The female educated youths know that Comrade Jiang liked Comrade Han for a long time, but they never expected her to blurt out her confession like this.
Not to mention that the other party has no feelings toward her, even if he does, being confessed so abruptly like this would embarrass him. The chance of him accepting her confession was near zero.
Han Jinhe was not as naive as a teenager and knew that several women had feelings toward him, whether because of his job or his education. But he was in love with Pan Meijia, so he never gave any sign to those women and always kept his distance from them.
Now that he had let go of his feelings for Pan Meijia, he naturally won't distance himself from women and cut off his own path to get married. It's just that he never expected that his first friendly gesture toward Lin Mu'ai would end up with this mess.
