"I chose this path because of him. This path is so hard, so bitter, yet I'm not afraid. What I fear is that he doesn't love me."
Li Man leaned sadly against Qin Mu's shoulder, her hands covering her tear-streaked face, and her hoarse voice finally slipped out through her fingers.
Qin Mu didn't know what to say.
Hadn't she once been afraid, too? Afraid enough to not dare pursue what she wanted?
Li Man was far more courageous than her, but Li Yu didn't have the resolute heart of Mu Yichen.
Qin Mu didn't know why this was the case. She could only gently smooth the woman's trembling back and silently accompany her in this moment.
Later, when Li Man finally cried herself out and left, Qin Mu waited at the hotel entrance for Mu Qingxin to come out. As it turned out, Mu Qingxin was drunk.
Hearing her laughter, Qin Mu turned her head and saw her being supported by a female classmate and a male classmate. She looked as though she didn't even recognize herself anymore.
