Chapter 1039: Dong Estate
Xianle had chattered on for quite some time. Without waiting for Chen Changsheng's reply, she stood up and walked silently forward.
She left just like that.
Chen Changsheng watched her retreating figure.
He thought he might never see this girl again.
The little brat who had stolen play scripts in the Library Pavilion back then had now chosen a path of death for herself. Perhaps she would quietly pass away along the road, or perhaps she would become a wandering ghost without a single worldly tie.
That play script was also nearing its end.
"She wants to die..." Ruyi murmured, then asked, "Aren't you going to stop her, Uncle Chen?"
Chen Changsheng could not answer her. In truth, he was exactly like Xianle. Just like her, he lived for the sake of others. Hardship wracked his body, devastating and tormenting him until every day dragged on like a year.
He did not even dare to ask himself: if, far in the future, everyone he cared for and everyone who cared for him were gone, would he choose this same end, just as Xianle had?
