But one day, he was caught in a corner of a banquet embracing Ji Fanxing, a woman he considers his sworn enemy, and burying his face in her neck, pleading, "Xing'er, please like me again, okay? I'd give you my life." Later, the usually gentle Ji Fanxing, like a rabbit with its fur standing on end, brandished a bottle and pointed at him: "Who dares say anything bad about my little one! I'll fight you to the death!" In that life-or-death moment, where she thought he couldn't see, she said, "If he's in hell, I choose to sink with him." She was the little star he had been searching for for over 20 years, and he was the god who warmed and saved her with his entire life.
