"So you've been trying hard to make yourself strong? Spending all your time on effort, missing out on the joys of youth, right?"
An Li finished the sentence he hadn't completed.
Wen Linyu nodded, somewhat regretfully: "Even so, I still can't compare to my younger brother. I knew early on that Suihan's talent is something I can never reach, no matter how hard I try."
"Do you feel jealous?" An Li asked a naive question.
Wen Linyu nodded: "I used to as a child, but not after I grew up. He's my brother, I love my family dearly, and he does too. No matter how excellent he is, he always gives the best to me, his foolish older brother. He lets me have the upper hand in everything. I am the least promising in our family, and the most easily softened, which is why I've taken many detours in this half of my life, causing Suihan quite a bit of worry along the way."
An Li didn't think Wen Linyu was foolish, but she envied the affectionate bond between the brothers.
