Staring at the ceiling, Sheng Jiaoyang slowly spoke her honest thoughts.

"I think that I like you, but I can't deceive myself, and I don't want to lie to you. I like you only to the point of not disliking being intimate with you, nothing more. I can't long for you every day as I did with my first love, and whenever you’re being too intimate, I feel extremely burdened."

Shen Zhining listened quietly and didn’t speak.

"I don't have the courage to love someone again. I may never fall in love with you."

After a person has loved someone wholeheartedly, it would be difficult to love another person as much as before.

This was reality.

The room was silent and Sheng Jiaoyang no longer spoke, just waited for his reply.

Sheng Jiaoyang shivered in her heart, but she sneered at herself. It was difficult for her to accept those words, not to mention Shen Zhining!

Sheng Jiaoyang was supposed to feel sleepy, but she wasn’t....
