In the end, Gu Qingyuan still has to compromise with Shen Biran, because this compromise is necessary, it's the influence Shen Biran has brought to Gu Qingyuan.
Gu Qingyuan might think that his feelings for Shen Biran are the most sincere, but he will eventually realize that these feelings are completely unnecessary.
If they have a chance in the future, they will put effort into understanding each other, and it will become clearer why he acted the way he did.
So when Shen Biran and Gu Qingyuan's relationship has reached this point, if Gu Qingyuan still intends to use him, that would be their biggest problem.
Shen Biran doesn't want to continue like this either, and the fact that Shen Biran insists on wasting time on Gu Qingyuan is something he doesn't even understand.
There are always reasons for his actions, but when their issues become increasingly complex, there's no longer any need to consider if their relationship could return to its former state.
