Yan Qing realized he kept his distance because he feared becoming emotionally attached to Shang Xin Lei, while Bunny Heroine’s fate and his game-playing rules made their paths seem incompatible.

• Yaoshi Yuan noticed that Bunny Heroine’s deals had given her more spirit jade and better items than their agreed split, and wondered whether Yellow Dog had arranged the help.
