Fu Shang made his decision.
âSince my mission has been completed, I choose to leave this world. Thatâs fine, right?â
System 677 flashed.
[ host, Are you sure? ] Youâve never done this before, not to mention that the heavenly Dao is still here. ]
Fu Shangâs curled eyelashes drooped.
She suddenly smiled.
âItâs because heâs here that Iâm leaving.â
âIn his eyes, Iâm the murderer of his parents. This is something that can not be changed.â
âNow, he has given up on revenge because he has fallen in love with me. However, if thatâs the case, heâll live with his conscience for the rest of his life. He wonât be able to escape.â
âHe will suffer for the rest of his life.â
Fu Shangâs dark eyes looked out of the window at a certain place. Her eyes were empty for a moment, but more than that, there was helplessness.
âBesides,â
âI donât like the him in this world, so why should we force ourselves to be together? Both of them were in pain ⦠Thereâs really no need for that.â
System 677 was silent for a while.
[host, have you really considered it? [are you going to teleport away now?]
Fu Shang thought for two seconds.
âLetâs wait for another day. I want to say goodbye to him.â
System 677 replied, [ okay. ]
***
On the night that she made her decision, Fu Shang stood by the window for the entire night. No one knew what she was thinking.
Because she had not slept for the whole night, her face did not look very good. She looked a little pale and Haggard, and there were small patches of black and blue under her eyes.
The next morning, Yu Shen noticed something was wrong with her during breakfast.
âWhatâs wrong?â
The manâs long fingers that were holding the knife and fork paused and he looked at the woman sitting across the table.
Fu Shang lowered his eyes.
âItâs impossible for us to be together,â
Yu Shenâs grip on his knife and fork tightened. He didnât ask why, because he knew what Fu min meant.
âThere are too many things between us.â
She sighed, her eyes distant.
âI think Iâve made myself very clear,â Yu Shen said.
âI donât want to pursue the previous matter. That accident wasnât your intention. My parents also decided to go to the banquet at the last minute. That was just an accident.â
Yu Shen emphasized his last sentence.
âIf you want to blame someone, then you can only blame the fickleness of fate.â
Fu min couldnât get through to him and helplessly, she could only change her reason.
âBut I donât like you.â
âI donât want to be with you. I donât belong to you. Can you lock me up in this place for the rest of my life?â
Yu Shen lowered his eyes. âThereâs no harm in that.â
Fu Shang,â Youâre so stubborn.â
Angered by Yu Shenâs attitude, Fu Shang threw his fork to the ground, stood up, and turned to leave. However, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around. Her gaze towards Yu Shen was complicated and there was something he couldnât understand.
âYushen, you ⦠Iâm sorry.â
âI owe you this apology, whether itâs useful or not, whether you need it or not.â
âWe can only blame fate for everything. Fate made us meet at the wrong time. If nothing had happened, we might have been able to love each other.â
The manâs fingers trembled, but he did not turn his head around. He did not even look at Fu min.
But what Yu Shen didnât know was that â¦
This was actually the last time they could see each other.
She had left so resolutely.

After returning to the bedroom.
Fu Shang said to the air.
âLetâs go. I have no need to stay here any longer.â
