He said to her, "Everything that happened last night was my fault. I hope you can forget about it. I just mistook you for someone else."
She looked at him lying; he clearly called her by her name, how could he mistake her for someone else?
She gazed at him, knowing his true feelings, but still felt a pang of sadness at his words.
The next day, Ray left, gone for half a year on a mission.
It was the first time he had been away for so long without contacting her.
When he returned, he still treated her as if she were Fan Yao, but no longer cared for her as he used to.
He wouldn't let her into his room, nor allow her to be close to him...
They had become like strangers.
Admitting that he liked her seemed more challenging than reaching the heavens.
Seeing him like this, she gradually gave up.
Love has never been a one-person affair; how could she alone overcome the barriers between two people?
