He also said, "Women are passive creatures. At first, they're not willing, but after a few times, as long as you treat her well, she will eventually fall in love with you."
Mu Ye said to him self-deprecatingly, "I also want to force her, find an excuse or something to threaten her, and eventually she will be with me, but the other person is someone I love, and I can't bear to see her sad."
