Communication with Bai Yuchun or rather Xia Ji came to an abrupt end; what could He Qing do in front of such unwavering obsession and a firm belief that she had never harmed anyone? She was indeed at a loss for how to proceed.
She talked tough, as if might made right, but when it came down to it, she couldn't get past her own mental block. Moreover, since it was only an obsession and not even a soul, she truly had no solution at the moment. She could only give up in resignation, letting that stubborn, indestructible copper pea continue to wander freely.
She returned to the hostel and asked Long Weiyi for ways to eradicate obsessions, determined to resolve this ticking time bomb. Otherwise, what if it hooked up with a few men, and what if the obsession dissipated? Wouldn't the blissfully ignorant Bai Yuchun still suffer?
