He knew very well that back then, he was just jealous. It was a sign of immaturity.
Unconsciously, he had lost his heart. He had asked after her well-being in the cold and warmth, his intentions genuine, not perfunctory. But after her trip to Jun City, the ambiguous relationship between her and Third Brother had saddened him, and he had fallen into a trap of his own making.

Now, she had lost Shujun.
The tears she had managed to stop began to threaten again at the thought of Shujun, and her nose soured anew.
