Chapter 47: You Must Pretend

One evening, Xu Qing figured it all out.

He had an epiphany.

This naive Jiang He, he definitely couldn't rest easy if he left her with someone else. Besides, she probably wouldn't want to be with someone else either—waiting for her identity issue to get resolved, who knows when that would happen. With no social life, she could only mooch off him for the long term.

Since arriving in this world, he was the only one she could rely on. It was only natural for their relationship to take a step closer.

Not to mention, this girl wasn't so easy to fool. Take it slow, be prepared, and in any case, there would still be other options when the time came.

Then again, perhaps she might suddenly 'whoosh' back to where she came from before breaking through...

Before he knew it, dawn had broken.

There was a thin layer of frost on the trees outside early in the morning, and it was colder than the day before.
