0221 - Lu Sheng is a genius in disguise? Really Lu Qing?
Lu Qing, standing nearby, could only watch in bewilderment. Lu Sheng's face flickered through a rapid series of emotions—despair, frustration, hopelessness—as though he were locked in a battle with his own inner demons. Lu Qing wanted to help, but how could he when there was no enemy he could see or fight?
Lu Sheng sat there, his shoulders slumped, his eyes hollow, a defeated expression plastered across his face. He felt the tears welling up, but even that felt stupid. What would crying solve? "Even my choice to cry is stupid," he thought bitterly, a knot of helplessness forming in his chest.
[Come on, Host. This is not the end. You're being too dramatic. Life isn't about everything playing out as you wish. That would be very boring.]
"I want boring," Lu Sheng muttered, his voice barely above a whisper, eyes staring vacantly at the ground.
