Moreover, he knew deeply that he and Shen Xingchen would never be supported no matter what.
He had never entertained such thoughts.
Sitting behind the door crying for a long time, Shen Xingchen fell ill the next day, both catching a cold and running a fever.
Madam Shen said it was all Shen Li's fault, that she hadn't watched Shen Xingchen properly outside, letting Shen Xingchen drink alcohol.
Shen Xingchen still defended her, still said it had nothing to do with Shen Li.
During the days Shen Xingchen was sick, Shen Li returned home on time, but after Shen Xingchen recovered, Shen Li also moved out of the house.
He feared that staying at home would give Shen Xingchen illusions.
So, he had to cut off those illusions of Shen Xingchen.
Shen Li moved out, and that summer, Shen Xingchen fell into deep depression, helping Gu Nanyan and learning from him.
Despite putting on a happy facade every day, she still couldn't feel genuinely happy.
