At that moment, what shattered her most wasn't the inaccessibility of her dreams but that Gong Beiyao appeared before her, telling her he would take responsibility for her.
He said he was the one who injured her.
At that moment, she truly felt that nothing in her life could be worse than this.
The person who saw the worst side of her life, it could have been anyone, but why did it have to be him!?
The person who ruined her dreams, it could have been anyone, but why did it have to be him—
His reason for treating her well could have been anything, but why did it have to be because of responsibility?
She indeed hoped that he loved her, yet she clearly knew that such self-delusion was useless!
He was really good to her.
So good that it made her delude herself into thinking he wasn't there because he had injured her but because he liked her, which is why he cared for her this way.
