Regret, guilt, love, grief—those tangled emotions kept tormenting Xi Jiu's heart. That day he had clearly saved Ruan Qi, yet who could have thought his little treasure would be so foolish, actually trading her life for his and bringing him back from the dead.
On that night underground, holding Ruan Qi's corpse in his arms, Xi Jiu had wanted nothing more than to die with her. But the moment he remembered this life of his was exchanged with hers, he just couldn't do it.
This was a life bought with the sacrifice of the woman he loved. Even if he didn't want to live, he had to grit his teeth and live on.
After a month, Xi Jiu finally voiced the pain in his heart. Nie Heng, who cried easily, bawled his eyes out after listening. Ruan Munan's eyes also reddened as he let out a long, heavy sigh.
