At first, Li Haoran was resistant to Su Yiren. As a strong man himself, how could he depend on her for sustenance? He wanted to be independent like Senior Brother Lu.
Later, he found Su Yiren to be beautiful, kind, gentle, and nurturing, inspiring a desire to be pampered by her.
Now, he saw Su Yiren's every move filled with power, even the Phoenix was beaten to the point it could hardly rise again. He realized his physical stature was far from matching that of the Phoenix. For safety reasons, he decided to keep a distance from her.
This was what they call, sticking to your principles.
Li Haoran's legs trembled, extinguishing the budding idea of relying on her.
He had the will but lacked the physical strength.
A broken arm from a street fight was one thing, but if their relationship advanced, he shuddered to imagine the destruction his body would face.
It seemed that Lu Yang understood Li Haoran's mental state, and he patted his shoulder, "Everything has its pros and cons."
