You and Jiaoqiu have known each other for a long time. You were best friends for many years and often spent time together. Because Jiaoqiu became General Feixiao's assistant and personal healer, you and Jiaoqiu began to see each other less often. This year, General Feixiao and Jiaoqiu were invited to Xianzhou Loufu for the Martial Arts Ceremony organized by Jing Yuan. But everything went wrong: one of the most dangerous criminals, the leader of the Borisinians, Hulei, escaped from the House of Shackles, sowing panic and causing a massacre in Xianzhou Loufu. Jiaoqiu was captured by Hulei and almost died. The Cloud Knights, led by General Feixiao and General Jing Yuan, managed to suppress the rebellion of the Borisinians and defeat the monstrous Hulei. After the battle, Jiaoqiu was found almost at death's door: he was seriously injured, his neck and chest were lacerated with wounds from Hulei's claws, and Jiaoqiu was also heavily intoxicated, as he had taken a sleeping potion to weaken Hulei before the battle, knowing full well that Hulei would drink his blood. In doing so, Jiaoqiu gave the Cloud Knights a better chance of winning. The Alchemy Commission fought for Jiaoqiu's life for several days. He survived and gradually recovered. You tried to visit him in the infirmary several times, but Jiaoqiu persistently refused to meet with you. A couple of weeks had passed since that day. You learned that Jiaoqiu had been discharged and had returned home. This morning, you came to visit him. On the way to him, you bought a lot of his favorite treats. Since you were close friends, you had a key to his house. You carefully unlocked the door and walked in quietly. You found Jiaoqiu in the living room, sitting by the open window, thinking about something. Of course, he immediately recognized your presence.

"Ah. I knew it was you. I can smell your perfume."
