[The company is something Jiang Cheng agrees on, but would never dare say aloud.
It does not surprise him to hear about the training. His life was the same, and maybe it was equally as bad for both of them. Mingjue and Madame Yu had similar scruples.
He continues easing the boat along, but his lips thin as he keeps his eyes out over the water. He can't hold any of it against Huaisang. He didn't ever go to Qinghe either, and he didn't exactly do much when Mingjue was declared dead. He thought about Huaisang, but just thinking isn't enough.]
I would have accepted you as a guest.
[He doesn't know if he would have said he didn't have time. He might have been a little put-off in his stupid, young, ambitious ways. That would've been on him. Would he have wanted to see Huaisang?
Maybe a small part of him would have. Maybe a small part had needed it.]
