"Lin Chuxia, are you really, really soone who grew up in the countryside?" Yang Xiaoli leaned in close to Chuxia, scrutinizing her, "Whether it’s your speech, deanor, or mindset, you’re just too abnormal."
"You’ve asked this question for the second ti. I an, are you complinting or making fun of ?" Chuxia glanced at her sideways, "Make it clear, otherwise, I’ll fall out with you, haha."
"What’s with the act?" Yang Xiaoli rolled her eyes, "These are obviously complints, and here you are, playing dumb. You just want to praise you more, right? Fine, I’ll indulge you.
Last ti I already asked you this, but you never gave a reasonable explanation. The longer I spend with you, the more abnormal I think you are.
Of course, I’m not looking down on kids from the countryside or ordinary families, but let’s just talk facts regarding educational background and social exposure. There’s no comparison, you’ve got to admit that, right?"
Chuxia smiled and nodded, "You’re right, kids from ordinary families indeed can’t compare with you all in terms of educational background and social exposure.
But don’t forget, in the past few years, so respected elders, uncles, and aunts with the sa or even deeper backgrounds than yours went down to work at the grassroots level. Couldn’t I be influenced by them?"
Yang Xiaoli quickly bowed her head in admission: "I’m wrong. I promise I won’t ever question you about this again. Or perhaps, you’re the second genius."
"Who’s the first genius?" Lin ngran asked.
"Uh." Yang Xiaoli nodded her chin toward Huang Suai’s position, "Haven’t you noticed? She’s treated like a star by everyone and still acts so indifferent."
"She does look pretty..." Lin ngran scrutinized her from head to toe and said, "But what’s she here for? To celebrate my great-grandmother’s birthday, or to show herself off? And where exactly is her genius?"
"You really don’t know who she is?" Yang Xiaoli looked at Lin ngran in surprise, "Haven’t the older generation in your family ntioned her to you?"
Lin ngran looked completely baffled: "Why should they ntion her to ?"
Yang Xiaoli just touched her forehead in frustration: "Then you really are too blessed. Ever since I was young, I’ve been raised hearing about her achievents. Whenever I made a mistake, my mom would use her as an example for . Let tell you, although I don’t know her well, I kind of hate her!"
This is exactly what they say about "the neighbor’s kid," Chuxia thought as she grinned: "ngran, she might not match you in terms of fighting prowess, but in terms of intelligence, heh..."
"You an I’m not as smart as her?" Lin ngran looked defiant, "I haven’t yet had a chance to show my true skills. I’m just hiding my light under a bushel. Now, tell , where exactly is her genius?"
Yang Xiaoli then recounted in detail everything that Jiang Shan had earlier explained about Huang Suai. After listening, Lin ngran was completely dazed, and after a mont, shook her head in disbelief, "Are you sure, all of this is true?"
"Do I need to exaggerate this stuff?" Yang Xiaoli sighed, "I’m not her fan, to be honest. I’d much rather it all be fake... I dream it’s all fake."
Chuxia looked at her with a sympathetic gaze, this kid really suffered because of the "neighbor’s kid"! However, she too had her own feelings about this, since she was once that "soone else’s child."
From a young age, she possessed an unusual gift for music and her parents and grandparents focused on nurturing her in this area. As a result, she beca the standard to which other children learning piano were compared.
Add to that her excellent academic performance, and she beca an even more common example for many parents to use for comparison, which led to her being ostracized. Nobody wanted to play with her, and after her best friend left, she was always alone: going to school alone, eating alone, visiting the library alone, going to the music room alone... It felt very desolate, actually...
Of course, there’s a fundantal difference between her and Huang Suai. Judging from Huang Suai’s expression, she probably didn’t feel anything about it, or maybe, she actually enjoyed it?
But she could only be considered talented in one aspect, while the other was genuinely a genius. Chuxia believed that even if she worked extrely hard, she couldn’t hope to achieve what Huang Suai had.
"Hey, don’t look at like that..." Yang Xiaoli misunderstood Chuxia’s expression, hugged her arms, and shrank her neck, "Do I look like chopped cabbage in your eyes? Really, I’m not that pitiful. I’m just occasionally compared to others, but most of the ti, I’m praised. So, please, don’t look at with such a somber gaze, okay?"
