"How could you treat me like this?" Jiang Zhiyu looked like a woman caught in the shattered fragments of a romantic fantasy she had once believed in. Unable to face her own past blindness, she could only blame Wei Lingbai for failing to fulfill her delusions.
"I think I’ve made myself perfectly clear," Wei Lingbai replied, his face cold and unmoved. "Haven't I maintained a proper distance as a stranger from the very beginning? What you should be doing right now is stop harassing me, not blaming me."
Clinging to the last shreds of her dignity, Jiang Zhiyu tried to defend herself. "I just wanted to be friends with you. You don't actually think I had other intentions, do you? You're reading way too much into this. I'm not some 'romance-brained' girl who falls for every man she sees. I just mistook your good character for someone who would make a good friend. I only wanted to make a friend."
