What Gu Qingyuan could get from Lu Xiao would only be a painful lesson.
Besides the lesson, Gu Qingyuan might very well lose what he desires most: Shen Biran's forgiveness.
Shen Biran does not misunderstand Gu Qingyuan's heart, it's just that she cannot accept this heart.
Gu Qingyuan, for his own sake, has hurt Gu Xiaonuan, so why should she make things difficult for herself for Gu Qingyuan?
She understands her own heart better than anyone, and her inner issues have always troubled her, which are related to Lu Xiao.
It is Lu Xiao who makes Shen Biran feel that living up to this point in life really holds no meaning.
Moreover, in the days to come, Lu Xiao does not need Shen Biran's sympathy anymore.
Shen Biran believes that sympathy should not be misused, especially towards a man who, for his own purposes, resorts to any means against his family.
Talking about feelings and family with Lu Xiao? It's almost as if he's joking with her.
