She spoke very fast, and what she said was logical, specific, and well-founded.
Shangguan Qing felt his emotions swell, especially when translating the last bit. He was overwhelmed with pride.
Those boys went scarlet with embarrassment, looked at one another, then bowed at Su Xiaomo and Shangguan Qing.
"Sorry."
The girl looked at Su Xiaomo in admiration and asked Shangguan Qing, "Who is she?"
Shangguan Qing smiled brightly. "She's our genius painter!"
"Wow!" The girl looked even more amazed.
Shangguan Qing went up to Su Xiaomo, trying to strike up a conversation. "You were awesome back there!"
Su Xiaomo examined her wacom. Good, it still worked.
"The same to you. I said harsh words, that's all."
"No, no. I wouldn't have been able to do it. I'm not as confident as you." Shangguan Qing's eyes sparkled. "You're a genius and amazing. I envy you so much…"
Su Xiaomo paused a little.
Genius.
