I clearly remember the situation at the time, when I had the photos and information of Jia Yuyan and Ye Mengyan laid out in front of me.
Actually, both of them seemed to come from very similar backgrounds.
They were both from impoverished families and had very poor living conditions; the notes on them stated that they were excellent in their studies but very poor.
I was very conflicted at that time, not knowing who to choose!
Because giving an opportunity to one meant depriving the other of one.
I hesitated at the time, so I gave the decision-making power to Gu Yuanzhou who was with me.
Gu Yuanzhou took a glance and pointed to Ye Mengyan, I still remember what he said then.
"This girl, she looks skinny and small, very pitiful!"
Indeed, Ye Mengyan at the time looked very pitiful in her photo.
Or perhaps, it was this pitiful appearance that provoked Gu Yuanzhou's protective instincts.
