After I Was Gone, Mr. Song Said He Loved Me

Bai Yu met that arrogant and domineering man when he was twenty. However, every time afterward, as he looked at the scattered red bills on the bed, Bai Yu’s eyes turned red. “Mr. Song, can I… not take the money?” Song Yu adjusted his tie, casting a sidelong glance at the marked figure on the bed, and said indifferently, “Then what do you want?” Bai Yu swallowed, his delicate Adam’s apple moving, but he said nothing. The man approached the bedside, lifting the young man’s chin, his gaze growing deeper. “Bai Yu, always remember what you are. Not everyone can have at twenty what others can’t achieve in a lifetime.” With that, the man released his grip harshly and turned to leave the room. Watching the cold and resolute figure walk away, Bai Yu slowly lowered his head, tears falling uncontrollably onto the sheets, leaving a large, dark stain. … That night, Bai Yu lay on the floor, clutching his aching stomach as he called Song Yu. “Mr. Song, my stomach hurts…” “If your stomach hurts, go to the hospital. Why are you calling me?” Just as Bai Yu was about to say something else, another voice came through the phone. “Yu, I’m so sleepy, let’s not talk anymore.” “Alright, Nian.” Beep– Bai Yu stared blankly at the phone, feeling the salty, metallic taste rise from his stomach until he couldn’t hold it back anymore and vomited, staining the floor with crimson… … That night, Bai Yu disappeared completely from Song Yu’s life. Half a year later, at the Cancer Treatment Center, Song Yu burst into the ward like a madman, seeing the person he had been longing for being fed porridge by a rival, the two chatting and laughing, his heart twisted with pain. “Bai, I was wrong. Come back with me, please don’t leave me.” Bai Yu’s lips curled into a gentle smile, and he said softly, “Mr. Song, your Bai died on that night six months ago.”

## My Thoughts on After I Was Gone, Mr. Song Said He Loved Me Alright, let's dive into "After I Was Gone, Mr. Song Said He Loved Me." This novel definitely seems to be a rollercoaster, and not necessarily the fun kind. It's a drama, a tragedy, and a slice of life all rolled into one yaoi package, so buckle up. ### First Impressions Going in, I was expecting some serious angst, and it sounds like the novel delivers on that front. The tags alone – cold love interests, tragic past, sickly characters – set the stage for a potentially heart-wrenching story. It's got that R-15 rating, so I knew it wouldn't be all sunshine and rainbows. ### What Works Well The emotional impact seems to be a major draw for some readers. The transformation of Bai Yu, from a money-focused individual to someone almost devoid of life, seems to be a powerful element. The novel explores the complexities of clinging to first loves and the pain of not being "the one." The translator seems to have done a great job conveying the emotions, which is crucial for a story like this to resonate. ### Areas of Concern However, it seems that the characters' actions and the overall plot can be quite frustrating. The male lead's motivations, driven by revenge and a somewhat selfish arrogance, contribute heavily to the tragic events. The main character's naivete and impulsiveness also seem to be a point of contention, leading to a series of unfortunate events and missed opportunities. The lack of growth in both main characters is also a major drawback. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several significant plot points were revealed in the reviews, including the tragic fates of MC's family members as a direct result of the ML's actions. The MC's sister is also r*ped and traumatized and couldn't be cured, and his father accidentally dies to look for his daughter this is not the ML's fault but he put only a lil thought on things which led tragedy. The MC's family tragedy happened when ML detained MC due to ML's selfish reason. ### Final Verdict "After I Was Gone, Mr. Song Said He Loved Me" appears to be a deeply emotional but flawed novel. While the exploration of love, loss, and revenge is compelling, the frustrating characters and potentially anticlimactic plot may not appeal to everyone. If you're looking for a story that will tug at your heartstrings and don't mind some questionable character choices, this might be worth a read. However, be prepared for a potentially frustrating and unsatisfying experience. Overall, I'd say it's a mixed bag.
