Since then, Lin Jingsheng never bothered him with anything again, truly never. Whenever he needed help, he called upon Lu Bai and Mu Liang, rarely asking him. Even if he did ask, he wouldn't be too reluctant, unlike with Lu Bai and Mu Liang, to whom he could shamelessly delegate anything. He was afraid of troubling him, always maintaining a certain distant indifference, not close enough. Lin Jingsheng was adept at pretending, so much so that it seemed natural for him to be so unfamiliar with him.
Chu Lin knew that Lin Jingsheng truly didn't treat him the same way as Lu Bai and Mu Liang. Yet, Lin Jingsheng still considered him a brother, willing to risk his life for him, but just couldn't frivolously get close to him. He always thought his impulsive act in youth was to blame and tried to make amends for it.
After realizing he deeply loved Lin Jingsheng, he was filled with regret.
He loved someone so much, yet kept hurting him continuously.
