What if this time, instead of him and Jing Li, it was Cui Xueling and him who were tied up?
This was a scene that Xiao Qi had imagined countless times.
But the result only left him disheartened.
In the immediate aftermath of the explosion, Cui Xueling would never have rushed to his aid; he might even have been injured trying to protect her.
Choi Seol-ryung would never risk her life to clash with the rebels for the sake of an unrelated staff member.
If it were him and Cui Xueling who were locked up here, she would probably just cry and beg for his protection.
Xiao Qi always thought that his preferences were within a framework, like how he used to like the innocent and pure type.
They are fragile and need careful nurturing. Without their owner's care, they are likely to wither and die.
He liked Cui Xueling and chose Cui Xueling because he had put her into his own framework.
No matter how outrageous her actions were, he would always tell himself that this was his own choice, so why bother arguing with her? He should just spoil her.
But at this moment, he realized that there are no boundaries to liking someone.
Her looks and personality may not be your ideal type, but she has a fatal attraction for you.
I like her not because she happens to be my type, but because... she is just who she is!
Men, it turns out, are not entirely strong; they also get tired and afraid.
He also wants someone to pamper him, someone to love him, and someone to be willing to do anything for him.
Just like... Yina loves Yu Jiashu!
Tragically, he fell in love with someone else and discovered his true feelings, but Jing Li only saw him as Yu Jiashu!
If she were Jing Li instead of Yina at this moment, would she still protect him so selflessly, act coquettishly towards him, and pamper him?
The answer is also... no!
She might help him, but she would never be so close to him, act coquettishly towards him, or show him her most clingy and alluring side without reservation.
His love affair was over before it even began.
What is the real Jingli like?
When she falls in love with someone, will she, like Ina, appear strong on the outside but be able to show her most vulnerable side to her lover?
Fei Mo... Have you ever seen her like this before?
The mere thought that Jing Li might have acted coquettishly towards Fei Mo or other men in the same way made Xiao Qi's heart ache as if it had been doused with sulfuric acid.
He even thought that it would be fine if he could never return to his motherland.
At the very least, Jing Li will always be his Yina, and she will never wake up from her slumber...
Her fierceness, her charm, her sweetness, her doting... all of it belongs only to her!
Jing Li...I like you!
With red eyes, Xiao Qi confessed softly.
He had told Cui Xueling he liked her countless times, but never once had he been so serious, so desperate…
"I know, I like you too, Yu Jiashu."
His response was Jing Li's radiant smile, but that smile never belonged to him; it belonged to... that non-existent TV drama character—Yu Jiashu!
Feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart, Xiao Qi was about to say something when she interrupted him.
"Okay, go to sleep. The situation is getting worse. We need to get enough rest and escape as soon as possible..."
Jing Li patted his back and said softly.
"Is it possible to escape...?"
Xiao Qi smiled bitterly.
If he could, he wouldn't even... want to run away!
