You are clearly attracted to someone but don't want to admit it. You know that the other person is actually troubled by your bad mood and dreams, but you turn a blind eye to it.
"I don't need you to choose me," he said. "Because you already did that, so now it's just my turn to choose you."
"Since Shao Xing had to separate from his parents because he transformed into a ghost cultivator, I was able to live with my parents and brothers for a while, so I didn't have to worry about affecting them too much."
"Because Zhao Xuan transformed into a ghost cultivator, he had to go to the northwest, deep in the mountains, living in isolation and solitude. While he faced the evil of human nature alone and couldn't sleep at night, I could still walk the streets and alleys like a normal person in the city, and even sleep soundly at night."
"When Shen Wuwei could only keep a distance in order not to hurt Chen Siwei, and would stay away for a long time once he got close. When his assessment was always unstable because he had never had a contract, I didn't have such worries."
Xie Jingyi let out a long sigh and said with a smile, "You chose me a long time ago."
"So don't worry about not loving me, because I will love you."
"Just like you've loved this land for a long time, I've loved you for a long time too," Xie Jingyi said softly, "You don't need to feel any burden. In my opinion, you deserve it."

"...I won't say those words to you like others do, nor will I do those things between lovers. Xie Jingyi, the man in front of you is a stubborn and unintelligent guy. He won't wait for you..."
“You may even spend your entire life chasing an answer that will never be answered.”
Xu Shiqing closed his eyes and asked, "Even so, do you accept it?"
"Then I will catch up with you." Xie Jingyi smiled: "Until you believe that I really love you."
