Ji Chiming's expression grew more disappointed. After a while, he seemed to finally become a bit sober, and his smile had a tinge of self-mockery, "I told myself I didn't dare to believe it, how could it be true, and it turns out it's indeed false."
"Senior, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry..."
"Stop saying sorry." Ji Chiming said, "As compensation for me, let's start dating."
