Chen Ye looked at Gu Yue with interest. He could already guess more or less what was going through her mind.
Though the girl was cool and reserved, she had never seen much of the world and didn't know a great deal.
Chen Ye leaned a little closer to Gu Yue, smiling. "I'm leaving, Sister Gu Yue. The next time we meet might be two months from now."
"Now that our teacher's leaving, there's a good chance the two of us won't come back either. Who knows when we'll see each other again?"

She was only trying to find an excuse—a reason not to hurt him.
