Upon hearing this, Si Wen gently lowered her eyelids. A barely perceptible flicker of disappointment crossed her graceful face as she whispered, as if to console herself, "It's nothing. He was going to apply to Yanbei even without me." As she spoke, a pang of bitterness welled up in her heart, as if pricked by a fine needle.
That's right. He wanted to get into Yanbei to follow his brother. It had nothing to do with her. Whether she was in the picture or not wouldn't have changed Xue Xing's determination to get into Yanbei.
At that moment, Lin Xi gently leaned in, resting her chin on Si Wen's shoulder. She whispered comfortingly, "Don't overthink it. Maybe that's not the only reason. You aren't Xue Xing, so how could you know what he's really thinking?"
Upon hearing this, Si Wen managed a faint smile. "Perhaps."
