Zhou Rong and Song Jiabao were both led away as they screamed 'impossible.' The only people left in the room were Song Xuanhe and co., still stuck in a deadlock.

Song Jiani suddenly started to sob loudly. Her loud wailing was completely different from her previous delicate cries. It was resounding like never before. She cried while wiping her tears. In a short amount of time, the makeup she had fixed was once again ruined. But this time, she didn't care about it. The joy from finding out that she was fine made her incapable of thinking of anything else.

Guan Zhi was stupefied. He walked over to Song Xuanhe and whispered, "What's with her?"

"She thought that she had been injected with a drug," Song Xuanhe explained in an insipid voice.

Guan Zhi paused and then looked at Song Xuanhe. "So it was fake? She didn't know?"

"She didn't before."

Zhou Nan had also heard what Song Xuanhe had said. He knew about what had happened. Furthermore, compared to Guan Zhi and Wei Chen, who had never interacted with Song Jiani before, Zhou Nan had frequently appeared at the same parties and banquets as Song Jiani in the past. They were close enough to greet each other whenever they met. Therefore, he scolded Song Xuanhe a bit indignantly. "Liking you is probably the worst thing to ever happen to Song Jiani."

Guan Zhi didn't know what had happened. He just didn't want to listen to this irritating crying anymore. "Why is she crying even though she knows she's fine?"

"Imagine you rushed in to save the person you liked in a moment of impulsiveness and you got hurt because of it. It's fine if they simply didn't need your help. In that case, even if you were hurt, you probably wouldn't mind it all that much. Now, imagine if the person you liked knew that what hurt you couldn't actually cause any damage. However, he didn't tell you that. He watched as you were overcome with fear and sadness without a care. Only when everything ended, did he say, 'oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that you're fine'. Would you feel angry? Would you feel upset?"

Guan Zhi furrowed his brows for a moment and thought about it. He then shook his head. "Why would I be upset? Isn't it a good thing that I'm okay?"

Song Xuanhe smiled and patted Guan Zhi on the shoulder approvingly. Guan Zhi was even more dumbfounded. He looked at Song Xuanhe, who was smiling, and then glanced at Zhou Nan, whose expression was difficult-to-describe. He didn't know why the words he had said had elicited two entirely different responses.

"Of course she'd be upset." Wei Chen walked over. "She's not upset over encountering danger, but because she's realized that the person she likes doesn't care about her at all."

"There's nothing in this world that can cause more despair and sadness than that."

Song Jiani's sobs paused. For a moment, silence befell the room. Everyone turned to look at her.

"He's right." Song Jiani's voice was terribly hoarse and there was still a sobbing quality to her voice. "Song Xuanhe, I no longer like you."

Song Xuanhe's gaze was calm as he watched her quietly. He waited for her to finish.

Song Jiani pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket carefully and gently dabbed at her running makeup. There were no mirrors here so she had no idea what she looked like at present. But even so, she didn't feel any panic or shame towards ruined makeup like she had before.

"This is the first time I've been able to clearly see that you will never like me." Song Jiani gripped her handkerchief tightly. "Furthermore, you've really changed. You're no longer the Xuanhe gege I liked. Therefore, I won't like you anymore. You've changed...you've become so much like Xiao Yuanmu."
