Perhaps it's the wine. Perhaps it's the stress of the long day in so
unfamiliar a place. Perhaps it's just finally having Wen Kexing back at his
side where he belongs. Zhou Zishu's eyes burn, and he has to look away.
"If you can-- If there is someone here who can help me--"
He takes a breath.
"Senior Ye's help can't reach us here, in any case." And even if Wu Xi
miraculously showed up, Zishu knows that he's ruined any chance of being
able to be saved. The moment he forced the Nails out of his body, he knew.
"I don't want to die, Lao Wen. We have to watch your girl get
married and have a fat, bouncing boy. Chengling still needs so much
training before he can take on the legacies he's inherited. There is so
much of the world for us to see, so much wine for us to drink... If there
is someone who can help me, then I'll pay whatever price I need to for it."
