Culprit Gou Wen, 22, has apologized to Lin and said he only did it out of love.
“I love her so much but she didn’t know it and I didn’t know how to tell her," he was quoted by The Sun as saying. “So I did that thinking it was the ultimate way to show love."
But Gou isn't giving up, telling The Sun he's determined to "find another way" to win Zeng's heart.
