"Truly beautiful women are the ones who are used solely for their appearance,"
causing them to neglect the development of other parts of themselves,
so while they are confident, they also have the worry,
'Is my confidence merely superficial, and are my achievements as fragile as a castle in the air?'"
"I sometimes have such thoughts too," Model Sister said.
You're not just 'sometimes'; it's more like often.
"Do you ever think: once my beauty fades, I'll be completely worthless,
having neither substance nor professional skills?"
"Mr. Gu, are you treating a disease, making small talk, or hitting me where it hurts?"
"Didn't I compliment you by saying you were a real beauty?" Gu Ran paused mid-bite of a grape.
"Yeah, superficial, a beauty without substance. Do you think a girl would be happy being praised like that?"
"Some might."
"...A part of them will," Model Sister realized her statement was too absolute, "but I wouldn't."
