"You should tell mom the truth, don't let mom leave this world with regrets."
"Mom..." Chen Zhi's eyes reddened as she suddenly thought of the nightmare she had the night before.
She gripped her mother's hand tightly, trying not to cry, "He doesn't like me, he said he will never like me. Mom, don't worry, I will soon forget him too. I won't let myself get hurt or humiliated; my feelings for him aren't deep, I really can forget him quickly."
Things were indeed developing along the same trajectory as back then...
When she had developed feelings for Si Chengye, she had told herself the same thing.
She would try hard to forget him, since she wasn't in too deep, just as long as she tried she could extract herself.
But what was the result? She only fell deeper and deeper...
Chen's mother managed a weak smile and nodded to show she believed her, "Mom believes you will forget him, good child, don't be upset. It's not your fault to like someone, just make sure you don't get hurt."
