[Congratulations, that actually got Wei Ying to shut up for a moment. A deafeningly long moment, caught between different flavors of frustration in remembering his foolishness of his young adulthood and continuing to see Jing Yuan deflect.

But it took a deflector to speak to one, didn't it? This isn't about Wei Ying.]

It's your actions now that we're talking about, Yuan'er. Your happiness. If they welcomed you back into their life, doesn't that mean they wouldn't accept you disregarding your happiness?

[He welcomed Wei Ying back despite it all. The circumstances were massively different, maybe Wei Ying didn't deserve it, but because of that he was deeply invested in seeing Jing Yuan have a bright future with these old friends.]
