Zhao Nan sighed heavily and said, “Sooner better than later. Discovering that Zhang Liang is terrible now is a good thing. I was able to cut my losses in time. If it had been a bit later, we might have gotten married, and then I wouldn’t be able to escape.”

Xia Xin hugged Zhao Nan’s shoulder to offer comfort.

Zhao Nan’s personality was such that she could always find her own equilibrium. She didn’t need others’ comfort for everything that happened to her; she could pull herself through. She could reason through every situation and constantly improve herself.

This was the charm of Zhao Nan and the reason why Xia Xin wanted to cherish this friend no matter what. Because of Zhao Nan’s presence, Xia Xin was always inspired to become better.

After wiping away her tears, Zhao Nan sat up straight, returning to her usual positive self, and said, “Let that scum stay at the police station! Don’t let him affect our lives. We need to focus on our careers in the future!”

Xia Xin agreed, “You’re right!”

Suddenly, Zhao Nan turned toward Xia Xin and said, “I’ve been busy all day and forgot to ask you. What’s going on between you and Jing MO? You two seem to have known each other for a long time, so why have you been hiding it from

“Uh… it’s not that long, I think?” Xia Xin said. She thought about Jing MO, realizing that since she woke up, she had been busy with other matters and forgot to tell him that she had awoken.

“Don’t daydream, confess the truth!” Zhao Nan reminded Xia Xin.

Xia Xin honestly recounted the process of how she met Jing MO to Zhao Nan and concluded, “I originally intended to tell you, but after we had a fight, I never had a chance to tell you.”

Zhao Nan smiled and asked, “Do you think Jing MO likes you?”

Even though it was nighttime and expressions were hard to see, Xia Xin suddenly felt her face heat up and said, “D-Don’t make random guesses.”

Zhao Nan didn’t press further and simply said, “Love is part of life just as humans need water to survive; only the person who’s experiencing it knows.” She then drifted off to sleep.

Xia Xin took out her phone and messaged Jing MO, [Mr. Jing, I’m awake now. Thank you for your help yesterday. When are you free? I want to treat you to a meal as thank you for sending me to the hospital.]

Seeing that it was already 1 a.m., Xia Xin believed Jing MO should be asleep.

However, Jing MO’s reply came quickly, [Got it. I’ll let you know when I’m available.]

Now Xia Xin couldn’t sleep even more. Her mind was filled with thoughts of whether Jing MO really liked her. She thought, ‘But we hadn’t spent that much time together. How could Jing MO possibly develop feelings for me?’

After resting at home for two days, the wounds on Xia Xin’s arms had mostly healed. The wound had formed scabs, and the cuts from the glass had been stitched up; she just needed to wait a few more days before the stitches could be removed. This didn’t affect her usual activities, so she went back to work at the zoo.

Mainly, Xia Xin returned to work because she had been overthinking things too much at home. Working would help her distract herself.

Xia Xin had been worried that Slowpoke might not eat properly, but when she went to the rockery, she found that its mental state had improved significantly. It was willing to eat the food others fed it as well. Only then did Xia Xin feel relieved.

After that, Xia Xin went to the zoo director’s office to request to cancel her leave.

Lu Yuan saw Xia Xin and said happily, “Xin, you’ve done well. We’ll give you a bonus at the end of the month.”

Xia Xin was confused and asked, “Mr. Lu, did something happen? Why are you suddenly giving me a bonus?”

Lu Yuan explained, “Haven’t you been online these past few days?”

Xia Xin had been busy taking care of Layle and herself these past two days; she didn’t have time to check online comments.

Lu Yuan said, “The first episode of the variety show has been aired, and the response is great. Online discussions have reached 110 million, you can go and see everyone’s comments.”

Xia Xin opened the online comments and realized that the negative comments from the previous incident had been pushed down by positive ones. Netizens’ comments about her had changed from bad to good, with many praising her.

It turned out that because Xia Xin took care of the snub-nosed monkey, everyone could see that she truly loved animals. Coupled with her brave rescue, she had gained a lot of positive sentiment.

Some comments read, [Xia Xin risked her own safety to save someone and got hurt in the process. Her first reaction wasn’t to check her own injuries but to take care of Slowpoke. She’s really full of compassion.]

Another comment followed, [Isn’t this the Forest Princess, Xia Xin from the Capital Zoo?]

[Exactly! So when she says she wants to be a dedicated zookeeper and not enter the entertainment industry, she’s telling the truth.. Some people shouldn’t always suspect others’ motives!]
