The will of heaven is hard to defy, and the human heart is difficult to fathom.
Le Yu always falls at the same spot where he stumbled before: in Dongyang, he believed he saw through the mediocrity of the Silver Blood Association and the damned people in need of redemption; and now, he thought he understood Ming Shuiyun.
The former repaid him with a blade, with fire; the latter with silence, with resolution.
In fact, Le Yu couldn't even grasp his own heart, let alone others.
Ming Shuiyun is just a naive young girl, but she's not a foolish child. Humans are highly sensitive to social distance; when Le Yu deliberately distanced himself from her, she would naturally feel she's being cold-shouldered, so it's only natural for Le Yu to assume she would resent him.
