Chi Xingye eventually left, releasing him, turning around, and completely disappearing from his heartbroken sight...
Helian Chengyan stood alone in the huge hall, looking in the direction she had left, unaware of how long he had been standing there.
As if suddenly coming back to himself, he roughly pulled off the tie that Chi Xingye had knotted for him, his belt, removed his overcoat, shirt, and trousers... Finally, even the watch she had placed on his wrist was taken off and violently smashed against the closet, instantly rendering the globally limited edition, exorbitantly prized watch useless.
Helian Chengyan put on a new suit, slowly, piece by piece.
As if this way, he could completely forget, all the illusions of happiness she had brought him today.
As if this way, he could stop longing for her thoughtful and gentle embrace, resembling that of a wife's tenderness.
If he kept repeating this, he could become cold and unfeeling, no longer vulnerable to her heartlessness.
