream?"
Jiang Yuming nodded, "I want to..."
The man patted him on the shoulder, "Stay here, I'll go buy you ice cream..."
Then I jogged away from there, went to the ice cream stand next door, bought two ice creams, and then ran back...
He handed the ice cream to Jiang Yuming, saying, "You can have both."
"Huh? You..."
The boy was stunned. "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I don't really want to eat it."
Screams echoed from the pirate ship...
Listening to the deafening screams, Jiang Yuming thought, "This is terrifying..."
"Are you scared?" Meng Youcheng said with a smile. "How about we call it quits?"
"I'm not afraid..."
The boy smiled. "What's there to be afraid of? It's so exciting!"
The man smiled bitterly and remained silent.
Actually... I'm scared.
Ten minutes later, it was finally their turn.
Meng Youcheng nervously fastened his seatbelt. The boy next to him was extremely excited; heaven knows what he was shouting, but Meng Youcheng didn't really want to open his eyes...
The pirate ship is launching...
The man kept his eyes tightly shut. The boy noticed and told him to open them, but he completely ignored him.
After a few minutes, it finally stopped.
Meng Youcheng hurriedly went to unbuckle his seatbelt. Jiang Yuming looked at him and asked with a smile, "Uncle, are you scared?"
The man glanced at him. "How could that be? I..."
"Let's go ride the roller coaster!"
"Forehead……"
Meng Youcheng: I regret it.
……
After playing around, Meng Youcheng's legs were so weak he could barely stand. He was covered in cold sweat, looked extremely uncomfortable, and even vomited. However, he felt much better afterward...
Jiang Yuming quietly patted his back, took the water he had just bought from the side, and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle. I actually knew... you seem to be a little afraid of heights, but I... I didn't expect it to be this serious. Should I take you to the hospital to get it checked out?"
Meng Youcheng waved his hand, "I'm much better now, I don't need to go to the hospital..."
"I'm sorry, Uncle..."
Jiang Yuming anxiously touched his back. "Are you feeling particularly uncomfortable right now? Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"
Meng Youcheng straightened up, shook his head, and said, "No need..."
"Why don't we go home and rest for a while..."
The man didn't hesitate. "I've come all this way, it's no fun going home. I won't play those high-altitude games. Actually, I don't have anything to do."
"good……"
Jiang Yuming helped him up, "Let's sit down..."
"That one up ahead... the one where they throw beanbags, looks really fun..." Meng Youcheng didn't sit down, but kept his eyes fixed ahead. "Do you want to play?"
The boy followed his gaze and looked over. "Is it that one?"
"Um……"
"I'm fine, are you sure you don't need to rest?"
Meng Youcheng patted him on the shoulder, "I'm fine. Although I'm 30 years old now, it doesn't stop me from being... still vigorous in my old age."
Jiang Yuming smiled. "Then... let's go."
……
"Boss, how do you play this?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Jiang Yuming. "A sandbag costs ten yuan. It's just throwing whatever's in front of you down, and it's yours."
Which item do you want?
Jiang Yuming took out 100 yuan, grabbed ten sandbags, and looked at Meng Youcheng beside him, "I'll knock them down for you..."
Meng Youcheng curled the corners of his lips into a smile. "Authentic?"
"Of course... what's so difficult about that? Don't you trust me?"
The boy lightly tossed the sandbag in his hand. "I guarantee you'll hit it every time. Tell me, which one do you want?"
The shop owner next to him couldn't help but feel scared. "Was he from the military? Was he professionally trained in this?"
"No……"
Jiang Yuming smiled. "I think this kind of thing must be really simple..."
Meng Youcheng pointed to the telescope in the distance, "That...see that? I want that telescope..."
"OK..."
Jiang Yuming gripped the sandbag tightly, glanced at the binoculars in the distance, and then, with a burst of energy, threw it with all his might, like a shot put...
The sandbag traced a perfect arc in the air, veering precisely off the battlefield...
Meng Youcheng couldn't help but laugh...
The shop owner next to him also laughed...
Jiang Yuming was immediately puzzled. "No... what... what happened? How could it go astray? I clearly aimed correctly!"
Meng Youcheng stepped forward, picked up a sandbag, and tossed it lightly. "Let me demonstrate for you. You can't use brute force with this; you have to use your wits, like this..."
The man aimed for a moment, then gently tossed the sandbag, which flew out and accurately hit the binoculars, bringing them down...
"Do you understand?"
Jiang Yuming looked on incredulously, "No, you..."
The boss, watching from the side, was stunned. "You're an expert!"
Meng Youcheng picked up another beanbag. "When I was little, there was a kid next door whose mom bought him a toy gun. I was pretty close to him, and he often let me play with it. At first, I used the toy gun to shoot bottles, and later I shot bottle caps. We gradually became friends..."
The man tossed it gently again, hitting another object...
"Maybe it's related to this?"
Jiang Yuming looked somewhat annoyed. "Sigh, I thought I could hit it, but I didn't expect you to be so good, Uncle..."
Nine shots were fired, and all hit.
The boss went inside and brought everything out, ready to give it to them...
Meng Youcheng refused, saying, "There are too many, I'm too lazy to carry them all. Just give me the binoculars..."
The boss was stunned. "But, these things..."
"I didn't really want any of these things, I just wanted to... show off a little in front of my boyfriend."
The boss was stunned...
Jiang Yuming, standing beside him, looked at him in disbelief. "Uncle, you..."
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, they left the amusement park and passed a pet store...
Meng Youcheng grabbed Jiang Yuming's arm. "Didn't you say you wanted to get a pet? Do you want one?"
The boy stared at him blankly, "Is it okay?"
"You can raise it if you want..."
The man pulled him towards the pet store. "A kitten or a puppy doesn't live long. If you adopt it, you have to be responsible for it. You have to arrange everything for its daily life. Since you've decided to adopt it, you absolutely can't let it suffer, understand?"
Jiang Yuming hesitated for a long time, but didn't say a word.
After looking around the pet store, the owner came over. Meng Youcheng looked at the tabby cat in the cage and asked, "This seems to be the only tabby cat in your store, right?"
"yes……"
The shop owner sighed. "I found this cat. It was raining heavily that day, and it was all alone there, so I took it home. But don't worry, I've checked everything I needed to, and it's perfectly healthy..."
"It's very obedient, doesn't make a fuss, eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, it's extremely obedient."
Meng Youcheng glanced at Jiang Yuming beside him, "Want it?"
"want to."
……
"I'd like to name my little tabby cat 'Chengming' (meaning 'Famous')."
Meng Youcheng turned to look at him. "Why?"
"Because Cheng is you, and I am Ming; you are its Cheng father, and I am its Ming father."
The man paused for a few seconds, then said, "If you like it, that's good...?"
When night fell, the little tabby cat fell asleep...
Jiang Yuming held Meng Youcheng in his arms. He was very well-behaved today and didn't cause any trouble...
At two o'clock in the morning, Meng Youcheng got up, while Jiang Yuming still had his eyes closed...
A tear rolled down the corner of the boy's eye...
Meng Youcheng noticed it, but didn't say anything.
The man picked up his suitcase and left...
……
Sitting on the boat, Meng Youcheng threw his phone into the sea. He had deleted everything that could contact him...
Two months later, Jiang Yuming won the Best Actor award, and on that same day, he announced his retirement from the entertainment industry.
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host, mission complete!]
Holding the gold medal, tears welled in Jiang Yuming's eyes. "Meng Youcheng, see you in the next dungeon."
Jiang Yuming's Diary
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
My brother passed away, and so did Cheng. I followed their wishes and buried their ashes together.
They gave me all their shares, and I merged the two groups and renamed them Shih Hsing Group.
I spent a whole year eliminating dissidents, merging their businesses more effectively, and firing those who opposed me one by one. I put in a lot of effort...
In other people's eyes, I am very aloof, not talkative, but ruthless and decisive when it comes to doing things, and I never hesitate to do anything.
But every night, I always think of that familiar figure, and I always miss our past in that dilapidated house...
After my brother spoke with my uncle, I noticed something amiss. I found the coffee shop owner and asked for the security footage from that day…
I originally wanted to confront my brother, but I hesitated.
Situ Ming said something quite right: I am a member of the Jiang family, destined to experience unfairness. This is the fate I must bear, and the process I must go through...
This can be considered as repaying my brother's kindness.
After my mother passed away, my father completely ignored me. It was my older brother who took care of me. Although there was no love involved, at least it was a debt of gratitude.
I let the person I loved most go...
It's not because I don't love him, but because he shouldn't have to endure all of this...
In the business world, everything is fraught with undercurrents, far more ruthless than the entertainment industry. Before my foundation is solid, those closest to me will suffer the most harm...
He doesn't have the surname Jiang, so he shouldn't have to endure this.
Now that things have finally settled down, I want to go find him, but no matter where I go, I can't find him anywhere.
Chengming had grown up; it had only met its father once before being abandoned...
Both it and I are pitiful.
Chengming is nothing like me. He spends all his time eating and sleeping. I often tell him, "If I die one day, how can I entrust this huge family business to you?"
It would always give me a disdainful look, then find a comfortable spot and continue sleeping...
One night, I really missed my uncle, so I took some of his old clothes and went to find Chengming...
I told it to sniff around and see if it could find Uncle, and find out where he lives now. Because I really miss your city dad so much.
Chengming got angry with me...
I feel wronged. If Uncle finds out, he'll definitely scold you, right?
I sent him a lot of messages, saying that I'm now firmly established and no one dares to bully us anymore. Please come back, Chengming and I miss you very much.
Although that lazy cat sleeps all day, I can still sense that it's thinking about its city dad.
Uncle, I feel like I'm going crazy if you don't come back soon. Nobody wants to talk to me, and I can't find anyone to confide in. In my world, you're all that's left.
Where are you?
One day, while on a business trip abroad, I spotted a familiar figure in a bar…
This time, I won't let you leave me again.
[The second part of the story ends here. There are extra chapters, but they need to be written completely. Also, the extra chapter takes place three years later, and the story involves a chance encounter at a bar.]
[It was originally supposed to be two pages, but since the next chapter is about a new dungeon, I'll leave it until tomorrow to start writing.]
[This new instance is different from the previous two; it's a world I created. There are many fight scenes, and both characters are powerful. Meng Youcheng is still the dominant one, the strongest general in human history, while the submissive one is a super villain.]
[Note: The character is frivolous and lacks manners; more details will be revealed tomorrow.]
