"Hello, Yujian! Did you already complete your work at the pantry? I have to ask you for help if only you are willing to give us a helping hand" Li Xue said on the call. Though she wanted to roll her eyes on her own words, this was still the only way left for her. One should always know when to bend and how much to bend.
If your crouching a little is the only way left to bring you what you want, then it's better not to be neglected just to take care of your stiff and arrogant ego. But at the same time, if bending in front of someone means to forsake or lower your own dignity then it will only be right to protect your integrity first.
And Li Xue has known this from the very first day she has come to know this world.
