"Miss... Why are you so nice to me?"
"Because everyone deserves to be treated gently."
"That day in the snow, I thought I was going to die. No one cared, like a wild dog on the roadside. But you stopped, you gave me your cloak... That was the first time in my memory that someone was nice to me."
"Ling Han, I treat you well because you are worth it. But you have to understand that I can't be here forever."
"Where are you going?"

"Liu Catkin, sometimes I envy you."
"You have something I have never had before - the qualification to be loved. My parents often say that daughters belong to other people's families, and only sons can pass on the incense. I ranked first in the class, but they said what's the use of girls reading so many books; I got a scholarship, and they said it would be better to get married early... But you... I just can't hate you. As soon as I see you, I can't help but get close, want to protect you, want to have you... Liuxu, am I falling in love with you?"
"Teacher Lin, you may have confused concern with..."
"I'm not confused! I want to see you every day, want to know where you are and who you are with, want to give you all the good things, want... I'm sorry, I crossed a line."
"It doesn't matter, it's raining heavily and we'll all be temporarily disoriented."

"Brother, what if I refuse?"
"You won't refuse, Xu Xu. You know what's best for you."
"Do you really know what's best for me? Or are you just using it to satisfy your desire for control in the name of 'being good for me'?"
