"Xiao Cheng, say something!"
Xiangzi smashed the bottle on the ground, the sound of shattering glass exploding in the air.
Xiao Cheng remained unresponsive.
He took another bottle of liquor from a nearby box, preparing to open it.
Xiangzi snatched the bottle away again and poured the liquor over him: "Speak up, Xiao Cheng!"
After a moment of silence, Xiao Cheng finally spoke: "I'm fine."
His voice was hoarse and deep, laced with exhaustion.
Xiao Cheng closed his eyes and collapsed onto the sofa.
Xiangzi trembled with anger: "What’s wrong with you?"
Xiao Cheng kept his eyes closed and did not respond.
Xiangzi took a deep breath, suppressing his rage: "Yong Nan called me to talk to you."
Xiao Cheng still kept his eyes closed, as if he hadn't heard him.
Finally unable to endure any longer, Xiangzi punched Xiao Cheng in the face: "Wake the hell up!"
Xiao Cheng turned his head from the blow, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
He raised a hand to wipe away the blood and slowly opened his eyes.
In those pitch-black eyes, there was a profound silence.
Xiangzi looked into his eyes, his heart felt as if it were being squeezed by something, almost suffocating from the pain.
“Xiao Cheng…”
Xiao Cheng looked at him and softly said, “I’m fine.”
He closed his eyes and stopped speaking.
38
When Xiao Cheng woke up, all he saw was white.
His head throbbed painfully, and all he could remember was drinking, vomiting, drinking, vomiting…
He couldn’t recall how much he had drunk or how much he had vomited.
All he remembered was that he had been drinking but had never truly been drunk.
“Are you awake?” Xiangzi’s voice came through.
Xiao Cheng turned his head and saw Xiangzi sitting in a chair beside him.
“Xiangzi…”
Xiangzi was about to get angry but was interrupted by Xiao Cheng’s sudden words—
“Yun Duo has left.”
Xiangzi was taken aback: “Left? What do you mean?”
“She is sick. Stomach cancer.”
“……”
“She’s gone, she doesn’t want me anymore.”
Xiangzi looked at Xiao Cheng, unsure of what to say.
He had never seen this side of Xiao Cheng.
In his memory, Xiao Cheng was calm, rational, mature, and steady.
But now, Xiao Cheng's eyes were filled with confusion and fear.
“On our wedding anniversary, I received a call, and she hasn’t been happy since.”
“She asked me if I could not go.”
“I didn’t answer her.”
“That night, after I left, she took a lot of sleeping pills.”
“Xiangzi, she was all alone, lying on the cold floor, waiting for death to come.”
“She left so lonely.”
Xiao Cheng's voice was soft and hoarse, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind.
Xiangzi listened quietly, feeling a pang in his heart.
He couldn’t imagine that such a gentle, kind, and beautiful soul would choose to end her life in such a way.
“What was she thinking while lying there?” Xiao Cheng stared at the ceiling, his eyes red.
"Will she hate me?"
"She should hate me."
"When she left, she must have been in so much pain, so helpless."
"She..."
Xiao Cheng suddenly stood up, grabbing Xiangzi's shoulders, and shouted, "Tell me, why wouldn't she wait for me? Why wouldn't she give me a chance?"
"She clearly said that she loved me and was willing to give everything for me!"
"She lied to me! She lied to me!"
"Xiao Cheng, calm down." Xiangzi struggled, trying to break free from Xiao Cheng.
However, Xiao Cheng was too strong; he couldn't escape.
"What was she thinking when she left? Tell me, please tell me!"
Xiao Cheng shook Xiangzi violently, his voice filled with endless despair.
