Jing MO replied casually, “It’s not serious. You just slept for a day and a night. You can’t skip meals, so they gave you IV drip.”

That reassured Xia Xin. She confirmed that forcibly controlling animals was too energy-consuming. However, she needed to think about ways to exercise and strengthen herself with items from the Shop. Fainting like that wasn’t a good situation to be in.

While Xia Xin was pondering that, her stomach suddenly let out a loud rumble.

She awkwardly smiled and looked at Jing Mo. She said, “Are you free tonight? Let me treat you to dinner.”

Jing MO hadn’t expected the dinner to unfold in this way. He replied helplessly, “What do you want to eat?”

“Whatever you like. Since I’m treating you, you can decide,” Xia Xin said. Jing Mo’s expression remained unchanged as he asked, “Are you sure?”

Blinking, Xia Xin said, “I want to have budae jjigae, hehe.”

After sleeping for a day, Xia Xin felt she needed a good meal. She ordered the budae jjigae, grilled meat, and double cheese. The sight of the food made her appetite surge.

Xia Xin was ravenous by now, so she didn’t care about maintaining her image and just dug in.

Jing MO wasn’t fond of greasy food to begin with, and as an actor, he had dietary restrictions. He couldn’t consume high-calorie foods, so he only had some vegetables and mostly watched Xia Xin eat.

Jing MO had initially suspected that Xia Xin might be someone he knew, but now he was certain. Xia Xin was the person he had been searching for.

Finally finishing her meal, Xia Xin looked up and saw Jing MO staring at her all this time. She blinked in confusion and asked, “Is there something on my face?”

Jing MO chuckled, “No.”

Perplexed, Xia Xin questioned, “Then why are you looking at me like that?” Jing MO replied, “I find it amusing watching you eat. It’s very appetizing.”

Xia Xin looked at the barely touched chopsticks in front of him and said, “Do you really find it appetizing? You hardly ate anything.”

Jing MO didn’t answer.

After a moment, Xia Xin suddenly asked, “Why do you always treat me so well?

It’s like ever since we met, you’ve been really kind to me. Do you like me?”

Jing MO couldn’t help but laugh. “This seems more like the real you. You used to be so polite all the time.”

Xia Xin explained, “That’s because we weren’t familiar back then, so of course, I had to be polite. Now, after experiencing life and death together twice, aren’t we considered friends?”

Jing MO nodded slightly and said, “Yes.”

Continuing, Xia Xin said, “If I think about it, you’ve saved me many times. It seems like you always appear at the right moment, like a guardian angel sent by the heavens to protect me.”

Jing MO smiled and said, “You flattered me.”

Wiping her mouth, Xia Xin looked at Jing MO seriously. She said, “Alright, now you can honestly tell me why you’ve always been so kind to me.”

Jing MO gazed at her with indulgence and asked, “Is this the only thing you’re curious about?”

Xia Xin thought for a moment and said, “There might be other things, but I can’t think of them at the moment.

So, Jing MO asked Xia Xin, “Do you remember saving a young man when you were young?”

Xia Xin thought hard for a while but couldn’t recall. Her little face wrinkled in concern, then she suddenly looked surprised and exclaimed, “I-it’s you!” She burst into laughter. “You’re so different from back then. No wonder I didn’t recognize you. But anyone seeing you now would never imagine you were the same person from before.”

Xia Xin continued talking to herself, not requiring a response from Jing MO,

“No wonder the first time we met at the pet store, I felt like your eyes were familiar. We really knew each other a long time ago!”

Jing MO pretended to be serious and teased, “So, you forgot about me?”

Xia Xin said, “Not really. It’s just… It’s been so long. I didn’t expect us to meet again, so I didn’t remember. It’s not my fault!”

“I’ve remembered all this time,” said Jing Mo.

Xia Xin pouted playfully and said, “That’s why I treated you to dinner today, as an apology.”

Jing MO couldn’t help but smile at Xia Xin’s playful demeanor. He said, “You’re like a child. I won’t hold it against you.”

Defiantly, Xia Xin retorted, “I’m not a child. I’ve already graduated. I’m an adult..”
