Qiu Yuehai and Gu Le were once brothers bound by life and death. Even among the Eight Talents, none shared a bond as deep as theirs. They were inseparable—until the day they weren't.
Qiu Yuehai was the first to walk away.
There were many rumors about why they fell out: love turned to hate, unrequited desires... Whenever Qiu Yuehai heard such gossip, he'd spit in disgust. "A bunch of bull!" he'd snarl.
In his eyes, the reason was simple: their friendship had become tangled with too many other things because of a girl.
Gu Le and the girl shared a secret, yet they chose to stay silent with him.
Why leave without a word? Why couldn't they be honest with him of all people?
The next time they met, all Qiu Yuehai felt was an overgrown bitterness, like weeds choking his heart.
You win.
He would not stoop to begging for answers. So he left first, head held high.
