"Back then, at that age, I never spoke about this with any of you, and even at the time, I felt a deep sense of guilt because after all, you were all my seniors. How could I have such thoughts?"
"That's perfectly normal."
Zhao Min gently spoke to Wang Ye, "Every boy, when they hit puberty, is affected by hormones and a unique teenage curiosity towards the opposite sex, which leads them to have fanciful thoughts about various subjects, including teachers, female classmates, and other women around them."
"Besides, back then on the mountain, there were only a few of us girls, so it's only natural you'd develop those feelings towards us."
As Zhao Min spoke up to this point, she couldn't help feeling a hint of pride in her heart.
After all, during his teenage years, the person who preoccupied Wang Ye's thoughts the most was her.
"So, after that, I've been trying hard to restrain myself from having inappropriate thoughts about you all."
