"What does it have to do with me." Su Hao's tone was despairing, heaving for breath as if he were a dog that had lost its home.
"Brother... Does Sister Jinyan's hope, have anything to do with you? Do you think Sister Jinyan hopes to see you like this now? She's still at the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion, being taken care of by Sister Han."
"Her hopes, I can't do anything! I couldn't marry her, couldn't give her the sense of security she wanted, couldn't give her a home..."
Su Hao's eyes reddened, tears streamed down his noble nose, his eyes filled with self-reproach and regret!
