Seeing this sentence, Xu Chuning suddenly froze.
If she hadn't been switched at birth, she and Shen Yubai would have been childhood sweethearts.
Definitely.
But in this world, there are too many things that don't come with ifs. What she lost, she gained elsewhere.
Before, Xu Chuning had never seriously thought about this, but now, upon reflection... it actually felt a bit regrettable. If she and Shen Yubai had grown up together, known each other from childhood, would they have been like the childhood friends in novels, growing up together, knowing each other thoroughly, and sharing everything?
Noticing the silence on Xu Chuning's end, Shen Yubai continued to ask: [Why aren't you talking?]
Xu Chuning came back to herself: [I was just busy.]
She didn't really want Shen Yubai to know that she was fantasizing about them being childhood sweethearts.
Shen Yubai: [Okay then.]
Xu Chuning changed the subject: [Yeah, I'm going to stop talking now, feeling a bit sleepy.]
