Nana stared at him for a while and asked, "You still love her, right? I know she was your ex-girlfriend."

She sighed, "I understand. When you see your first love in such a terrible condition, no matter if you have broken up, I think anyone would have behaved the same way."

And who am I to judge anyway? When even I am still affected by him, she thought.

Jianyu took her hands in his and genuinely said, "Thank you, Nana. I promise I will never let you suffer again."
