章 349: 05.18 This is new

"You don't trust me to return your sincerity. That's why you are afraid to even ask of it." LiFeng continued. "It's not just me, even with your friends, you would never ask them to handle you, ever, even if you are becoming hollow. Unless they reach out first .. you'll never even consider it. Like a natural disposition, you'll believe that they can't ever handle you, you'd be a heavy burden or they'd become one to you .. so you would never willingly give yourself over." For a moment, I stumbled on my steps, and as if he knew, he had already held my hand. We kept walking through this hollow white road.

Am I really like that? My heart right now is serene, like it has settled well with the words he said, as an absolute truth. If so, how does he even know when I don't?
