Zhao Guodong looked at Xiang Weilai incredulously, shaking his head vigorously. He couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe he had personally pushed Ye Ling away.
No—perhaps yesterday when Zhang Linong told him, he just realized that he had liked Ye Ling all along without knowing it. Like a child insisting on candy, he had been pestering Ye Ling, only to find out that time changes and no one would wait for him to grow up. Someone will take away the thing he hadn't even realized he liked.
So when Zhang Linong broke this to him, Zhao Guodong was silent, and only exploded when Zhang Linong said Xiang Weilai was the most suitable for Ye Ling. He recalled how Xiang Weilai always gently stood beside Ye Ling, and compared to Xiang Weilai, he was just a child. He thought of Xiang Weilai disregarding everyone's eyes to wipe Ye Ling's tears, realizing that Xiang Weilai had already acted unknowingly while he remained in place.
