Chapter 364: Accept or Reject?
Xu Siyu listened to the indignant remarks of the two boys, a trace of difficulty showing on her face.
Silence.
A few seconds later, the boys seemed to realize that they had made things awkward for Xu Siyu—a beautiful, kind, and sensitive girl—so they stopped.
The leading boy said, "Si Yu, we came over just to inform you so that you wouldn’t be in the dark and get outwitted by Ji You. Now that you know, we won’t disturb you any longer. You’re in charge of managing the material construction in Senior Nolan’s lab, and you have a heavy workload, so we won’t add to your troubles."
"Yes. Si Yu, we’ll leave you be. Take care to rest, and remember to balance work with leisure," the other boy added.
Then—
The two boys finally left Xu Siyu’s workspace.
Once they were gone, Xu Siyu’s delicate face instantly darkened.
She had been aware of the message delivered by Lin Lele and others on Ji You’s behalf a few days earlier, including today’s speech in the cafeteria. She had known right from the start, pretending to be clueless simply to maintain her image.
Xu Siyu frowned tightly.
The current situation was rather bad.
Xu Siyu was very clear: regardless of how the outside world slandered or insulted Ji You, including the derogatory comments her own fans made—saying Ji You was overambitious and arrogant—Xu Siyu herself was well aware that Ji You’s talent in materials wasn’t as poor as others claimed. On the contrary, Ji You was so talented it was enviable.
