Dong Huiying’s mind was in turmoil.
"Liang Zhichen..."
She seed like a frightened little deer.
Zhi Chen gently touched her head, "Don’t overcomplicate things. Many people like you, which only proves that you are excellent and deserving of affection. It’s not necessary to reciprocate every person’s feelings. Just be yourself, and be with whoever makes you happy, whoever wins your heart. Isn’t that a simple truth?"
"It’s okay to be a little selfish. Don’t be afraid of letting soone down because feelings can’t be forced. It’s not your fault to be liked; it’s not like you are forcing anyone to like you, so you can be a bit more lenient with yourself."
Dong Huiying hung her head low; her small hands twisted together. "I... I don’t know what to say." At that mont, she truly understood what the term ’big brother’ ant.
At that mont, Zhi Chen’s presence felt like that of a brother. There were so things she couldn’t say to Shujun, nor to Haoming and Yue Ning, but faced with a man’s broad and understanding gaze, it was as though she mustered a little courage.
She was very distressed.
"I don’t understand?"
Zhi Chen gave her an encouraging look, "Don’t understand what?"
Dong Huiying’s expression beca miserable.
"I don’t understand why Shujun... they, would fall for ? What kind of feelings are those?" Even her own flesh and blood didn’t care about her, only using her as a profitable tool, exploiting and squeezing her dry. So why could Shujun and others, who should have been strangers, manage to fall in love with her?
"My heart is probably like a parched piece of land; I don’t understand the taste of those feelings, nor do I know how to respond. In my mind, feelings should be reciprocal. But I am unable to reciprocate the kindness Shujun and others have shown , nor can I return feelings of the sa magnitude. I feel guilty; I feel a sense of wrongdoing."
Zhi Chen fell silent for a mont, "That’s why I’m telling you, don’t be too selfless; you can afford to be more selfish and be more forgiving towards yourself. If soone treats you well, just enjoy it. Otherwise, you could also ask Shujun what he would choose if you could never fall for him in this lifeti. We brothers are not as petty as you think. Even if you never develop feelings in the end, we would certainly not bla you."
Dong Huiying was stunned.
...
Liang Shujun noticed that Dong Huiying seed preoccupied and tried various ways to cheer her up. However, Dong Huiying seed distracted.
Occasionally, she would look at him deep in thought, as if crying over sothing.
"Baobao, what’s the matter?" He pouted his red lips, "You looking at like that is frightening."
Dong Huiying was dazed. "Why are you scared?" She appeared confused.
He laughed, "Because the way you look at seems like you’re evaluating ."
She hesitated for a mont and then casually asked, "Shujun, if I still can’t reciprocate your feelings in the end, what would you do?" She rembered what Zhi Chen had said to her.
Shujun, still smiling, glanced at her, and then replied in a relaxed manner, "Then I’ll just have to keep on trying."
"But what if... even if you keep trying, I still cannot reciprocate?"
Shujun wrapped his arms around her shoulders, "What bizarre things are you thinking about now?"
"Eh?"
"First, you need to understand sothing!"
"What is it?"
"If you don’t love , it only proves that I’m not good enough yet. It’s definitely not your fault; the problem lies with ."
