An Baobei seeks peace and quiet but is joined by Ning Zihan. He teases her about her unusually modest sunbathing attire and her indecision about livestreaming. After acknowledging Ning Zihan's support and realizing she had already decided to continue her career, An Baobei questions what he likes about her. Ning Zihan struggles to articulate it, stating it's a feeling and that she is different from others, ultimately saying he wouldn't settle for a replacement when he has the real thing.

An Baobei said, "It’s not that I don’t like you!" In other words, so, you should still go find a replacement.

Ning Zihan stared at her, "Do you truly not like me at all?"

Being fixedly and intensely stared at like this, An Baobei wanted to lie and say she didn’t like him at all, but each time she opened her mouth, she just couldn’t say it.

Yet, she didn’t want to admit that she liked him a little either, so she turned her head and faced him with the back of her head.

Seeing An Baobei like this, Ning Zihan didn’t have the heart to pressure her. He sighed lightly, feeling helpless yet heartbroken, and then spoke again: "I know you already like me a bit, and I know what you’re afraid of. I understand why you’re like this. If it were me who got hurt by you, and then you asked me to like you again, I’d also be as scared as you are now. But I will wait. No matter how long, I’ll wait."

Wait no matter how long...

"Wait for what? What if you say you don’t like me again next week, and tell me not to like you anymore?" An Baobei was stirred by this remark, flipping over and sitting up, loudly accusing Ning Zihan with red eyes.

What’s she afraid of, isn’t it just afraid of getting hurt by him again?

He likes her now, he’s pursuing her, but can he guarantee a lifetime? She wants a lifetime, not just a moment!

Moreover, he said he didn’t like her before, told her not to like him. Now he’s saying he likes her, is pursuing her consistently, even more changeable than she is... So, even if he promises at this moment to like her for a lifetime and to be good to her, she can’t believe it, can’t bring herself to believe.

Even though the sunglasses hid An Baobei’s already reddened eyes, Ning Zihan could hear her choked voice, which made his heart ache instantly, and he leaned over to embrace her.

Before he could hold her, she began to struggle, not allowing him to hug her, but he insisted on holding her.

Once he embraced her, she struggled several more times, struggling so much that the sunglasses fell off, realizing she couldn’t break free, she finally stopped struggling and sobbingly punched him, beat him.

She cursed at him still: "If it weren’t for the way you were before, we wouldn’t have ended up like this, wouldn’t have... would never have... woo woo..."

Whose fault is it now? The culprit is certainly Ning Zihan alone.

Ning Zihan himself knew this too, feeling terribly heartbroken, feeling even more for the person in his arms, not knowing what to say, he just held her tightly, kept holding her.

But feeling is too unbearable, in the end, he opened his mouth, repeatedly whispering in her ear: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry... I’m sorry..."

He never intended to hurt her, really never thought of it, back then, he just didn’t want her to be hurt by him, he thought he would just spend his life alone, not planning to fall in love, not planning to marry, afraid she’d become too involved with him and suffer greater hurt, that’s why he acted like that.

Who knew, it led to her being hurt beyond repair.

It even had a butterfly effect, implicating her family. Thankfully, her younger siblings are healthy now, otherwise, she would definitely hate both herself and him for a lifetime.

Hearing Ning Zihan continuously apologizing beside her ear made An Baobei cry even harder, said nothing more, just focused on crying loudly, while pounding Ning Zihan.

But the crying was too intense, she’d never cried like this before, as though wanting to cry out all the grievances she suffered from him, she hit him a few more times, lost the strength to hit and just focused on crying loudly.
