Shen Biran often reminisced about past events, so she would also consider how similar things might happen again. This time, Gu Qingyuan undeniably dealt a significant blow to Shen Biran, making her realize that there aren't so many things she can understand, nor so many things that can offer her the same opportunity.
Maybe these people and things seem like they're in the past, but there's no choice, even if they really are in the past, what can one do? Everything is still different.
Gu Qingyuan would definitely not harbor any unnecessary thoughts anymore, unless he truly wished for something to happen, in which case perhaps more scenarios would arise.
It was because Gu Qingyuan was unwilling to clarify things directly with Shen Biran that so many troubles arose now.
If he was willing to clarify, he would, of course, know what Shen Biran was truly thinking.
Shen Biran hoped to get Gu Qingyuan's help, but Gu Qingyuan was merely figuring out ways to put Shen Biran in a dilemma.
