Alix stared at Shui for a long, long time, eventually bursting into a hearty laughter. She waved her hand in dismissal.
"That's impossible. You are completely going off-track with this."
Shui was unaffected. "It's fine if you don't believe me. Eventually, you will get it one day and so will Jin."
The pace of Alix's laughter slowed down upon seeing Shui's no-nonsense expression.
"You…You do realize he loves you, right? I mean yes, he rejected you because of some circumstances but he still loves you. That is an undeniable fact. So…I think you should calm down with the conclusions."
Shui didn't respond to that for a long time.
"People also like to move on, Alix, because it hurts to be in a limbo. They take small steps - very small steps. So they don't realize that they are walking farther and farther away and gradually making a new path for themselves. Jin is like that. He thinks he is not moving at all but he is. He doesn't understand it but people around him do."
