However, now the two of them are together, yet their happiness isn't as they had promised it would be.

Xia Yunsheng glanced at Ling Xiche and stepped inside the room...
The smell of alcohol overwhelmed her immediately; the room was littered with bottles, lying crookedly against one another.
During the time she had been away, he had actually drunk this much?
Cheng Yanzhi sat on the ground beside the sofa, his clothes disheveled and scattered. He wasn't his usual confident self; instead, he had become thoroughly defeated.
Xia Yunsheng walked over to him, accidentally kicking a bottle, startling him awake.
He lifted his head to look at her, his eyes like a bottomless void of pure black—completely devoid of light.
Xia Yunsheng asked, "Are you alright?"
His eyes felt like hands, effortlessly gripping her heart, making her momentarily forget how to breathe.
