Yu Xi continued, "You've always been deserving of anyone's kindness because you're a good person, but being kind to you doesn't mean that they have to be with you. It doesn't equate to the romantic kind of affection; we can still be very good friends."
Very good friends?
Yu Xi said, "Our relationship didn't start because someone pursued the other. We've known each other for many years and then gradually got together. Nobody imagined we would end up together, but after understanding each other, that's when we chose to be together."
They've known each other for many years?
