768 I Want Her To Be Happy

"I thought I was being good to her, and she will definitely forgive me after she learned the truth. I was well prepared to accept all the resulting punishment… sob, I thought I was doing something good." Lea recalled that unforgivable period. Gu Mengmeng kept referring to him as an ex-boyfriend, making him keep his distance and asking him to stop pestering her. Every word spoken by her was like a sharp claw tearing into his heart. That pain was a constant reminder to never do anything that would make Gu Mengmeng unhappy again. He was unable to bear the consequences.

Looking up with a "been-there-done-that" expression, Lea said, "All the punishment includes her tears and rejection. If your only punishment is her crying while telling you that she forgives you, doesn't hate you, and that you two owe each other nothing and should go your separate ways? You… are you prepared to accept that?"
