"Liuying, I won't see you out; just make yourself at home. If I get drunk, just leave on your own when you wish!"
After saying this, Tan Yanli tilted her head back and downed another glass of wine. She had become numb to red wine and couldn't taste its flavor anymore; all that was left in her mouth was an indescribable bitterness.
"Yanli, seeing you like this really upsets me. It makes me feel like I'm half responsible..."
The root cause of Tan Yanli's unrequited love was ultimately her—Su Liuying. Even though she never liked Lin Runjie, she was always the barrier between Tan Yanli and Lin Runjie.
"Don't be silly, Liuying. Runjie made it very clear that liking someone is a feeling that comes from the heart, and he just doesn't have that feeling for me. Even without you, he still wouldn't like me!"
Tan Yanli had figured it out; Lin Runjie would not fall for her, and it had nothing to do with Su Liuying.
"It's good that you've come to terms with it!"
