Hua Jin said, “You can say whatever you want. Anyway, I think Gong Jie has a right to know about this.”

“And… what about you?” Alice retorted aggressively, “Do you like Gong Jie?”

“I…” The actor was suddenly at a loss for a response. He turned away awkwardly. “Why do you ask?”

“Hua Jin, do you know that I really want to beat the crap out of you sometimes?”

“…?”

“You obviously like Gong Jie. Isn’t that so?!”

The actor immediately replied, “No way!”

“If you didn’t like him, why would you take such a huge risk coming all the way here to see him?! If you didn’t like him, why do you blush every time you see him? If you didn’t like him, why do you lose sleep worrying about him?”

“Who’s here for his sake!” The actor felt wronged. “I just want to experience a mercenary mission!”

Alice couldn’t help sneering, “Are you going to keep saying things you don’t mean?”

“When did I say things I didn’t mean?”

“If you keep insisting on not saying what you really mean, I’m really going to beat the crap out of you!” Alice said angrily. “Favoured people indeed behave boldly. Have you considered my feelings? You clearly know that Gong JIe likes you. And since you like him too, why can’t you admit it?! Is your ego that precious? Gong Jie himself has even cast aside his status as the eldest young master of the Gong family, to confess his feelings to you, so why won’t you admit your feelings? Is it really that difficult for you to admit that you like him?”

As she spoke, Alice smiled in self-mockery. “Do you know how envious I am of you? You have to know how rare it is when two people have mutual affections. Most of the time, the person you like doesn’t even like you back. Or you have no feelings for a person who likes you. People miss out on love all the time. And look at you! Don’t wait till it’s too late and then start regretting it!”

“And… what about you?” The actor huffed. “Aren’t you the same? Don’t you like him? Why didn’t you say a word or tell him? Are you just going to let him go?”

“Because he already knows. Whether I say it or not, the outcome is the same.”

Hua Jin said angrily, “How would you know if you don’t give it a try? What if he likes you a little too?”

“That won’t be necessary.”

“It’s different! Him knowing it is a separate matter. The point is, you didn’t tell him personally! At least tell him your feelings!”

Alice suddenly turned and looked at him with tears in her eyes. “You’re asking me to confess to him so that I can be rejected?”

“That’s not what I meant…”

“Or are you saying that I should ask him to pity me?”

The actor could not defend himself. “I… didn’t…”

Alice garnered almost all her strength and said, “In life, one isn’t guaranteed something just because you work hard for it.”

If one doesn’t like, or doesn’t love, then that’s what it is. Although it’s said that in all things, one has to try his best and put in some effort before success can follow.

The fact was that in this matter, Alice did not wish to continue struggling. Her greatest gift was not to impose or insist.

“I don’t like things to be forced. Those who love me will eventually come to me. Those who don’t love me, even if I beg humbly, it’s useless. So, if this is your concern, then I can only say that you’re overthinking it!”
