There are many types of emotions, and infatuation is one of them.
Xiao Qiao is very infatuated with people older than her, genteel and mature, to the point of a kind of crazed obsession.
She holds respect for those with great knowledge, which is quite surprising for a tomboy like her; the only explanation is an emotional deficiency in her heart that she cherishes deeply what she's lacked before.
Who is Xiao Qiao? She is the sect leader among friends, a woman who acts like the wind, her heart overly cold and hard. She easily feels fondness for a person and becomes infatuated, but it's difficult to truly fall in love.
If she truly loved someone, how could she have spoken her choice so easily back then?
If she really faced a choice she couldn't make, Xiao Qiao would rather shoot herself and end it all.
So, human emotions are very complex, and it's normal not to differentiate between love and infatuation at times.
Infatuation is not necessarily love.
