Xia Chuyi leaned against his shoulder once more, thoughtfully pondering for a moment before saying, "Brother Shi Qian, I... still want to go."
"Just like Professor Bao and the school leaders said, this opportunity is very rare." Xia Chuyi continued, "Moreover... whether it's finding an excuse to refuse to go, or having someone replace me... I'm afraid it might affect my father."
Opportunities others dream of, she easily rejects or tries to deceive.
If someone wants to make an issue out of it, it's quite easy.
Like "a certain military leader's child refuses to go to an enemy country," does it secretly signal a combative intent?
Or "the child of high-ranking officials disregards rules," acting recklessly...
In short, Xia Chuyi has many concerns.
As if knowing what she's fretting about, Huo Shiqian said to her, "Don't overthink it. Even if you choose not to go, believe me—with your dad and me here, no one can make a fuss about it."
