He lowered his head in apology to each of them: "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry."
"Miss Ye, I'm sorry."
"I've spoiled everyone's mood."
He stood alone in front of the dining table, facing the sumptuous feast, facing everyone seated, his tone was somber: "Originally, friends gathering to eat and drink is a joyous thing. I initially came here with the desire to be happy with everyone."
"But I can't bring myself to be happy."
"I genuinely wanted to drink and make merry with everyone, but I opened my mouth and couldn't utter a pleasant word."
He reached out and pressed his hand against his chest: "I am at a loss for words, my heart is filled with sorrow!"
Zuo Guangshu looked at him very seriously: "Brother Chu, if there's anything, speak up, there is always a solution. Must you display such a demeanor?"
Chu Yuzhi met his gaze, tugged at the corner of his mouth, then shook his head: "Brother Guangshu, I am not sad for myself. I am not in pain for myself."
