"Xiaowan, we've grown up together, and I know you. I can see that your feelings for Su Chaoyang aren't as cold and cruel as you portray. The fact that you've become troubled by his kindness, agonising over it, shows that your feelings are wavering. But you're purposely ignoring this. You're afraid of falling in love with him, so you're desperately being harsh to him, hoping he'll get the message and back off, hoping he'll stop loving you. But love isn't like tap water; it can't be turned on and off whenever you feel like it. It doesn't start or stop just because you want it to. Why are you torturing yourself like this?"

Li An'an retorted, "Really? I don't believe you."
