Chapter 169: Wine didn't intoxicate, the person intoxicates
Xiao Xu's hand held the wine cup as he looked at the moon in the night sky and the speckled stars. Suddenly, he felt his life was a vast emptiness.
For almost twenty years, he scrupulously abided by his duty. He never took one step over the rules. But no one ever said one sentence to him, you did very well.
What he got was either the sound of being cursed or indifferent treatment.
With the wine cup, he faced the peaceful and clear night.
The first cup, offered to the heavens, let him create the unknown road he hasn't walked.
He drained the cup in one gulp.
The second cup, offered to the royal family. Showing his respect to his ident.i.ty but forgetting to add the warmth of a family.
He drained the cup in one gulp.
The third cup, offered to himself. So many empty years of still stubbornly insisting on scrupulously abiding by his duties.
