"Of course. If even I'm no good, then who is?" Zhao Qian let out a chuckle, her large eyes filled with tenderness.
I couldn't help feeling guilty. "I was too rash. It's all because of the time difference. After coming down here, I've been suspicious of everything, afraid that all of you had changed your hearts."

"Oh... But wasn't that just now..." Quan Chanyu
