"That's good." Ai Jiaxin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I was worried about being misunderstood. I truly want to thank you for rescuing me before; there's nothing more to it."
"No worries, it was just a small effort." Xu Nianji said nonchalantly.
Ai Jiaxin, however, replied very earnestly, "For you, it might have been a small effort, but for me, it felt like a life-saving grace. If you hadn't been there that day, I might have broken my leg or hurt my head. So, I've always kept this kindness in my heart."
"Really, it's not necessary. If it were someone else in that situation, I would have saved them too." Xu Nianji said sincerely, feeling for the first time that even saving a life could come with pressure. He just wanted to help someone back then; in such circumstances, regardless of who it was, he couldn't have turned a blind eye.
But Ai Jiaxin's omnipresent gratitude made Xu Nianji feel tremendous pressure, and he didn't want such gratitude.
