197 IN A SLUMP

After that night, Xue Guangxi did not return to Beijing yet. He spent a few days more in Indonesia following Kang Sola around behind the shadows.

One could say that he's adding more fuel to the fire and he's pretty much rubbing more salt to his wounds.

In those few days, he ceased to care about anything.

And oh, he had forgotten that he's still a student at the university, and the COO of Xue Shipping. With his mobile phone turned off, he had cut all communication from and towards the outside world. Consequently, he was not updated on what was happening in Beijing and the dilemma his family was facing related to him, because of him, even.

There he was, intoxicated with alcohol almost always, with nothing productive to do other than follow Kang Sola around. He couldn't even make his presence known to her because once she found out, it would be the end of his chronicles as a hidden shadow, a stalker.
