### Summary
This chapter continues to develop the romance between Leslie and Conrad, focusing on the theme of jealousy and communication. A key scene involves Conrad's direct and unhesitating admission of jealousy, which many readers praised as a refreshing and ideal trait for a male lead. However, this sparked significant debate, with a portion of the audience criticizing the narrative's suggestion that "jealousy is a sign of love." These readers argued that trust is a healthier foundation for a relationship and expressed concern about romanticizing a potentially toxic emotion. The chapter introduces two energetic new characters, the twins Xian and Vian, whose identical appearance despite being different genders drew commentary on the common, biologically inaccurate manhwa trope. A major comedic point for fans was the revelation that Leslie's brother, Ruenti, has written a book about her, a move celebrated as both hilarious and perfectly in character. Readers also noted a potential translation issue where a change in dialogue removed the original context for one of Leslie's reactions. Despite the largely lighthearted and romantic tone, a few comments suggest an "ominous feeling" about this new mini-arc.
