Your words gladden me. In fact, they've made me grin - Sizhui has noticed and he's looking at me strangely, so the benefits are twofold (I do enjoy keeping him on his toes).
As for Jiang Wanyin, I promise you, you've not actually wronged him in any way. The world from which we came has made him angry and jaded, which I myself played no small part in. And so when he meets someone like yourself who is not yet angry and jaded, he does his best to warn them to become so.
When they choose to believe the best in the world and in others instead of growing angry and jaded, it frustrates him. It's as if they're choosing to wander unprotected into a world which will eat them alive rather than accepting the armor he has gone out on a limb to offer them.
Should you truly wish to make amends, simply return to him and thank him for his efforts to help you. Tell him something like, you recognize that he has more experience with this place and is probably entirely correct, and you will reflect on all that he's told you.
And whatever you do, do not mention that I've helped you in making amends with him. Such a thing sours the whole effort, I'm afraid.
Wishing the best of luck in this endeavor, Wei Ying
