His eyes were filled with tears, as if he were about to cry at any moment.
"I thought I was heartless, but I..."
"No! Stop—it's all in the past! I don't want to hear it anymore!" I said, stopping him.
He composed himself.
"Just being able to see you every day is enough for me now!"
Then there was a moment of silence.
He would then enthusiastically share with me some domestic news. For example, the recent fierce struggle between the Qin and Wang families, with neither side willing to back down and each employing increasingly ruthless methods.

He nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, it's fine!"
Feeling somewhat relieved, I immediately followed up with, "What about Zhibai?"
Upon hearing this name,
He was clearly taken aback, remaining silent for a full two seconds.
Then, he slowly said, "He hasn't returned to the Qin family, so he should be safe and sound!"
I nodded slightly to indicate that I understood.
