Fu Tingzhou often thought that if he could have realized earlier, just a bit earlier, that Tang Xi was the woman who saved him, then none of this would have happened.
He found out too late.
He paid too little attention to Tang Xi.
All consequences stemmed from his sinful causes.
He appeared cold and calm, his face expressionless, showing neither sadness nor joy, but the true pain inside was known only to himself.
Only Fu Tingzhou himself knew that Tang Xi's departure was like a steel needle piercing his heart, hurting everyday, moving deeper with each breath, growing more painful.
People say time heals all wounds, but his longing for her only deepened.

After Fu Tingzhou was discharged from the hospital, he was sent back again a few days later.
He drank until his stomach bled and collapsed in Qingfeng Garden.
Dozens of empty bottles were scattered on the ground, and the ash-colored carpet was soaked with blood.
