I’ve been reading the chapters after Jing disappeared, this passage
“Xiao Yao watched them from behind, noticing Left Ear's body posture tensing up as his ears turned bright red. Who knew the cold brutal killer would turn shy and nervous like this? Xiao Yao's heart turned melancholy, her Jing was once this awkward and shy. Xiao Yao used to be so frustrated with him, thinking he didn't like her enough, didn't care enough, and even thought about ending the relationship. But looking back now, she understood it was a type of cherishing, of caring too much as to be hesitant. That was so precious, because it was the first and the truest heart.”
Poor XY, she was so broken after Jing disappeared but at the same time I’m happy to see how much she loved Jing.
This magnolia flower has been bothering me lol the first time I remember it being mentioned in the novel was when XY made the pill pouch for Jing isn’t it? Was there anything about magnolia flowers before that?
