The true essence of giving, perhaps, means this:
Giving something that originally belonged to oneself to another, and after that, it no longer belongs to you, but to the person you gave it to.
Ye Shiyu could never understand such behavior.
To her mind, giving seemed more like a subtle "exchange."
I give you something hoping to get something else in return from you.
Like in a couple, giving gifts is to hope for emotional or physical reciprocation from the other person.
Adults give things hoping the other person will do something for them...
If that's the case, why not just exchange directly, why call it "giving"?
Or perhaps the true meaning of giving is the selfless "offering"?
Then why has she never seen an example like this?
"..."
With these thoughts, Ye Shiyu stood up perplexedly, took out her room key card, and headed to the elevator, planning to return to her room.
