"Brother, sometimes you're too hard on yourself." Du Xixi didn't immediately convey Miao Miao's thoughts about Chen Yin but instead patted his shoulder with a familiar tenderness in her voice, "You know your heart will ache, so why still thrust that knife in?"
"A knife that inevitably has to be plunged in, can I possibly stop it?" Chen Yin wore a mask, making it difficult for Du Xixi to see his expression underneath, but she guessed he was smiling, that same casual, faint smile she was so familiar with.
"In Miao Miao's heart, she cannot understand your affection for her. She believes that you are the Emperor of the Blue Star Empire, while she is merely a citizen of the Empire, the difference in status is too vast for her to accept." Du Xixi couldn't relay Miao Miao's words to Chen Yin verbatim, but the general idea was more or less the same.
