When Ji Weiwei woke up, Lěng Yè had already quietly departed. The warmth beside her dissipated along with his departure. Ji Weiwei struggled to sit up and sat in a daze on the edge of the bed. Her body seemed to have recovered considerably; she no longer felt dizzy, and her breathing was much steadier. Yet, an inexplicable sense of emptiness welled up in her heart.

She looked at herself in the mirror, and a blush crept unbidden onto her cheeks. "Am I really that terrible?" she muttered to herself. Although she felt a twinge of regret, knowing that she had at least fulfilled her grandmother's entrustment made the sense of loss in her heart recede just a little.
