"No need to thank me, I just got carried away with the joke."
Facing Fran's serious thanks, Fu Qian responded with a smile, using the other person's line.
In less than half a minute, the intense tension from a moment ago dissipated into thin air, and the atmosphere was completely harmonious.

"It seems Jessica really isn't here."

"Actually, I should have realized it earlier."
"Even if she hadn't met with an accident, and her actions weren't restricted, the chances of her returning were still extremely slim."
"Looking back now, my insistence on coming up here was quite irrational, merely to satisfy a bit of obsession."
