Yanjing, riverside.
Ye Shikai walked alone by the river, night had fallen, and a cool breeze blew. Without Inner Strength now, he couldn't have forced his way out; perhaps Chen Yuxin worried about his mental state, so she unexpectedly agreed to his request. Speaking of which, Chen Yuxin's worry wasn't unfounded. Back when he was with Su Qingyu, he was never "peaceful," and if not for Su Qingyu's calm nature, they might have already quarreled and gone cold. But now... thinking about it doesn't mean much anymore.
Ye Shikai still looked haggard. After going through so much, his mindset had changed. Someone once said that when a person experiences many major events, the confusion inside them resolves naturally.
