Ye Chen hesitated for a moment. "There will be no good ending," he heard, and although it was somewhat discomforting, he felt the other party made sense, nodding in agreement, "You're right, the ending wouldn't be good. It's best to stay as far away as possible."
The little gardener, Little Hong, felt she might have said the wrong thing and hastily added, "Maybe I spoke too harshly?"
Ye Chen, however, was surprisingly serious as he shook his head and replied, "No, you didn't. Not knowing me might indeed be for the best."
Little Hong had two more pots of flowers to prune before she could complete her task for the night. "I really didn't mean anything by it," she said.
"I'm not blaming you. It's just that it reminded me of something from a long time ago."
"What things from a long time ago?"
Ye Chen instantly became cautious, chuckling, "I certainly won't tell you so easily."
Little Hong pouted and laughed, "I'm not even eager to know."
"Do you have a partner yet?"
