Juan, judging by the very first chapters, Jian Yi will also disappear, and it will happen quite soon. But apparently, nothing will develop between him and Zhen Xi until Jian Yi returns, when Zhen Xi will already be studying at the university. When Jian Yi returns, Zheng Xi will act much colder and more distant towards him than in the flashbacks (which we are currently reading). I'm afraid that from their current status of best friends/almost boyfriends, they will move towards just acquaintances, unfortunately. Maybe that's why Old Xian hasn't let their relationship develop for so many years. But it doesn't get any easier for me... It's just that I've been reading this manhua for 8 years, and the fact that the focus has almost completely shifted to HeMo in the last 5 years upsets me. Not because He and Mo are bad (they're not!), but because I really miss Jian Yi and Zhen Xi 🥺
