An unexpected incident had once occurred, serving as the catalyst for the initiation of their relationship. Hu Jie had accidentally fallen into the water, and it was Su Shen who had come to her rescue. During this incident, she had developed a profound fondness for him.
Upon learning from her father that Su Shen's aloofness was his inherent nature, that he treated everyone with the same indifference, she began to lower her guard. She started to approach Su Shen proactively, often doing special things for him, such as making soup or gifting him new shoes.
Everyone around them seemed to approve of their relationship, yet Su Shen remained distant. His constant response was, "There's no need for all this. It's better for men and women to maintain some distance."
