Perhaps, this is for the best. After a month ends, he will keep his promise and no longer pursue her, leaving him free to pursue someone worth his while.
Instead of letting him waste more time on her, being rejected again and again yet never giving up, maybe doing this is the best outcome.
It's as if, if she hadn't approached Zhan Nanjue from the start, then this secret crush might have continued indefinitely, and she might never have a chance to fall in love with someone else...
But now, didn't she say she would look forward, forget everything, and start afresh?
This seems quite good too. Ending all delusions and starting anew is quite nice.
Gong Shirao thought of this, nodded, and agreed.
Ji Chiming saw Gong Shirao nodding, seemingly unable to believe it. He kept looking and thinking, certain that her previous gesture was indeed a nod, yet still feeling like he was dreaming.
