Wu Hao averted his gaze from the school, lowered his head, and took a deep puff of his cigarette. He then stubbed it out and tossed the butt into the trash can beside him. He continued to stand in the rain with the umbrella for a while before he stepped onto the wet ground and returned to his car.
Just as he was about to start the engine, his brows furrowed.
He was all too familiar with this torturous feeling in his body. It was his drug addiction acting up again.
Recently, he had been tormented by the pain of his drug addiction countless times. Each time, it was more painful than the one before, and each time it lasted longer than the one before.
This time, however, it was more savage than any of the previous times, and it was unbearable for him.
In the end, Wu Hao couldn't take it anymore. He reached out his hand and forcefully pulled out a handful of his hair. His scalp was bleeding, but he showed no signs of letting up.
Just as Wu Hao was in so much pain that he wished he could step on the accelerator and slam into the bridge in front of him, the torturous addiction in his body finally subsided.
As if he had just escaped death, he sat in the driver's seat for a long time, barely breathing, before he forced his eyes open and met his own reflection in the rearview mirror.
A stream of bright red blood flowed down his forehead, making his pale face look hideous.
He stared blankly at himself in the mirror for a long time before he slowly lifted his hand and touched the rearview mirror.
Was the person inside really him?
I'm wearing a luxurious outfit that makes me look dignified, but why do I feel like I look more like a human than I did when I was poor and dejected?
If I were still the ordinary Wu Hao, I would have married Xu Wennuan by now, even though I didn't have that much money, and they might even have a beautiful and obedient child.
But now? So what if I'm rich?
In the end, he still got himself involved and ended up like this … Was this really the life he wanted to live, the life he wanted to walk?
Even if I get Xu Wennuan, I won't be able to have a good life with her now that my drug addiction is acting up.
What's more, her heart was clearly not with him anymore ….
Suddenly, Wu Hao heard Xu Wennuan calling out his name in her sleep. "Bancheng, Zero Degrees, Zero Degrees, Bancheng …"
"You and I have known each other for more than ten years. In fact, I met her even earlier than you. But after ten years, you left her. Although I also left her, I still protect her."
"In the virtual world that she doesn't know about, I will use my original identity to accompany her."
"Because she is a girl that I am willing to exchange my life for."
"I've already sacrificed myself to this extent for her, so I have to make my sacrifice more worthwhile."
Lu Bancheng's words and Xu Wennuan's cries in her dreams were like a curse that kept reverberating in Wu Hao's ears.
Wu Hao didn't know how many times it had reverberated in his mind. He could clearly see that somewhere in the depths of his heart, a crack was slowly opening up, and it was gradually disintegrating.
If it hadn't been for me, Lu Bancheng wouldn't have had to spend his days in a wheelchair, and he wouldn't have tried so hard to push Xu Wennuan away, and Xu Wennuan wouldn't have had to drink to drown her sorrows and cry so bitterly.
Everything started because of me … I'm the victim, but I'm also the main culprit.
…
After Wu Hao gathered his thoughts, he drove to the drug rehabilitation center.
