"Did you manage to achieve it back then?"
"No." Ren Ye shrugged. "I couldn't do it myself, so I pinned my hopes on you."
"I'll try."
"You should say, 'I'll just be casual about it.' You don't need to live for anyone else. You only experience life once. Why spend most of your time and energy on others?" Ren Ye genuinely felt for her. "You don't owe Fu Ya anything. When Fu Ya took you home years ago, you brought her much joy and warmth. You took meticulous care of her when she was ill, so you've already repaid her kindness. You don't need to feel regret for her passing either. Countless parents in this world pass away without their children by their side, and you don't see those children retracing their parents' past paths, trying to live out some unfulfilled part of their parents' lives for them."
