Seeing An Kexin's momentary silence, An Weize became more anxious and said, "Kexin, are you worried that I have an opinion?"
"I am quite happy to see you with Lin Jie, really, I truly have no objections."
An Kexin picked up the teapot, refilled An Weize's cup, and said softly, "Dad, don't worry. Since I'm not hiding it from you anymore, I will definitely explain clearly."
"I'm just thinking about how to explain it!"
An Weize calmed himself, took a sip of tea, and asked patiently, "Have you thought it through?"
"Dad, when I found out you had a brain tumor, it felt like I had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and Lin Jie was the only lifeline I could grasp onto..."
An Kexin smoothed a few strands of hair that had fallen over her forehead, and said slowly, "The more I got to know Lin Jie, the more I found that this lifeline was unexpectedly resilient..."
"I just wanted to hold onto him tightly..."
