"Wide-Eyed and Wild": Maomao Flustered as Jinshi Goes in for the Kiss! The "Kissing Skirmish" in The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Finale

Has Jinshi (CV: Takeo Otsuka) finally reached his breaking point? In the Season 2 finale of the anime The Apothecary Diaries, a "kissing skirmish" broke out between Jinshi and Maomao (CV: Aoi Yuki).
In Episode 48, the final episode of the second season, Jinshi and Maomao shared a moment together following the suppression of the Shi Clan. Jinshi appeared utterly exhausted, his face marked with a fresh wound. Suddenly, he turned to Maomao and asked, "Am I a man whose value is lost with a single scar? Am I nothing more than a hollow facade?" Maomao shook her head with a smile, replying, "Actually, a few more scars might be better. You look even manlier than before, don't you think?" To Maomao, while Jinshi is peerlessly beautiful, his true value lies in his sincere character rather than just his looks.
