In the evening, Gu Mingzhu still went to Gu Qichen's room.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qichen had already gone to bed.
It was pitch-dark in the room.
Even the curtains of the French window were tightly drawn.
Gu Mingzhu didn't know when Gu Qichen had picked up such habits.
Nowadays, when he was in an emotional breakdown, he would either work like a maniac or sleep for an entire day.
At least, he has quit smoking and drinking now.
That was because of his stomach bleeding from excessive drinking, and pneumonia from adding smoking on top of an existing illness.
Gu Mingzhu was so heart-broken, she wished she could take all his pain on herself.
But she couldn't help him, and what's worse, all of this was caused by herself.
The mistakes she had made at a young age finally caught up with her, but instead of punishing her it punished Ah Chen.
Gu Mingzhu turned on the light.
The sudden brightness made Gu Qichen feel dazed.
