"You don't have to say sorry," Shi Aiqiao waved her hand. "It was me who forced you. You don't love me, and you haven't wronged me. On the contrary, it's I who have wronged you."
She took a deep breath, trying to muster a smile, "It's okay. If I insist on being with you, I may be happy, but you definitely wouldn't be. Isn't loving someone about wanting them to be happy every day?"
Shi Aiqiao smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine, really fine."
She muttered to herself, not looking at Lansheng again, "You go on with your work. I'm going back to my room to sleep."
With that, she lowered her head and turned to walk out.
Lansheng could see her disappointment, and something in his heart seemed to collapse as she turned away, hurting a little.
Shi Aiqiao walked slowly; she was still hoping he would rush out to embrace her, telling her that he didn't just see her as a sister, but as the woman he loved the most.
But it didn't happen.
