Xu Pei gave a bitter smile, "Panpan, have I become so contemptible in your eyes now? But it's true, the things I've done have made me feel ashamed and despicable, especially when you are the victim."
"But I truly have no ill intentions now, only genuine admiration for you, and pride in you. Because you've never forgotten your original aspirations, you've always been earnest in your work and as a person, continually improving. Unlike me, I seem to be regressing with each day that passes, getting worse and worse. I hardly recognize myself anymore, I've lost all respect for myself..."
Xia Chu snorted, "So, you've changed your strategy today, planning to belittle yourself to the dust, even to the point of spitting in your own face? Thinking that I will be moved and soften, agreeing to your excessive demands?"
