[At least I won't regret having lived this life]
A love-starved young master (top) x a sharp-tongued stray dog (bottom)
Top: *older* *cries easily* *mental illness (bipolar disorder)* *his aloofness is a form of self-protection*
Xie Shouyi: I cry, and someone comforts me!!

"The only person I've wronged is you. I'm sorry, Xie Shouyi. I might not make it back.
"My life is coming to an end. You have to live well.
"Live on, for both of us.
"Also, Xiao Su and you are a lot like me.
"Take good care of yourself, and raise Xiao Su until he's an adult for me.
"And one more thing:
"I love you."
