Yun Shishi nodded grimly. "I know that, too. I agree that he shouldn't be so reliant on me. But the fact is that he is so much more independent now compared to in the past."
"Actually, I can understand the bond between the two of you. After all, you've been there for him for a very long time, at least since he was born, so you are irreplaceable as his anchor. By the same token, you rely on him and he is irreplaceable as your anchor. It's just that it doesn't occur to you that he can't rely on you forever."
Yun Shishi grunted in agreement. "I understand. But the priority now is to find out what has happened to him?"
"Do you want Gong Fan to come back?" Alice asked her in a serious tone.
Yun Shishi did not answer at once, but looked at Alice hesitantly.
Alice sighed. "I can see you're hesitant. On the one hand, you can't bear to part with Gong Fan, but on the other, you don't want him to be dragging Youyou down, right?"
"Uh huh."
