"What gives you the right to be so calm and composed, as if no one has anything to do with you and everyone owes you something? We don't seem to have done anything wrong."
"Exactly. Whatever happened with you before has nothing to do with this. I don't think you need to act so high and mighty."
Jiang Lan felt a little wronged after hearing this.
"How are we acting high and mighty? We haven't done anything. Do we have to spoon-feed you, too? You lack the ability to get resources yourselves, and when someone else gets them, you go and argue with them. Don't end up doing something so embarrassing. You're not even as good as the people from Other Bases."
Shen Qingqiu stood to one side. He had kept silent, but when he spoke, his words stunned everyone, leaving them red-faced.
"How come you get to say everything? If we really thought that way, then how... how could I possibly not react?"
"Exactly. I think you're making too much of this."
Back then, they had only made an offhand remark, and had even just wanted to make these situations normal.
But afterward, he realized he had been wrong, no matter how harmonious this was supposed to be.
Or rather, whatever they did to achieve their goal, none of it worked anymore.
"I thought none of you knew. But this is about right for now. At least it won't be able to change, and it's already been so long."
If only his attitudes had become normal, or the things that followed had been useful.
They would not have waited so long without seeing any contrast.
"Then I more or less understand, and there won't be any more of those arrangements. Everything can be considered to have achieved its effect."
