Sun Lian was discharged from the hospital today. Shang Yu planned to take him for some local specialties in Yuecheng before heading back to Mingning, a plan with which Qi Jingtao agreed.
Having drunk quite a bit the night before, the two of them had spent the previous day resting at the hotel. Both felt a bit guilty about what happened that night, but Shang Yu was thick-skinned.

As for himself, despite knowing Shang Yu’s feelings and acknowledging that he did indeed like him, he knew things shouldn't have developed this way.
