He Xiao was silent for a moment, then looked at Shanshan somewhat helplessly and said, "Not everyone's situation is the same."
"I know." Chen Shanshan nodded, looking at He Xiao with a bit of grievance in her eyes, and said, "Teacher, are you actually trying to say you don't like me?"
"..." He Xiao didn't speak for a long time, then in a low voice said, "Shanshan, you're a good girl, I like you a lot, but that kind of liking is more like a teacher's admiration for a student, or a senior's affection for a junior, it's not quite the same as the liking between a man and a woman."
His voice was low and gentle, his speech slow, clearly saying words of rejection towards Chen Shanshan, yet in a way that couldn't make anyone angry.
"Why?" Chen Shanshan only felt her heart sinking bit by bit into icy cold seawater, something seemed to be surging in her eyes.
He Xiao, however, stood there without saying a word.
