"I didn't mean that..." Xu Xiangyang felt helpless. Sometimes he really couldn't tell if this girl was serious or joking, "I think her behavior is just her repressing herself. And if you had been there, she might have felt that the two of us were pressuring her together, and it could have resulted in a complete breakdown."
"Then you should feel even luckier," the class president said, "At least the worst didn't happen. I didn't clash with her and can still go on being 'friends'."
"Aren't you just avoiding reality? Do you really think Xing Jie will be nice to you in the future? Won't you still have to avoid her? What kind of friendship is that?"
"You promised me that it was sure to succeed, isn't that also avoiding reality? Do you truly believe that Xing Jie would accept such a thing...just based on talk?"
Xu Xiangyang fell silent.
