They had talked for so long tonight, initially about Yixuan’s issues and his psyche, and then the conversation shifted to the eldest brother.
Time flew by, too quickly, too hurriedly.
Almost in the blink of an eye, they realized it was already midnight.
Shujun wrapped her arms around her wife’s shoulders, giving them a gentle pat.
"Alright, don’t worry anymore. What you should do now is go to sleep early and rest. As for the eldest brother, even if you’re anxious, there’s nothing you can do."
"First, he doesn’t remember the past, he doesn’t know where his home is, you can’t expect him to find his way back on his own."
"Second, after he left the Golden Triangle, he disappeared. In the vast sea of people, where on earth could we start looking for him?"
"All we can do now is wait, continue waiting for news."
"When I received that letter, I had already made arrangements. Given my current circumstances, I might know few important people, but I know many common folks and low-level workers."
"Little people have their clever uses; there are no useless people in this world, only those who can be useful. Even the most ordinary person, if used properly, can produce unexpectedly effective results."
"So, I’ve had those people start inquiring about the eldest brother’s whereabouts. But the lands are vast, stretching far and wide, and we still don’t know how long we’ll have to wait to find him."
"Yun Ge has also made arrangements, although she doesn’t really like our family, but she likes you, right?"
Mentioning this, Shujun showed a jealous expression, yet her face was filled with some resignation.
"To have one true friend in life is already enough."
"Yun Ge will do anything for you, so even though she doesn’t like us, she has been helping secretly after the eldest brother disappeared."
"Her resources are many more than mine; her progress might be much faster."
"So all we can do now is wait, just keep waiting, and we will eventually receive news."
Dong Huiying sighed and closed her eyes.
She murmured, "I kind of miss her."
Shujun said, "Don’t worry, Hong Fei and the others can find Yun Ge. Whenever you want to see her, you can go."
A smile appeared on Dong Huiying’s face.
"What you said is right."
Shujun was absolutely right.
To have one true friend in life is indeed enough.
Initially, when they first met, Yun Ge’s affections were for the former Dong Daobao, and she was not Dong Dabao. Sometimes, did she feel like a thief?
Occupying something that originally belonged to someone else.
She wasn’t very good at handling this situation, so during their interactions, most of the time, she actually felt quite awkward.
Sometimes she couldn’t help but wonder, if one day Yun Ge discovered the truth, that she wasn’t Dong Daobao, that she was just occupying Dong Daobao’s body, what then?
Yun Ge’s feelings for Dong Dabao were so deep, if she ever learned the truth, she would definitely not be able to handle it. She might also find it difficult to forgive herself.
But she had to change!
Just like with Yixuan’s issue, she can’t just take, can’t confuse ignorance for innocence, nor use innocence to remain foolish. She can’t go with the flow, can’t just drift along; her nature was too passive.
And now, she wanted to become more proactive!
