But Fourth Master, have you ever considered that I am also a person? I also have joys and sorrows. You always say you spoil me, but spoiling someone isn't just about giving gifts. If you truly care about someone, you should give them basic respect and allow them to express their emotions, instead of constantly suppressing and blaming others while never reflecting on your own actions.
Hongli believed he was very special to her, but she didn't care about anything he did. Since that was the case, he didn't want to waste his energy trying to coax her anymore.
