Shen Sheng didn't force Gu Shi to answer and just sipped his tea.
"… Shen Taizi, I – " Gu Shi spoke.
But, Shen Sheng placed his cup down on the table, which made a crisp sound that hit Gu Shi's heart, which suddenly felt heavy. Gu Shi could feel that what Shen Sheng is about to say is definitely not good. And, it was as he expected.
"I neither have a past or a future, and only have a present, but – " Shen Sheng spoke. " – those old fogeys see me as sinful." He said.
Gu Shi didn't speak.
"Before, I had been thinking why they hate me… it was only then that I found the answer." Shen Sheng looked at Gu Shi who lowered his head. "I am simply just an eyesore to them. In short, my entire existence irritates them." he said.
Gu Shi took a deep breath.
"No need to feel sad for me." Shen Sheng smiled when he saw that Gu Shi's expression doesn't look good. "It is they who are the hateful ones, not me." He said.
