Feeling that something was wrong, Xia Lihua turned her head to look at Sakura Watanabe.
She saw the unshed tears in Sakura's eyes.
A little surprised, Xia Lihua softened her voice. "Why do you want to quit?"
"I don't believe I'll make it through the next elimination. If I can't qualify, I have to return to my home country," Sakura said with a trembling voice. "At this point, I think it's better to just go back home."
Xia Lihua nodded in understanding. "Then give up."
Sakura Watanabe: "...." *speechless*
If Sakura made that decision, Xia Lihua didn't want to meddle, but she still shared her thoughts. "But I have a feeling that you don't want to give up, do you?" Xia Lihua spoke in Japanese with a distinct accent. "You haven't fulfilled your dreams yet, so how can you give up so easily?"
Sakura was stunned. "How do you speak Japanese so well?..."
