Mu Xiangning looked uncomfortable, her head bowed as she said, "As soon as I heard about your car accident, I rushed over. I'm relieved that you only injured your head and that the rest of your body is unaffected. Now that I see you're okay, I can rest easy."
Yes, seeing him safe, she truly felt relieved.
"Why did you come to see me?" His gaze remained on her, unfocused and devoid of emotion, leaving one unable to discern whether it was anger or sorrow he felt.
"I…" Mu Xiangning slowly raised her head to meet the eyes of the man on the bed. Meeting his gaze, she felt an inexplicable panic and became flustered.
"I, I'm just worried about you."
"I remember telling you not to waste your effort on me. No matter what you do, I won't feel affection for you."
It wasn't that he was cold-hearted, but that he didn't want to cloud his own judgment or deceive a girl who truly liked him.
Rather than giving her hope only to lead to despair, it was better to not give any hope from the start.
