"But I really acted in a moment of desperation. Do you know what it feels like when I see the person I love suffering for another man?"
Shen Haoxuan released Mi Lu's hand as he spoke, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hold you back. I just wanted you to know that I'm not... I don't even know what to say anymore."
Shen Haoxuan's words were becoming incoherent. Though he had changed into clean, neat clothes and had combed his hair,
the defeat and exhaustion he felt were truly manifesting, not just because of his disheveled appearance.
Mi Lu listened to Shen Haoxuan's words, but said nothing in the end and left.
Watching Mi Lu's retreating figure, Shen Haoxuan sighed and eventually left as well.

"Uncle, do you think Brother Haoxuan can explain things to Elk and will she forgive him?" Luo Qingli was somewhat worried.
"What do you think? You know Mi Lu better," Gu Yuying bounced the question back to her.
