Chapter 365: Terrifying Companions
Nolan was taken aback: "Oh? You already know?"
Xu Siyu smiled and said, "Yes, Wu Xing and Senior Huang Chao just came over and told me."
Upon hearing this, Nolan understood and asked, "You know now, what do you plan to do?"
Xu Siyu knew that his question about plans referred to acceptance or rejection. She pondered for a moment, a clearly visible sadness appeared on her face as she softly said, "Senior... actually... I don’t really want to compete with her."
A confused look appeared in Nolan’s blue eyes as he asked, "Why not go?"
Seeing the sad expression in Xu Siyu’s eyes, Nolan suddenly realized. He thought for a moment and said, "I see, are you afraid of contacting that junior? I heard she once plagiarized your work?"
Xu Siyu’s eyes were still filled with sadness, but she gathered her spirit and said, "Ji You and I, we used to be classmates and very good friends, but I didn’t know she would do such a thing. If I had known, I would have stopped her, even... even give her my..." She did not finish her sentence.
Nolan understood, he raised his hand, interrupting Xu Siyu, and said, "If you have such thoughts, that is wrong of you, Si Yu. In my view, knowledge can be learned and exchanged mutually, but it shouldn’t be handed over to someone else. What is your achievement should remain yours, you absolutely shouldn’t give it to someone else. This is not only disrespecting yourself but also disrespecting your friend."
Pausing briefly, Nolan continued, "Your friend, since she did this, it shows she did not respect your friendship or your achievements. The consequence of being expelled was caused by herself, you can’t blame others. So—Si Yu, you shouldn’t feel sad about this."
"Senior, I... I know everything you said is right, but I... occasionally think about it and still feel very sad," Xu Siyu said, bowing her head and covering her face with her hand.
Nolan said, "Feeling sad is a normal emotional release, but you shouldn’t let this emotion control you forever, so, beautiful girl, try to forget about this matter."
Xu Siyu nodded lightly, but still covered her face with her hand.
