Su Xiaoyue caught the pity in his eyes and laughed self-deprecatingly, saying, "Don't you think I look scholarly with glasses? Like a scholar. Though sometimes inconvenient, adding a bit of scholarly aura doesn't hurt."
Her self-deprecation was intended to prevent him from feeling pity, but after hearing her, Fan Shaoming's feelings of pity only grew. He pursed his lips before continuing, "Xiaoyue, the past me was kind of mean, always belittling you, disliking your appearance. In truth, you're not ugly. In my heart, you are more beautiful than Xi Shi, your demeanor is natural, and you don't need outside appearance to enhance it."
Fan Shaoming was not wrong, Su Xiaoyue's scholarly demeanor was innate, and even if she didn't read much, that aura was inescapable.
