He did not expect that she would suddenly mention him, so he looked up at her.

However, Jacqueline could not see their actions. She lowered her head and replied shyly, “Yeah, I do like Shane. To me, he's like a big tree that can protect me from anything. That's why I've never gotten over him. But today, Jackie confessed to me. Only then did I know that he'd always loved me.”
