"Because I saw in your eyes hatred and determination," Chen Tian said, his smile widening.
"Eh?!" Gong Shun's expression changed from confusion to surprise.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly.
Chen Tian's voice was filled with intensity. "I saw the fire burning within you, Gong Shun. The fire that fuels your desire for revenge is something that I'm familiar with." Chen Tian said, his words echoing in the quiet room.
"Maybe you could hide it from that dog, but you can't hide it from me," Chen Tian continued, his gaze piercing through Gong Shun's facade.
"I know what it's like to carry the weight of vengeance, to let it consume you and drive you forward." Gong Shun stared at Chen Tian, his walls crumbling.
"Sigh..." A heavy sigh escaped Gong Shun's lips as he finally allowed himself to let go of the facade he had been hiding behind for so long.
