Do you... have... an adult mentor you trust who understands matters of... "multiple suitors", as your father is putting it?
[Huaisang... really doesn't want to volunteer. And yet, if this kid doesn't have a responsible adult who will respond to the idea with anything other than "don't", Huaisang can't just turn his back.]
[Oh, thank goodness. Beitang has the situation handled. Huaisang can return to blissful ignorance.]
I'm glad to hear that. I respect Lord Beitang's perspective on these matters very much.
One last piece of advice from me. Don't feel guilty about hurting him over this. That won't help, and it's not what happened. He's confused, and he's afraid that he's failed you. Help him to understand that love is never a failing.

But I'll try. Of course I'll try.
