Wu Chengyu’s Demise
1174 Words
The crowd went silent for a while, then one of the Chengyu maniacs screamed in delight.
“Kyaaaaaa! Chengyu won!”
It was only then that the crowd burst into cheers. Andrew stared at the screen in disbelief and unwillingness to admit defeat could be seen in his eyes, then Wu Chengyu patted his shoulder and whispered jokingly, saying
“Too bad. Buddy, I won. Your girlfriend might come to me on her own initiative if you continue to lose next time.” Wu Chengyu patted Andrew’s shoulder two times before coming over to the emcee to receive his reward. Andrew turned to look at Wu Chengyu, then a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes. Without further delay, he immediately got off the stage and headed back to the lobby. After the commotion died down, the event was replaced by special performers. Wu Chengyu, together with his close friends, got off the stage and headed back to the lobby as well.
When the event was over and almost all the audience were gone. Wu Chengyu walked out the exit and headed straight towards the parking lot. Humming his favorite tone, he cared freely to walk towards his car. Just as he was about to insert the key to his car’s keyhole, he suddenly heard a sharp slapping sound.
Wu Chengyu instinctively followed the source of the sound and saw two people 10 meters away from him, blocked by a black-coated car and only their upper bodies could be seen. It was a young woman with hot tears on her cheeks and a young man. Wu Chengyu squinted his eyes slightly and he was surprised.
The young man was actually Andrew Gilbuena, the opponent he defeated. Wu Chengyu wanted to move closer towards them when Andrew grabbed the young woman’s arms and started to beg.
“Catherine, please…don’t leave me! I swear! I will win next time! Please.” Andrew knelt down as he begged, shaking Catherine’s arms. Catherine sighed and forcefully brushed off his hands. She deeply sighed and looked at Andrew, who was still kneeling and sadly said, “I thought you'd finally understood what I wanted. But it seems that I was wrong. Do you think I wanted you to win? What I wanted is your attention and care! Ever since you started participating in these competitions you have started to neglect me. All I wanted was a little of your time…but you never.”
The young woman, Catherine, started to sobb once again. Her shoulders shuddered when she cried and every time the tears flowed down from her cheeks, she would sob even more.
“I. I.” Andrew wanted to speak, but he couldn’t find the words to say. After some time, he finally said a word.
“I am sorry.”
Hearing this, Catherine forcefully held back her tears and immediately wiped them off with the handkerchief in her hand. Her eyes were very red and swollen and after staring at Andrew for a while, she gritted her teeth and decisively said, “Andrew, I can’t take it anymore… I’m breaking up with you!.”
Hearing what Catherine said, Andrew’s world shattered and his ears buzzed like his eardrums had burst apart.
Even Wu Chengyu, who was eavesdropping from a distance, was greatly surprised and worried. Andrew’s heart almost stopped beating and his face paled.
“I… No. Cath…Plea. Please……...”
Andrew stuttered and a burst of hot stream of tears flowed down his cheeks. He wanted to grab Catherine’s arms but before he could, Catherine avoided his hands and ran away. Andrew staggered and wanted to chase after her but the shock he felt caused his legs to lose strength and he felt almost all of his body parts were numb. Catherine’s sudden declaration had greatly shocked Andrew. There was a reason why he had neglected Catherine and he realized that he was at fault, but he also firmly believed that what he did was not entirely wrong. His sacrifice and training in order to win competitions is for him to build a good future for them. Right now, he felt regretful that he wasn’t able to clearly explain his side. The sudden turns of events happened so fast that caused his head to be numb.
Not far away, Wu Chengyu finally felt regret in his heart. The guy who was supposed to be his friend was taunted by him and was bullied by him, now looked pitiful and the main culprit was him.
Wu Chengyu checked himself and reevaluated his actions in the past. His face contorted and he bitterly smiled. He walked closer to Andrew, wanting to apologize to him, but before he could do so. The silent Andrew suddenly pounced towards him like a mad tiger. As it turned out that Andrew had already long known Wu Chengyu’s presence, or it should be said that Andrew had planned to murder him all along.
But he experienced an intense heartbreak before he could do so. Wu Chengyu was startled and wasn’t able to react in time. He was pushed to the floor and then Andrew withdrew a sharp pen from his pocket and madly stabbed it towards Wu Chengyu’s chest. Wu Chengyu noticed the sharp pen with wide eyes, but before he could struggle, the sharp pen was already one inch near his clothes.
“Puchi,” the sharp pen punctured Wu Chengyu’s chest.
Before, Wu Chengyu could shout in pain or even groan. Andrew directly pulled out the sharp pen and madly stabbed Wu Chengyu’s chest like a possessed beast.
“Ahhhh! Die!.. Arrogant people such as you should die and stay in the yellow spring! Go and repent in your next life!” Andrew stabbed almost a hundred times until the sharp pen in his hand broke.
Wu Chengyu couldn’t even groan or speak anymore as mouthfuls of blood were gushing out from his mouth. The floor turned red from his blood and tears could be seen in Wu Chengyu’s eyes.
He was in pain; he felt an intense pain that he had never felt before. Wu Chengyu's almost lifeless eyes struggled to stare at Andrew, who had reddish eyes also looking at him. Wu Chengyu feels sad and regretful, not only due to his current plight, but also for Andrew. He realized that he never wanted Andrew to experience this, and he even planned to turn a new leaf and change for the better after he solved Andrew’s problem. But he never expected this situation. Before he could start atoning for the sins he committed, the life he had is now being dragged away by the god of death. The grief and unwillingness Wu Chengyu felt was so intense. He wanted to live but no matter how he struggled to maintain his consciousness, it still continued to slip away.
“Am I really going to die just like this?.......” Wu Chengyu thought.
The last scene he saw was Andrew being dragged away by the guards as his consciousness slowly faded.
