When Cai Yiren confessed her feelings to him, Qin Zhigu was taken aback. He never expected that the girl he had always seen as his "buddy," also had feelings for him.
While Cai Yiren confessed, she also made clear: "Wei Hui is my best friend, and you're the person she loves most. My confession today isn't about getting anything in return. I just want to tell you I've liked you for a very long time. Please forgive my audacity today and forget about what I said. I don't want to lose my two best friends."
Qin Zhigu wasn't sure what to say until Qin Zhiyou returned with Lu Weixi. They didn't watch the fireworks for long before Lu Weixi went to bed early, and she didn't seem in high spirits the next day. After observing for a few days, he realized that Cai Yiren was exactly like she said: she didn't pester him or disturb their relationship but quietly concealed her feelings. While he was relieved, he occasionally helped her out a bit.
