Over twenty years of living as an illegitimate child, he had felt resentment, but in the end, he accepted it.
But why, why couldn't his acceptance garner him even the smallest bit of what he desired, but instead, it pushed him step by step into a corner...
He just brushed past happiness.
"Ah--"
Jin Chenye held his head in his hands, howling in desperation like a beast on the brink.
The sound of despair was heartrending.
"Knock, knock--"
"Young master! Young master, what's wrong with you?"
"Young master, are you alright..."
The butler's voice rang outside the door, with the intermittent sounds of other people's footsteps.
"..."
Jin Chenye knelt on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, showing no reaction for quite a while.
"Young master, please open the door..."
The butler's worried voice grew louder outside the door. After a long period of silence, he ordered someone to fetch the spare key.
"Get lost--"
"All of you, get lost!"
