Mo Bai's face turned even whiter at Xia Wanwan's words.

No one could replace Xi Muchen in Xia Wanwan's heart. Her love was hard to earn but also simple; Xia Wanwan was the kind of person who would reciprocate kindness with twice as much warmth.
Xi Muchen loved and protected her so much that it indeed surpassed anything he could offer, and no woman could remain unaffected by that.
The pain in Mo Bai's heart deepened, a dense and almost corrosive ache.
"Wanwan, during our school days, those boys who liked you but were always rejected by you called you heartless. They were right." It was just that back then, she wouldn't reject him.
Mo Bai truly missed those days, even though Xia Wanwan had never confessed her feelings for him. Her dependence on him had been enough to satisfy him.
