Chapter 256: The Transaction

When Fu Shinian came out of the bath, what he saw was Su Mu sitting by the bedside, staring out the window in a daze. He called her twice, but she tuned him out, lost in her own world.

As he walked over and reached out to touch her face, he inadvertently saw the screen of Su Mu's opened phone, and everything became clear.

At that moment, Su Mu snapped back to reality and, noticing his gaze, asked,

"You know?"

"Yeah," Fu Shinian replied, withdrawing his hand. "Song Yi came over just to tell me this."

Su Mu fell silent. Fu Shinian sat down at the edge of the bed and took her hand, "What are you thinking? Talk to me?"

"It's nothing much, just that she was only 27. I feel it's such a pity," Su Mu said, her tone light but with an obvious hint of melancholy. "Although she and I were like fire and water, I still can't believe she's really gone."
