Chapter 321: Two People with Accelerated Heartbeats

"That kind of thing won't happen. If I like Jiang Xiaorou, I'll treat her well—unlike some people who don't even have the courage to admit their feelings." Shen Yancheng finished speaking and turned to leave.

His words were a direct jab at Jing Muchen.

It wasn't a matter of not daring to admit it; he simply didn't want to burden Xiaorou. Jing Muchen understood the position he held in Xiaorou's heart. Xiaorou viewed him as a mentor, an elder—almost as family. But he harbored feelings for her.

How was he supposed to face such emotions, let alone confess them to Xiaorou?

"Shen Yancheng, do you honestly think you can bring happiness to Xiaorou? Do you know how many hurdles you'd have to cross to be with her? Have you calculated them?" Jing Muchen, on the other hand, had done his calculations.

For Shen Yancheng to win Xiaorou's heart and be with her would be harder than Tang Sanzang making his pilgrimage west, enduring all eighty-one tribulations.
