Lu Zihao became furious. "Never deride yourself like that ever again! Do you hear me? You're not pathetic!"
Long Jinjing didn't reply. A soft, sad smile lifted the corner of her lips but the effect didn't look pleasant. It made her appear more defeated instead.
"Jinjing, don't fall in love with me," he told her next.
"I already fell in love with you! I tried so hard, Nikolai! So hard! Do you understand?! I also didn't want this to happen! I did my best to…to suppress my f-feelings for you…but whenever we spend time together, I just found myself falling in love with you a little deeper."
It was clear that he didn't know how to respond to her confession and his lack of response cut through her. It hurt so much but she already expected this from the moment she realized that she had fallen in love with him.
