Mu Yuan had always felt that he was considered to be stronger. Even if he was rejected, he could still accept it. It was just a one-sided crush. He did not expect Jack to give him the same feelings, nor did he expect Jack to respond to him even a little. However, he still felt embarrassed and in pain as if he had been stripped naked. He stood in the pool, and his head almost drooped into the pool. He felt guilty, lost, helpless, and disappointed. He was extremely disappointed in himself.
Jack leaned against the cold wall of the pool. He seemed to want to say something, but he could not say it. Mu Yuan heard the sound of water, the sound of the cupboard being opened, followed by footsteps. The entire bathhouse returned to silence. Drip, drip. It was extremely quiet. All of this was like a dream after he had drunk. When he woke up from the dream, nothing was left.
It was like a dream, a dream of self-satisfaction.
