She got it wrong, Shujun was right.
She had been with them for over a year, but when it ca to "understanding," most of what she saw and felt was just the surface, what they wanted her to see. As for the inner core, she might have touched on it, but not deeply.
Just like with Yixuan.
She once believed that she understood Yixuan, but what was the result? Yixuan turned out to be a Bai Qiehei, harboring a past unknown to her.
A person’s character is greatly linked to their past experiences.
She had taken too much for granted.
Dong Huiying lowered her head, humbly seeking Shujun’s perspective.
Shujun said, "I think Elder Brother is like an onion, layer upon layer, peel one away and there’s another."
"Just like how I once thought that we were brothers, living under the sa roof for over twenty years. I thought I knew Elder Brother well, but whenever I thought so, sothing he did would always surprise . Over ti, I’ve learned to remain unperturbed, to not overreact even if he does sothing unexpected."
Dong Huiying’s expression beca very subtle.
An onion?
She thought to herself that Shujun’s analogy was... quite apt indeed!
Wasn’t it just like an onion?
At first, she heard that Zhi Chen once worked as an accountant at a tavern in the town, fad for his excellent calligraphy. Later, on the way to Jun City, she was caught by Su Lang’s bandits, where a Master, ingeniously resourceful, resided. She discovered another layer of Zhi Chen’s identity, thinking that was it, but little did she expect that behind Zhi Chen, there was yet another deeper secret.
She recalled the events that transpired in the Golden Triangle with a sigh.
Shujun rubbed her head.
"Elder Brother’s strength is his strong sense of responsibility, but ’the making and breaking are both Xiao He.’ Responsibility is both his rit and his flaw."
"Because of the brothers at ho, he considered himself the eldest and felt he should bear the responsibilities of a big brother. He beca very cautious and careful, afraid to make any mistakes."
"But I always thought living like Elder Brother was very tiring."
Dong Huiying deeply agreed.
Nodding like a pecking chicken.
Shujun took a lock of her long hair, playing with it thoughtfully.
He said, "Now, Elder Brother has amnesia, forgotten many things, and is a brand-new person. He no longer has those constraints, that sense of responsibility, and he can live life the way he wants."
"Compared to before, I think he must feel much more relaxed."
Shujun couldn’t help expressing his inner thoughts.
If not for the wife’s deep affection for Elder Brother, and Elder Brother’s profound love for his wife prior to his mory loss, he would have been happy to see this situation.
Elder Brother was too tired; forgetting was, in a way, a blessing.
As for what the wife ntioned about the Seventh Princess... he wasn’t worried.
Because he knew very well that even with mory loss, even if the past was forgotten, so things are deeply etched into one’s bones and hard to change.
Like Elder Brother’s ntality, like so of his ways of doing things.
Without the constraints, he would only beco more ruthless, more decisive, and even more indomitable.
