"Ruoruo, when a woman enters a man's life and his gaze frequently rests on her, when he incessantly considers her in every action he takes, what do you think his feelings towards her would be?" asked Wei Jinyi.
"How would I know? I'm not a man. How could I possibly understand what a man thinks?" muttered Wei Ruo.
"Ruoruo, I have never been generous. I've never felt pity or made sacrifices for people who have nothing to do with me. Well, at least not before I met you."
"That's... unfair..." Wei Ruo turned away, avoiding the burning gaze of Wei Jinyi.
All she wanted was to reveal her thoughts to her brother and see him react--to witness him feel awkward, shy, and troubled, to hear him lecture her, and eventually to watch him get used to it...
She had not considered there could be another way of resolving things.
Her heart was beating fervently at that moment, and she could feel the warmth spreading through her body, her cheeks, her mind.
"I have nothing more to say."
