"That's just what you think, but in fact, it's not like that. Even the deepest feelings can't withstand life's grind, and we're no exception."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I don't mean anything, I just think we need more time, there's no need to rush." Bai Zhi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"I'm not rushing, it's just, sometimes I don't know what you're thinking, Xiao Bai. I can sense you're hesitating, you're conflicted, but you don't tell me why. Do you know how distressed I am?"
Bai Zhi clutched her cup tightly, her knuckles turning white from exertion.
"Indeed, it's my problem, I admit it. So I'm asking you to give me some time, okay? Don't push me, or else..."
Duan Xingzhi's face darkened slightly, seeming to know what she wanted to say, his voice also turning colder, "Or else what?"
She promised him she wouldn't easily say the words 'break up' again, so when he suddenly asked, she realized what she had said.
"Nothing."
