Xi Zijun sighed, "No matter how clever I am, I cannot surpass you. I've said it before, in this world, only you and I are evenly matched, and you might even be a step ahead."
Gu Qichen seemed to sigh, "I once truly considered you a friend."
Xi Zijun said, "Friend? Gu Qichen, do you think I need you as a friend? I've stood by your side long enough as a friend. I can't believe after all these years, you haven't noticed how obsessed I am with you. I've waited so long, endured so much. Gu Qichen, I thought even if you were a stone, you'd be warmed by me. But it's really ironic, what did I get after all this time? Your schemes, your attempts to leave me for dead."
Gu Qichen spoke, "For the sake of all the years we've known each other, I don't wish to see you dead. Turn yourself in, Zijun. I have all the evidence of the things you've done over the years. If you confess, there's a chance for a lighter sentence."
