Gu Qili didn't expect Qi Meihui to suddenly wake up, and it was only after a brief moment of shock that she immediately loosened Qi Meihui's hand, saying somewhat awkwardly, "You're awake."
The warm sensation that had just been present on her hand suddenly disappeared, and Qi Meihui glanced softly at the spot that had just been held.
She was suddenly reminded of a phrase: "Shake hands to make peace."
At times like this, not only does the body become fragile, but the heart also starts to soften. Qi Meihui thought about how she had always been confrontational with Gu Qili. She realized that she had done wrong—she had always been unassuming, never flaunting her abilities. Her hostility toward Gu Qili was merely due to jealousy and disdain, further complicated by the relationships with Mu Hewen and Mu Shuoqian, which made it impossible for her to ever take a liking to Gu Qili.
