Li Siru felt even guiltier when he spoke. She bowed her head, biting her lip, not knowing what was happening to her. Her mind was in a complete mess.
"Lu Beiyao, I'm really very grateful to you. Never, never has anyone stood by me without asking any questions, supporting me unconditionally. Growing up, everyone just waited to see me make a fool of myself. No one ever thought about whether I've been wronged or wanted to stand up for me." She paused for a moment, "I really appreciate you... You have no idea how much force I used when I hit her earlier. It was so satisfying! But what good is a momentary gratification? I'm just someone who should endure all of this. There will always be endless grievances, and you can't always stand up for me. Why let me have this moment of relief?"
"If you want, I can always stand up for you."
