Ji Mingyu tried to make her tone sound more sincere, "When I first discovered you in the Cloud Mountain area, you were collecting herbs, looking very focused, very...cute."
"I didn't hurry to reveal myself but instead observed you carefully for half a month. From many details, I deduced that you still hadn't successfully regained your memory and couldn't even perform simple breathing exercises."
"So after a bit of thought, I changed my mind."
"Originally, I wanted to keep you by my side, guide you slowly, make you fall in love with me, and never leave me."
"But upon further reflection, I thought that was too selfish. Once you regained your memory, you would surely resent me, so I took a more balanced approach."
Having said that, Ji Mingyu's thoughts were actually:
This wouldn't work; she knew this man's character too well. Personally grooming him wouldn't guarantee that he would only love her. What if his nature resurfaced?
