"..." He frowned. "What?"
"Don't go, don't go," he kept muttering.
Once Rong Shang heard him clearly, she realized that he was saying the same thing all along.
"Leave?" She smiled, her eyes sparkling. "Did I say I was leaving?"
You don't have it.
But you silently cut your wrists to commit suicide... if it weren't for the Blood Spirit Orb being taken by him.
She must have died a long time ago, right?
This world no longer exists, right?
The man shook his head, his voice low. "No, you don't."
His hands were still on her waist.
Rong Shang lowered her eyes and glanced at him, wondering what was wrong with him.
"Let's order food."
She echoed what he had just said.
Gu Xingchen did not react.
He was like a child abandoned by adults, exuding an aura of loss and helplessness.
Rong Chang was at a loss for what to do.
All I could do was nudge his shoulder and ask, "Are you going to eat or not?"
I'm feeling a bit irritable.
Rong Shang frowned and pulled Gu Xingchen's hand off her waist.
When he exerted force, the sleeve was slightly lifted, revealing a section of fair skin beneath, where bright red blood had already congealed.
Gu Xingchen was stunned for a moment.
His dark gaze paused.
She has already left.
As his hands fell down, his sleeves slipped down, concealing his blood-soaked wrists.
"I'll go make the call, you wait here."
A cool, pleasant voice came from ahead, and Gu Xingchen's delicate brows furrowed.
He didn't look up; he was lost in thought the whole time.
When Rong Shang returned after ordering her food, the man had already stood up. "I have something to do, I'll go back first."
"..."
A cool breeze carrying the sweet fragrance of jasmine wafted over.
As the man passed by her, Rong Shang glanced at him and saw that his face was gloomy and indifferent.
It seems you have something on your mind.
I don't understand, but I always feel like he acts a little strange at night.
Rong Shang pursed her lips and lowered her head, saying nothing.

The rain continued to fall throughout the night.
At the end of October, the temperature suddenly dropped.
Rong Shang didn't eat dinner until nine o'clock.
The room next door was quiet; it seemed Gu Xingchen had left and wasn't at the hotel.
She suddenly felt a little irritable and restless.
Remembering the Blood Spirit Pearl she had placed in the drawer, Rong Shang got up and walked over.
Before I could even open the drawer, my phone rang.
It was the unknown number that called her last night.
Rong Shang glanced at it; it was already past nine o'clock.
The man asked her to meet him at the beach on the west side of the city at eight o'clock.
More than an hour has passed now; you must be getting impatient.
No rush, Rong Shang slowly answered the phone.
The sound of pouring rain reached her ears, and before the other person could speak, Rong Shang coldly asked, "Where are you now?"
"Beachside in the west of the city".
The address has not changed.
The other party's attitude was relatively mild.
Rong Shang hummed in agreement and hung up.
...
9:30.
It was only two or three minutes after the call ended.
At that time, the beautiful sea-view rooms on the beach in the west of the city were lit up with warm white lights.
The man put away his phone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
When he turned around, he saw Liu Zhongxin with his hair slicked back on the luxurious sofa inside the room.
"Mr. Liu, she'll be here soon."
The man gently touched the pinky ring on his hand, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"What do you plan to do with her?"
"That stinky woman." Liu Zhongxin touched his head, which was still wrapped in a thick layer of white gauze.
Thinking about how badly that woman had messed with him last night, Liu Zhongxin felt a surge of anger.
"I'm going to kill her."
He grabbed the stun baton behind him with his backhand, his expression sinister and murderous.
