Gu Qingyuan, although aware that his actions now might cause considerable trouble for Shen Biran, still felt compelled to do so.
Only by doing this might he have the chance to earn Shen Biran's forgiveness. It was certain that there was no other possibility besides this answer.
In any case, Gu Qingyuan had already thrown caution to the wind; he had no other choice, nor did he know how to make any other choice.
Perhaps, this was what troubled Gu Qingyuan the most. He had no chance of achieving a perfect solution, but he still forced himself to try.
Forcing himself to make such a choice, even though in the end, he might be the one feeling regret.
His collaboration with Lu Xiao was like this too; their alliance would inevitably cause a significant impact.
Strange and peculiar ideas would only make him feel more miserable. Gu Qingyuan shouldn't have too many expectations for himself, because the more he hoped, the more disappointed he might be in the end.
