Shi Nian spoke frankly about her genuine feelings. Such words, even when facing Xiang Yuan before, she had never spoken so sincerely. In truth, regarding that nightmare, even today she still feels uneasy, wanting not to bring it up again; moreover, the people in that dream seem so unreal.
But today, facing him, she still said it all.
Perhaps it was because—she truly liked him. Even with a faint intuition, she treated him as a substitute for that person in the dream. Because he shares the same sense of integrity, kindness, a bit of prideful arrogance, and—naughtiness with the person in the dream.
It seemed like all her feelings towards that person could find corresponding connections with him. That's why she couldn't help but like him, couldn't resist his obsessive closeness since the beginning.
But she was really worried that she was only treating him as the shadow of the person in the dream, so continuing on would be unfair to him.
