Xia Qingwei grew silent for a long time before speaking again as she had no choice but to say, "Yes, we somehow met despicable men, but that doesn't mean that all men are like that. It's not that I want you to rely on someone, or be someone's plaything. I just don't want you to be biased against the idea of love in the future and refuse to go near it at all. I don't want you to keep all men at a distance just because both of us met scumbags. I hope you can stop being affected by them, and open your heart to like and accept someone. Your mom can't stay with you forever. While I'm still here, if you don't want to find someone else, that's alright, I can be with you. But when I'm no longer here, how can I not be worried about you for leaving you all alone? If you suffer grievances, you do need someone you can talk to. If you meet with trouble, you need someone who can encourage you at the side and hold your hand.
