Su Mo started to give an example, talking about Dongdong: "Take Dongdong for example, she's about the same age as the sort of girl you mentioned, also 14 years old, very pretty and cute. We usually have a close relationship and get along really well."
"But if one day Dongdong suddenly said she liked me, I'd definitely be dumbfounded."
"Because, you see, we've always been comrades, gone through a lot together, we're good friends, even like family without blood ties... but when did we ever interact as a couple?"
"I've always seen Dongdong as a younger sister, and surely Dongdong sees me as an older brother. So, how could this kind of relationship turn into love?"
"It's obviously not love, yet you try to act like it is; even if there's some sweetness in the process, it would ultimately end in unhappiness, leaving only regret."
Su Mo's words made everyone fall into their own thoughts, silently watching him.
