Liu Yiyi returned to the hospital before three o'clock. Shu Qiyu was still fast asleep in the exact same position, a trail of drool at the corner of his mouth. Liu Yiyi gently pulled up the blanket that had slipped down and wiped the corner of his mouth, looking at his sleeping face and thinking, "He really is just a child." Taking a pillow and a blanket, she walked over to a nearby sofa, lay down, and drifted into a light sleep.
A new day began, and Cheng Xingxing kept her promise on schedule. Liu Yiyi watched Cheng Xingxing's apology video; it was sincere and humble, actually looking like a proper expression of apology. However, the questions in the comment section gave her pause. The voices of doubt from certain people were stirred up right then and there. Cheng Xingxing offered no response, and the speculations in the comment section grew endless. Some people claimed they had seen Liu Yiyi go looking for her, leading to rampant guesses that the two of them had struck some kind of deal...
Up to this point, the progression of events was entirely within Liu Yiyi's control. Cheng Xingxing's words were half-true and half-false; she could close one website only to open another, and her apology could easily be framed as having been forced upon her. Liu Yiyi had wanted to give her a chance, allocating just half a day for the apology, and sure enough, it seemed the other party didn't appreciate it at all.
