Just as he was about to step into the alley, Turquoise Pool turned to look at Li Changzhou.
"I'm off to handle some matters, I'll come look for you afterward."
"...You don't have to look for me," Li Changzhou replied.
To say he wasn't attracted to Turquoise Pool was utter nonsense, a blatant lie, a deception.
Her charm was enchanting, her beauty could overthrow cities, her perky bosom, her slender waist like a willow branch, and her beautiful legs and fair skin—who wouldn't like them?
Feeling attracted is something normal humans can't control; who you like or dislike has little to do with one's will. If your spirit tells you to like someone, you just have to like them.
Behavior can be controlled, though.
To like someone is not to approach; to dislike someone is to deliberately get closer.
That's why there's a saying: the greatest distance in the world is between affection and action, although it's usually meant to encourage people to not just talk the talk.
