When netizens saw Lin Jiamu's post on Weibo, they immediately understood that he was clarifying that there was no emotional dispute between him and Mu Yan.
And he has always cared for Mu Yan because he hurt her family when he was young, so he wants to make it up to her.
As for why Mu Yan slapped him, maybe it's because she discovered his true nature, leading to their falling out?
But the words also suggest that he harbors some unrequited feelings for Mu Yan.
"I think I understand why Lin Jiamu pays so much attention to Mu Yan's every move now, and I also understand why after Mu Yan announced she had a boyfriend, he stopped paying attention; it's not that Mu Yan cheated, but he knew she already had someone protecting her, so he retreated quietly, kind of sad."
"No wonder netizens were scolding Mu Yan for cheating and angrily dumping Lin Jiamu earlier; she didn't come out to clarify, probably because some truths can't be told to outsiders— I don't think Mu Yan is that heartless."
