Shen Yan's expression was very sorrowful, as if she couldn't attain the one she loved, and was left as a heartbroken and forlorn soul.
Ye Fan cared deeply for Shen Yan; he would not allow himself to hurt Shen Yan. He would rather Shen Yan carry hatred and regret towards him. Interactions between two people do not necessarily require possession or being possessed. He hopes Shen Yan can eventually move on from his shadow and become a happy and cheerful girl.
"Yanyan, you don't need to do anything." Ye Fan pulled Shen Yan closer, speaking sincerely, "I actually just came to wish you a happy birthday, with no intention of taking advantage of the situation."
Shen Yan smiled faintly and said, "You think I acted on impulse?"
Ye Fan spread his hands as if saying, aren't you? You gave me a "good person card," and now you're talking about leaving me with a beautiful memory?
