But he could easily feel that the girl's mood was very low, like a fallen flower that lost its charm.
But he did not know how to comfort her, so he quietly accompanied Chloe.
Finn was silent, and Chloe realized that she was getting a little too emotional. She lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry."
Finn wanted to raise his hand to comfort the girl, but he put it down before he lifted it up. This was just a stranger, and too much concern would only lead to misunderstanding.
"Nothing. Maybe there was something wrong with what I said that caused you so much pain."
Chloe shook her head. "No. I was just... thinking about some bad memories. It's my problem."
Then she stood up and wanted to leave. No one was willing to show their loss to others, let alone to a stranger.
When she left, he was alone in the quiet garden.
Finn was about to get up when someone else approached.
Magnus walked up to Finn without a sword and dressed casually. "May I have a word with you?" Magnus asked.
Finn sat down again. "We don't seem to know each other very well," he said.
But Magnus didn't care. He just wanted to talk to someone.
"I've been in a low mood lately." Finn wanted to leave when he saw that Magnus didn't respect him, but hearing Magnus's words, he sat down again.
"I know something, but I can't change it or even tell anyone what I want to do."
Finn wanted to ask what it was, but he didn't. "You live in the Qian family. Is there something the Qian family can't do?"
Magnus shook his head. "Maybe that's my biggest obstacle I have been practicing martial arts for 14 years, and since I was four years old, I have been using medicine liquid to wash myself. At that time, I lived a painful life as I had to practice myself."
"This lasted for a whole year before I was qualified to practice martial arts of my family."
"Since you are practicing martial arts, you have to endure hardships. And now that you are at such a high level. In addition to your talent, efforts are also important," said Finn.
But Magnus smiled wryly, "What's the use of it? I can do nothing."
The flowers fell on his shoulders and hair, but Magnus didn't care about it. There was a look of despair in his eyes. He had his head down, seeming to be suffering deep sorrow.
Finn didn't know anything, so he couldn't say anything, just sitting there like an invisible man.
Magnus did not mind, but added, "She didn't think I know it, but how can I not know? The way she looks at me and talks to me is enough to express her feelings."
"When I feel strange, I will naturally go to check it. When I knew the truth, I became crazy, crazy to get her back immediately. But soon I calmed down. This is the Qian family."
Speaking of the Qian family, Magnus was depressed. It was like he was suppressed by a mountain and he couldn't breathe.
"I hate myself for my cowardice. I've been practicing my sword skills all my life, but I can't use it to protect the person I care about. What's the use of my practicing the skills?"
He threw his head back, and was surrounded by despair.
Finn didn't want to say anything, but looked at his pain, he finally said, "Are you still a man?"
