"I know." Ye Xuan nodded. "I came back this late because I want to get familiar with things here as soon as possible. I requested this transfer so I could take better care of Ye'er; I really don't want to become a burden to her."
"How could our Xiao Xuan ever be a burden?" Grandpa chuckled, tapping him lightly with his cane. "You kid, why are you so lacking in confidence whenever you're with Ye'er?"
"Great Grandpa, it's not that I lack confidence, I'm just stating the facts. Aside from helping her at the very beginning, what I've brought Ye'er afterwards mostly feels like trouble.
And all those magical things that have happened to Ye'er have already decided that she absolutely won't live an ordinary, average life.
If I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, then I have to figure out my own path and work twice as hard. Only then, if one day she's tired and wants to rest, will I be able to hold up the sky for her."
