Chí Jīn’s pain was something Ruan Wei could not personally feel.
Ruan Wei had always believed in one thing—
There was simply no such thing as truly feeling another's pain in this world; no one could completely resonate with another person's psychological state. Empathy was merely a fleeting flood of emotion, and once that moment passed, what remained was still a messy, spilled breach of feelings.
Empathy only added an extra layer of pain.
For the person originally caught in deep agony, their suffering would not change in the slightest.
Ruan Wei did not need empathy.
She knew, and that was all she could do.
Everything had to be unraveled by Chí Jīn himself.
Yet, as his partner—
Ruan Wei’s expression abruptly softened.
With gentle movements, she patted Chí Jīn on the back, one stroke at a time.
She could not share his pain, but she could soothe his spirit.
