"Why?" Xu Huo overlapped with his younger self and asked this question.
"People's thoughts are the most dangerous thing. A single thought can at least affect a person's behavior for a long time, and in special cases, this can extend to a lifetime," the doctor said in a calm voice, neither as gentle as when faced with coquetry nor as indifferent as when declaring a failure. He was merely stating a fact.
"To show weakness to achieve one's goal is feasible, but senseless concern is unnecessary."
"Especially pity right in front of you."
This wasn't a warning from an adult or an elder to a child, but rather a conversation built on equal footing.
"Why is it unnecessary?" Xu Huo said, "I think you need my concern."
"The weak need the concern of others," the doctor said, his tone becoming gentle again, "between you and me, who do you think is the weaker one?"
Xu Huo remained silent for a while before reluctantly admitting, "Me."
