Dumbstruck, Gong Jie merely frowned and kept mum.
Yun Shishi gradually fell back into her seat with her head bowed and shoulders shuddering slightly.
She heard her brother saying to her, "Give up, sis! Leave him, alright?"
"…"
"Sis, it's impossible between the both of you!"
He sat back down and gently placed his warm palms over her hands. "Come back home with me! I'll let you know that you deserve better!"
"What's better?!"
She shook her head in perplexity, however. "Xiao Jie, tell me then; what's the best?"
"…I can't answer you."
"That's because you've never loved someone before."
He was rendered completely speechless.
Indeed, for all these years, he had never once loved anyone.
What was love?
He did not know at all.
He could not understand the need for marriage or the reason why two people stayed together for life.
To him, women were nothing more than unfathomable existences.
