"Otherwise? Maintain this naivete? It's fine when someone's got your back, but..."
As he ate, Feng Yuan spoke calmly. As for the rest of the words, Liu Wenli and Wei Fangwu would surely understand, and Mo Li could probably guess their meaning, it's just uncertain whether he would change.
"It really makes one envious."
Liu Wenli sighed, glancing at the spaced-out Wei Dingwu, and felt a tinge of melancholy thinking about her own past, while Feng Yuan smiled and said,
"What? Envious?"
"Yeah, why couldn't someone have helped me like that back then..."
"Although I'd like to say that if someone had helped you back then, you might have developed a habit of depending on others, but..."
"That's just scaremongering～"
Looking at Feng Yuan, Liu Wenli smiled slightly without responding and, after a long while, murmured softly,
"I really wish I had someone to rely on too..."
"There's actually no need to be envious of you, we're all similar, or perhaps, you might..."
