The Strongest.

Jihai continued to stare at the departing figure, his eyesight blurring and his heart aching.

You are weak!

Look at me Jihai, I am blind!

You couldn't even protect your own mother and now, you couldn't protect me!

He clutched his head in pain, unable to get rid of the voices that resounded in his head as they filled him suicidal thoughts.

All his life, he has never asked for anything knowing everything must be achieved with determination and hard work. And so, he strived for Chunlan's affection trying to cement his place in her heart.

In her family.

And in her life.

He ignored the numbing pain spreading through his body as he punched the wall, cursing his fate.

His eyes became disoriented as he felt lightheaded.

It is my fault. I deserve it.

Chunlan took him into her home, gave him her friends and her heart yet he couldn't even protect her. Recently, she even treated him nicely, more than she had ever done since they started dating.

He was at fault.
