Jingli, "..."

Awkward.

Extremely awkward.

SO.

What should she say to ease the tension?

"I'm sorry... I..."

"You don't need to apologize, just listen to me. I'm sorry, Jing Li, for everything I did to you before... helping Cui Xueling hurt you, I need to take full responsibility."

I'm sorry to have made you pay for my foolishness... and thank you for sticking with me through the most critical time.

When I said I liked you, it wasn't to ask for your forgiveness, nor to put you in a difficult position. I just wanted to tell you my feelings because I was afraid that if I didn't say it, I would never have the chance again in my life...

I know that you must have used some methods to get into character and make a good TV series, perhaps related to your multiple personality disorder. If possible, I hope you will stop using such dangerous methods.

I love you the way you are now, I love you so much. I don't want your current personality to disappear like your old, cowardly personality...

Thank you for letting me, as Yu Jiashu, have a unique and sweet romance with you. Thank you for spending the most unforgettable time with me. Because of you, this unexpected event was no longer a shock, but full of surprises and touching moments...

From now on, we'll be friends, right?

With red eyes, Xiao Qi smiled brightly, her voice trembling slightly as she choked up.

Jing Li smiled and nodded.

If she had been sober at the time and hadn't had that brief and inexplicable 'romance' with Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi wouldn't have been able to take the bullet for her.

The most likely outcome is that she will be shot dead by Cui Xueling.

She saved Xiao Qi because of Yina's personality, and Xiao Qi repaid her in return, so they were even.

Xiao Qi mustered her courage and made one last request, "Can I, as Yu Jiashu, give you one last hug?"

Jing Li proactively extended her arms.

With tears streaming down his face, Xiao Qi walked slowly to her side and gently embraced her.

Goodbye... to Ina, who belonged only to me.

I really... can't bear to part with it...

"From now on, I will silently stay by your side as Xiao Qi. If Fei Mo dares to bully you, you must tell me, and I will help you beat him up..."

"You can't beat him, so I'll do it myself."

Jing Li answered with a smile.

"You're really not being fair. Can't you let me show off just once?"

Xiao Qi let go of Jing Li, took the tissue she handed him, wiped his tears, and chuckled as he teased her.

"Sorry, I'm a pretty honest person."

Jing Li shrugged innocently, and the two smiled at each other.

"By the way, when you came to me after you were injured, we were photographed by paparazzi. I posted an explanation on Weibo when I woke up. I'm sorry, because I caused you to be implicated again."

Xiao Qi apologized again.

"It's okay, I'll post an explanation on Weibo later. Our fans must be very worried about our disappearance."

Jing Li doesn't care much about the rumors, since they're all just shipping fake stuff anyway.

"Yes, our fans post on Weibo every day praying that we will be safe and sound. After they found out that you saved me, my fans even stopped opposing us being together and kept urging us to get married."

Xiao Qi smiled sweetly as she thought of the fans' comments.

Although he and Jing Li are no longer a possibility, he is still very happy, as there are fans who ship them as a couple online.

"That's going too far! I'm not even of legal marriage age yet..."

Jing Li smiled along, realizing she still had some lovely fans.
