Shen Su widened her eyes. "Aren't you too bold? If it wasn't Mu Ci, if it wasn't because he happened to know you and was looking for you, what would you do if it was someone else? It would be fine if you met someone like my Big Brother. At most, he would ignore you and leave you aside. But if he's a psychopath—"
Shen Su did not dare to think further. She complained, "You're too rash. You really should thank the gods and Buddhas for their blessings!"
Bei Shuo smiled happily. "So, look, everything has its own plans. The heavens won't leave good girls like us alone. You shouldn't always think about being liked by your elders, brothers, and sisters. You have to like yourself first. That's the most important thing. If you don't like yourself, who will care about you?"
Shen Su stared at Bei Shuo. No one had ever told her this before. This was the first time someone had made her like herself!
