When Bai Qianqian was eating, she suddenly paused and looked at Xie Wei, but Xie Wei pretended nothing had happened and continued eating.
"You don't need to do this," Bai Qianqian said earnestly, her eyes filled with concern.
Bai Qianqian's words had three layers of meaning: she didn't need to lower herself to suffer at the orphanage; she didn't need to pursue him so diligently; and she didn't need to be so good to him.
Bai Qianqian felt that she was not worthy of Xie Wei's feelings.
Xie Wei seemed to understand, smiled, reached out and pinched Bai Qianqian's cheek, and replied with only three words, "voluntary," meaning you deserve it.
