The Gu Xu in front of me, though filled with fervor, is as frail as a piece of paper, ready to be swept away by the wind at any moment.
In his pale face, his parched lips reveal severe dehydration, yet he can't quench his thirst with water.
His once bright and clear eyes, now filled with weakness and sorrow, express an air of resignation.
Gu Xu sighed and met Amo's determined gaze, pleading, "Amo, if you consider me a brother, let me go to the detention center. Once I confirm Jingzi is safe, I'll come back to recover."
"I ask you, do you know why Chen Jingzi was put in the detention center?"
"I don't need to know. All I know is that she must be feeling helpless there."
Amo felt a surge of anger rising in his chest.
"Do you fucking know that Chen Jingzi was arrested by the vice squad for having an affair with Jiang Tao?"
"I fucking didn't know." Gu Xu, seemingly mustering the strength from nowhere, yelled back in rage, "Why did you have to bring it up?"
