It was not bad to have conflicts. Instead, it could be seen as part of the run-in process. Anyway, if the 'Virgin Mary,' sensitive Zheng Yi became partners with the cool, rational, and self-centered Chu Xuan, they would instead reshape each other's thoughts, thus complementing their strengths.
In such a situation, readers would be at ease. Initially, they were worried that the 'Virgin Mary'-styled protagonist would face loss after loss, and be the scapegoat time again. With Chu Xuan, Zheng Yi would never fall victim again. The only person who would victimize him would be Chu Xuan!
It would be interesting to watch. A loveless, sparkling relationship. Without either one of them, the squad would be incomplete.
