That night, Xing Han's words kept playing repeatedly in Sam's mind, like a broken record.
'If she hops away just because you confess, then either chase after her or let her go'
In the end, Sam never did go and ask Beatrice about Betty's likes and dislikes.
After Xing Han's talk, he had a lot of things to process in his mind. The Tan Family Tradition was shocking enough, but it made him also think about the circumstances Xing Han was in - and his own.
Essentially, Xing Han didn't have a choice about who he married yet, he was not being down about it or negative about it. He didn't look happy about it, but he accepted it and was living life as best as he could. Coming to Sakura Academy and all, was part of his effort in doing something for himself.
Carpe Diem?
Sam scoffed at himself. He had the thought but his actions clearly proved otherwise. Xing Han was right. Again.
Sam punched his pillow in frustration.
