Hearing Tony's voice, Su Liuying raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She didn't want him to see her vulnerability.
She looked up at him, puzzled, and asked, "Tony, how did you know I was here?"
Tony smiled and sat down beside her. Looking at her, he said, "As long as I want to know, I always can figure out where you are!"
"Oh!"
Su Liuying didn't pay much attention to his response. She turned to look at the sea and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for your concern. You don't have to follow me. I just want some quiet time alone!"
"Liuying, as a friend, it would be a lie to say I'm not worried seeing you this upset!"
Hearing Su Liuying's rejection, Tony's eyes dimmed slightly, though his expression remained unchanged. "When you're alone, it's too easy to overthink and grow even sadder. You're only going to trap yourself in an emotional dead end like this!"
"I... I'll manage and get through this on my own!"
