This was the second time that Zhao Youyue and Shi Jingnian were meeting. She looked at the miserable, wheelchair-bound Shi Jingnian. She found this version of him marginally likable, compared to the time when he was still feeling good about himself, pleasing pretty girls in all sorts of ways.
Of course, even she could not deny that these winds of change were brought about by one radically different point. Shi Jingnian's official self-instatement as the author of "Bakuman" came as a pleasing development. Without him, there would be no Wen Qingyu who was quickly gaining popularity.
As things were, Shi Jingnian was a "Bakuman" himself. His dream was rather unrealistic, he had this vision of a "True Love Harem."
