Mae brought up a past incident at school where he had proposed to Jade. Her emotions seemed to be entangled, and Liang struggled to understand what he had done wrong. He attempted to read her thoughts, but she remained silent, making it difficult for him to grasp her true feelings and concerns.
Liang sighed inwardly, realizing that there was more to the situation than met the eye. He knew that gaining Mae's trust and breaking through her emotional barriers would take time and patience. With empathy in his voice, he gently asked, "Mae, please talk to me. Let's figure this out together. I'm here to help you, not hurt you."
He hoped that his reassurance would encourage her to open up, but he understood that he needed to give her the space and time she needed to process her emotions and thoughts. In the meantime, he resolved to stay patient and understanding, ready to lend a listening ear whenever she was ready to share her concerns.
