Meng Xi'er's eyes widened slightly, an expression of surprise on her face. After a moment, she suddenly threw her arms around Lu Yebai's neck. Her heart was pounding so hard, it felt as though it might leap out of her mouth. She was so overjoyed, she was at a loss for words.
"I do too!" Meng Xi'er hugged him tightly and said loudly, "I like you too! I've always liked you! I like you, Lu Yebai!"
She had always been like this, not sparing any efforts to express her feelings for him, always sincerely and directly speaking her mind.
He could never compare to her, could never be as honest as she was. It was as if she was letting him see into her heart, which gave him an uneasy feeling.
She was indeed much better than him.
He was a coward, holding on to his useless pride, squandering her love but giving nothing back in return.
He was both arrogant and selfish.
