'She was in a complete panic now. Ever since she'd met Gu Muxue, Xue Rui had become quieter. Although he'd still pat her head like before, she felt like there was less strength in his touch…'
'Was Xue Rui feeling powerless? Or just resigned?'
Xue Rui noticed the girl had suddenly become insecure, seemingly dwelling on what had happened at noon.
'This silly girl,' he thought. 'She wants to bear every burden with me, always just thinking about how to make me happy.'
If this kept up, she would develop a complex over it.
"Xixi, don't overthink it. I'll handle things with Muxue..." Xue Rui said softly.
"Mhm, Rui can do anything."
'Don't kill me with praise! I'm really not that capable!' Xue Rui screamed internally.
