Yanshen's eyes narrowed imperceptibly.
Suddenly, he interrupted Yao Qing just as she was trying to tell him everything.
"No need to say it."
Yao Qing paused, then frowned, "I'm not telling you this out of pity, nor am I doing it because of a guilt complex. I think there's no need to hide anymore, you...can know some of my affairs."
She was willing to tell him the things that she had kept in her heart, as a reciprocation of the emotions he had given her.
She still remembered the words he had said in her house—
Nothing in this world is given without expecting something in return.
He needed a response, and she could give him one.
When it came to emotions, she was extremely cautious, especially with this kind of fragile relationship. She could respond to him little by little, but couldn't give too much all at once.
Because she feared he might withdraw at any moment. If he really pulled away, by then she might be able to back out with some reserve, without falling apart.
