The Other Side 192

That was enough to be of great comfort to Alice! At least Gong Jie was fine. She liked Gong Jie. It probably wasn't love, but it was enough for her to give up everything she had. However, she had never confessed her admiration for Gong Jie to anyone.

It wasn't that she thought he was out of her league, but she knew perfectly well that the man had no interest in her. If this sort of affection were not mutual, then coming clean with it would only become a burden. So Alice had never mentioned it to Gong Jie, in order not to burden him with it.

More than that, she had no expectations for Gong Jie to reciprocate just because she adored him and made sacrifices. That would not be love. That would be blackmail. That wasn't her goal or her style of doing things. Therefore, the matter was suppressed, and her fondness for Gong Jie was restrained.
