She had never felt that Shi Che was in her heart, she had only ever tried to please him, tolerated him, all because of her elder sister, even when Ji Xinxin said she had fallen in love with Shi Che, she had always been in denial, she couldn't possibly fall in love with Shi Che.
But at that moment, she realized just how deeply Shi Che had embedded himself in her heart, deeper than she could have ever imagined.
She had thought she didn't love him, but unbeknownst to her, love had already taken root.
It turned out that what Ji Xinxin had said, the words she so resisted, so pushed against, was because Ji Xinxin had spoken her true thoughts, those deeply buried and unwilling to face.
But the moment earlier, her concern, her fear, her terror, made it impossible for her to suppress her own feelings anymore. She could no longer deceive herself that she didn't love Shi Che, that her staying by Shi Che's side was solely because of her elder sister.
