Le Qingqing answered him, "Ask away. If I can help you with an answer, I definitely will."
Mistress pursued, "You are a woman. If a man you've known for five years confesses his love to you, and it just so happens that you don't love him either, how would you respond to his confession? Would you avoid him, would you leave him? Some people get along very well, but once emotions get involved, they become strangers. The one who falls in love ends up deeply hurt, while the other remains mercilessly unaffectionate."
Matters of the heart always end up this way; the one who invests emotions is always the one to get hurt.
Le Qingqing was stunned, not expecting the Mistress to counter-question her like this.
After thinking a bit, she answered, "If it were me, I wouldn't run away because avoiding the problem solves nothing. Even if I didn't love him, I would reject him gently."
Mistress asked, "Then would you give him a chance to pursue you?"
