Little Gold Mine: "You're different, you're a really good class monitor and friend."
I've been praised.
Su Huai's feelings were complicated, the kind that he didn't know how to describe.
The effort he had put in for the class hadn't been in vain, it had achieved very good results, and he had gained the recognition of Little Gold Mine, which was great.
But comparing her simplicity and purity against his own overly utilitarian mentality left Su Huai with a bitter taste in his mouth.
It wasn't self-loathing, nothing that serious.
It was probably a clearer understanding... understanding the difference between himself and Gu Jiuyue.
Little Gold Mine had everything in terms of material wealth and people to shield her from the storm, so she could afford to be pure and innocent.
But he had nothing and wanted to climb up, so he had to face society's turbulent undercurrents with ambition and utilitarianism, ready to fight and compete for what he wanted.
This was a man's destiny.
