"Of course... I do!" Fang Zhengzhi replied after a brief moment of hesitation.
Chi Guyan chuckled and leaned back, seemingly unsurprised by Fang Zhengzhi’s answer. She turned to look at a row of trees in the village.
"Shameless Thief, we’ve known each other for eight years right?"
"Probably..." Fang Zhengzhi replied flatly.
"Do you think that each and every tree would grow the same way over eight years?" Chi Guyan’s eyes glowed faintly.
"Of course not. They each receive different amounts of sunlight and grow in different soil. These will all affect their growth." Fang Zhengzhi replied without hesitation.
"Now, what if the sunlight, soil, nutrition, weather, and every other environmental factor were the same?" Chi Guyan pressed.
Fang Zhengzhi was thrown off. He had never thought about it that way. There was no wa this hypothetical scenario could ever come true. How could two trees ever receive the same coverage of sunlight?
