[...Mo Ran really has grown up a lot. It made him feel bad for the way he spoke. It was one thing, to speak to a teenager like that (no, even then maybe it was also not the best approach) but Mo Ran is an adult now. An adult that, for some reason, seems to have a better relationship with Chu Wanning and here he is, screwing that up by being his usual unpersonable self.
But because he's unpersonable and too cold he doesn't know how to address it without losing face. So his words are a little stilted as he says,]
...of course. [Pause. And then, the tiniest bit more softly,] You are an adult now. In the future, I can only trust you won't be too reckless with your health.
[As always, when one argues with him he doubles down, but when the other person agrees he softens his stance...especially when it comes to Mo Ran.]
We were at Peach Blossom Springs. You were accused of something you didn't do so I took you and left.
[So I took you and left as if it were as simple as walking out, as if anyone could have done Mo Ran this favour so easily.]
