Chapter 370: Chapter 340: My Turn
Jackie Qualls stood in front of her, Hannah once again reached out to push him away.
She took a few steps forward and heard his voice from behind, "Hannah, what if I say I like you?"
In the deep black night, the man’s deep and steady voice was marked by an almost imperceptible tremor.
He was afraid.
Without turning around, Hannah said, "Jackie Qualls, you said it too, it’s just ’what if’."
With that, she waved her hand and walked into the building without looking back.
After she left, only Jackie was left standing alone in the night.
At some point, the moon had hidden behind the clouds, deepening the night even further.
The man who stood at the top under the stars was adored and beloved by everyone. Yet, no one knew that the heart of this Jackie Qualls had long been replaced by a desolate darkness.
Those fans who once promised to accompany you will eventually leave. Everyone’s heat will cool down and may even transform into invisible swords, leaving him covered in scars.
In a previous life full of hardships, Jackie regarded Hannah Winter as his only light precisely because, until life’s last moment, he still remained in her heart.
She loved him and that remained unwavering even unto death.
So he pursued her, once thinking this wasn’t love, but now...
He thought, he might have truly fallen for this girl.
Perhaps it was the first time he saw her again, with her eyes clouded with confusion, offering a drowsy smile his way.
At that moment, a seed was sown in his heart.
That evening, a trending topic suddenly appeared on Weibo.
#JackieQuallsDeletesInASecond#
It claimed that the post was deleted within seconds, but in reality, two minutes had passed.
Many netizens had taken screenshots.
—This time, let me protect you.
The simple phrase stirred the imagination of the netizens, who inferred a whole romance novel from those few words.
Some accounts had even spun out an entire story, such as "Unspoken Stories of the Actor and his Ex", "Ex-Girlfriend Love Me Once Again". Even more so, some directly linked it to the tale of "Runaway Bride with a Ball".
Their imaginations were indeed wild.
Of course, fans would never believe these stories, yet some logically thought that it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for someone Jackie’s age to experience love.
However, while everyone was engrossed in discussion, the post was deleted.
Thus the trending topic, #JackieQuallsDeletesInASecond#, emerged.
Naturally, this deletion further fueled their speculations.
The company made no official comment, leaving the fans in a frenzy.
Hannah, living in the age of 5G, also caught sight of this dynamic.
No one understood the meaning of Jackie’s words better than her.
Jin Lian scratched her head, "Master, is Jackie talking about you?"
Lying down, Hannah swung her legs in the air, "He could also be referring to you."
Jin Lian froze, then shook her fur, "No way, comparing myself with Jackie makes the neighbor’s cat seem much better."
"The neighbor’s cat?" Hannah turned her head to look at Jin Lian.
Jin Lian continued to gnaw at her foot, mumbling unclearly, "Yeah, it’s a system from next door, a black cat. It’s very proud because of its thick fur. It looks down on everyone, so annoying!"
With a smile on her lips, Hannah remarked, "Jin Lian and the neighbor’s cat, interesting."
Jin Lian didn’t hear her clearly, "Master, what did you say?"
Hannah shook her head, then asked her, "There haven’t been any broadcasts lately?"
"None." Jin Lian shook her head and scratched her ears, "There’s been some unrest in the Empire recently, many entertainment programs have been suspended, even our interstellar broadcast has been put on hold."
