Xie Landi looked blankly at Chiang Xiao. She had heard about Chiang Xiao's background but hadn't expected it to be so harsh.
"So, if I care so much about what others think, if I get insulted, should I have already gone looking for a way out?"
"Of course not!" Xie Landi said urgently, "If you had done that earlier, how could you be as good as you are now?"
Chiang Xiao pursed her lips into a smile, looked at her, and said, "Yeah, if you die now, how would you know your future wouldn't be good?"
"Chiang Xiao, I..." Xie Landi hadn't expected Chiang Xiao to know she had thoughts of ending her life just now.
"Xie Landi, do you think you're worse than everyone else? You're not. You have to know that many kids in poor mountain villages don't even have the means to go to school. Your village must have some like that, right?"
Xie Landi nodded.
