"I think I made a mistake. I think…I hurt my friend."
Lin JinYan looked at the lovely girl with tears glistening from her eyes and he felt a sudden pang of guilt. He had not anticipated that such a small matter would even come to have an adverse impact on Su Ning. It was obviously the friend's own issue that she was unable to handle a simple rejection. For goodness sake, how could he be expected to accept every girl's confession. But to think that Su Ning would blame herself for her friend's heartbreak, she is far too kind for this world.
"It's alright. NingNing, it's not possible to control other people's feelings. I would have rejected your friend's confession nonetheless," Lin JinYan kindly explained after he enveloped Su Ning in a warm hug.
"But..but if I had realized sooner and warned her," Su Ning protested softly. She didn't resist Lin JinYan's embrace; instead, Su Ning simply rested her chin on his shoulder and found comfort that way.
