Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 - 7 Little Uncle

The dead man stands alive before you, especially having witnessed Tang Mingli's gruesome condition with your own eyes, even if he is truly alive, your mind involuntarily conjures up the image of his death.

His skull was smashed open, brain matter lay exposed, blood covered all his features, one hand broken, both legs snapped.

That scene, even now, Tang Yue feels her entire body prickle with goosebumps when she thinks of it.

"Tang Yue, are you alright?" Tang Jun, drenched in water, half-lay on the shore. At that moment, he felt the approach of death, it was Tang Yue who had thrown herself into danger to save him.

To this sister he always had a disdain for, it was as if Tang Jun was seeing her for the first time.

"I'm fine."

Tang Yue shook her head, coming back to her senses, all she felt was that even the water in the heat of this summer's day seemed cold, she asked nonchalantly, "Uncle, when did you get back?"

She stood in the deep water, leaning against the shore, hiding most of her body in the water. This way, it was less likely to have a wardrobe malfunction. She didn't dare to look straight at Tang Mingli, so she shifted her gaze around. But upon seeing the tall figure standing on the shore, her whole body was struck as if by lightning.

Mo Siyu?

No, this was the younger Mo Siyu, compared to the lofty Mr. Mo of before, he had an air of youthfulness, and his eyes were not constantly shadowed by the weight of the world.

"I came back today," Tang Mingli answered, seeing Tang Yue staring at Mo Siyu, he introduced with a smile, "This is my classmate, also my brother, Mo Siyu, he's into driving these days, he's been to many places."

Tang Mingli spoke proudly, then introduced, "This is my niece, Tang Yue, and this is her brother, Tang Jun."

Tang Jun immediately said, "Hello, Uncle Mo."

Uncle Mo.

Tang Yue really couldn't bring herself to say that title.

Tang Mingli was six years older than she was; Mo Siyu was also six years older.

She closed her eyes. Mo Siyu's rescue of her was clear in her mind, and now, to call him Uncle Mo...

The shift in identity was too abrupt.

Tang Yue lowered her head; the sunlight fell on his figure. It seemed like he was coated with a layer of golden light, so unreachable.

"Tang Yue, greet him," Tang Mingli glared at her, finding it novel that the Tang Yue of today was finally not like a hedgehog anymore.

"..." Tang Yue pretended not to hear.

"You can call me 'Uncle', or 'Uncle Mo'," Mo Siyu's voice was pleasant to the ear. He squatted down, and it happened he could see Tang Yue's smooth forehead. Her glance at him earlier was overly complicated; it was as if she recognized him, or rather, it was inconceivable.

Mo Siyu examined her, he was certain, they had never met before.

"Uncle," Tang Yue quickly uttered, not looking at Mo Siyu, as if she was calling Tang Mingli 'Uncle'. She turned to Tang Jun on the side, "Tang Jun, where are your clothes?"

Her clothes were wet, and she was only wearing a short sleeve. If she were to get out of the water, it might be that everything would be exposed.

"Here you go." Tang Jun obediently passed his clothes to her.

Only then did Tang Mingli belatedly remember that his niece was also in Senior High now, sixteen years old, and she knew embarrassment.

"Tang Jun, take your friends and leave." Tang Mingli started to lead Tang Jun and the others away from the riverbank. At this time, Mo Weidong and the others were chattering away, all expressions of relief were heard in their conversation.
