At the slightest bit of guilt or sadness in her expression, Wen Ning immediately regrets his response. She's just trying to help! She hasn't done anything wrong, so she shouldn't feel glum if he doesn't understand. There's merely a learning curve for all of this.

"I-I-I'm sure I'll figure things out!" He gives her a weak, awkward smile, hoping to lighten things up. "Your encouragement is... very bolstering! See, I'm feeling better about things already." He straightens up. It's important to look positive. He can't tell how old she is, but if she's not a fairy or immortal being of some sort then she might be on the younger side. Such a sweet little girl doesn't deserve to have her help turned away.

"All new experiences are confusing at first, right?"
