"Why are you being so nice to me?" Li Xiangmei asked.
The better Lin Yifan treated her, the harder it was for her to forget him.
"Because... because I once wronged you."
Lin Yifan looked distressed, reluctant to bring up the past.
"You didn't wrong me. It was all that girl's doing, so you don't need to feel guilty or feel like you owe me anything."
Li Xiangmei was a bit angry because Lin Yifan had never actually loved her; it had all been an act.
"But..."
"But what?" Li Xiangmei demanded.
"Nothing, I just want to do what I can to help you."
Lin Yifan hesitated, truthfully, at the time, he did have feelings for Li Xiangmei; if Li Xiangmei had loved him as much as Su Qingqing did, he might have kept her around.
"No need. I have my own hands and feet, I can make a living."
Li Xiangmei didn't want Lin Yifan's pity, there was no reason for it.
"Xiao Qing, isn't your sister too stubborn?"
