Xia Xinyu seemed to be describing a common state in romantic relationships.
Such a 'necessary path' is probably a stage every couple has gone through.
And when she spoke like this, it wasn't to dampen the mood or be sarcastic.
It was purely to give Chen Yuan a heads-up, and to add some sense of security for herself.
When that stage really came, she hoped that she wouldn't feel it was 'no longer liking,' but rather a phase that had to be experienced.
See, love is something that makes people grow.
Without listening to Xinyu, I could figure out what Xia Xinyu was thinking.
"The phase you're talking about, haven't we already been through it?" Chen Yuan asked.
"No, weren't we getting along especially well before…" Xia Xinyu didn't think so.
"There really was such a time." Chen Yuan reminded her, "Think about it, was there a period when you felt I was a bit bad and wanted to ignore me as a punishment?"
