Chapter: 1986

"This was supposed to be a surprise for Xu Huiren, and if I call her now, won't the surprise be ruined?"

"Just then, Ito Nana whispered beside him, 'Hey... Ye Chen sir, look at my hands. How much are they different from your wife's?'"

"As she spoke, Ito Nana opened her palms, spreading out her fingers in front of Ye Chen."

"Ye Chen took a close look and exclaimed, 'Ito Nana, it feels like your hands are almost the same size as my wife's! Would you mind helping me try it on?'"

"Ito Nana nodded readily without hesitation."

"The sales associate then handed Ye Chen the ring, saying, 'Sir, would you please let this young lady help you try it on?'"

Ye Chen picked it up without much thought, holding one hand and gently pulling Ito Nana's right wrist with the other, carefully putting the ring on her unringed finger.

In this moment, Ito Nana felt like she was in a dream or a fantasy.

Although she was very clear that she was only helping Ye Chen's wife try on the ring, as soon as she thought about it being Ye Chen giving a diamond ring to her own unringed finger, her heart became stirred to an extent that couldn't be measured.

She said to herself in her mind: "If this is just a dream, I hope I can sleep forever and never wake up......"

The ring slid over the knuckle of her unringed finger, and at that moment, tears began to well up in her eyes.

She hastily lowered her head not wanting Ye Chen to see her current state.

She loved Ye Chen very much, but she didn't want to give him too strong a psychological burden.

Because she knew deep down that Ye Chen came to Japan this time for reasons far bigger than just having a crush on her; it was because he felt sorry for her and pitied her.

She could understand Ye Chen's emotions, which was a kind of empathy that arose from being fellow practitioners. What was empathy?

It was understanding others from their perspective, being able to empathize with them, and sharing emotional feelings.

This was like a racing driver who sees another driver involved in an accident on the track, seriously injured or even killed, and his empathy for the victim would definitely be stronger than that of ordinary people.

With compassion, a soldier would feel sympathy if he saw his comrades or fellow soldiers getting hurt or disabled during battles.

Ye Chen must have felt the same way too.

He looked at herself not listening to advice, being heavily injured in the competition, and even being taken away by an ambulance right from the track. At that moment, he was definitely more sympathetic towards himself.

Plus, he had a way to cure himself, so this time he came to Japan, took time off to visit her in Kyoto, rescue her, and heal his own injuries.

Therefore, Ito NaNa knew very clearly that Ye Chen's good treatment of herself was largely due to empathy born from understanding others.

For a girl deeply in love with someone, she actually didn't want the other person's sympathy at all.

In reality, except for romantic feelings, any other emotional needs were not what she wanted.

At this moment, Ye Chen couldn't see Ito NaNa's expression; his attention was fully focused on her fingers above, watching as the ring slightly grew larger before he gently took it off and told the salesperson, "Excuse me, could you make it a little smaller?" JrNovels.com
