It was obvious that he was genuinely very emotional.
Gao Yang had indeed had a crush on Yun Jingxiao for a long time, but Yun Jingxiao's affection for Tan Jincheng was too obvious. It was written all over her face, and everyone knew it. Gao Yang's feelings were conflicted and complicated, so he didn't make a move on Yun Jingxiao.
Over the years, Tan Jincheng had always known that Gao Yang hadn't completely let go of Yun Jingxiao.
Tan Jincheng could understand why Gao Yang was so agitated.
Because back then, Gao Yang had clearly asked Tan Jincheng whether he liked Yun Jingxiao and whether he would accept her. Tan Jincheng had firmly answered that he wouldn't. He had his own guiding star in his heart, so how could he develop those kinds of feelings for Yun Jingxiao?
He had always treated Yun Jingxiao like a sister. Once he noticed Yun Jingxiao's feelings for him, he had even explicitly told her not to harbor any hopes because he would never agree to be with her.
