"Okay," Li Leilei replied.
Facing the formidable Xue Family, Li Leilei was apprehensive. She hesitated when transferring the account to Su Xiaocai,
"Perhaps thereâs a resemblance with Xueâs work thatâs just a coincidence. Iâm not taking it to heart. Donât go up against the Xue Family because of me."
Youâre overthinking it, classmate.
I would never go up against the Xue Family for you. If I were to oppose them, it would only be for myself, Su Xiaocai thought to herself.
"Yeah, yeah, I have no plans to stir up trouble."
Feng Wansha and Xing Miao hesitated; Su Xiaocai had seemingly said before that she wouldnât cause trouble.
But the truth proved otherwise; she only said it. When it came to necessary actions, she wouldnât miss a beat.
When she wanted to do something, she would act on it. Sooner or later, the enemies would all be brought down.
"So, after reading, what do you think?" Su Xiaocai returned to the main topic.
Xing Miao, speaking from an outsiderâs perspective, said first, "Itâs boring, the work lacks soul, like an empty shell. Itâs unclear what direction sheâs striving for; itâs aimless."
A Mecha Designer spends their life dreaming of a masterpiece. From Xue Huiyiâs work, you canât see her passion for this field.
Feng Wansha, always straightforward, said, "Ever since I saw Caicaiâs designs, I knew Senior Sister Xueâs works were just so-so."
Li Leilei murmured, "So, is it really possible that she copied my work from somewhere and then accused me of plagiarism? But there was no motive or opportunity for her to copy it. How could she even tell if my work was good or not?"
Generally, students from Military Training are quite confident, have a filter about their own work, and donât think much of othersâ works.
Thereâs no reason for Xue Huiyi to go against this and choose to copy an unknown personâs work.
Su Xiaocai patted Li Leilei on the shoulder, "Without evidence, donât make wild guesses. Just believe in yourself. Youâre no worse than her. Donât doubt yourself; we all believe in you."
Li Leileiâs eyes welled up with tears, "Thank you, Caicai. Youâre so kind. Without you, I would definitely be bullied to death."
Before going to 022 Mechanical Planet, the works she designed were a complete mess, getting worse each time. She was drawing numbly, unable to recapture the previous feeling.
After becoming acquainted with Su Xiaocai and others, her mindset improved a lot.
Feng Wansha hugged Li Leilei, "Youâre great. Have confidence in yourself. The instructors all praise how well you modify mechas."
Heavy mechas are Li Leileiâs forte. As for Xue Huiyiâs counter-accusation of her plagiarizing the design draft, although it was a piece she was relatively satisfied with, it wasnât her favorite design.
Itâs just the kind that receives a little professor praise.
Li Leilei felt much better, "Can I come over here more often in the future? Iâm interviewing for an internship tomorrow. Initially, I thought I had no chance of joining the army, but after the experience on Huangyang Star, Iâm no longer afraid of being smeared."
Not afraid of death, what are mere rumors?
Itâs just too lonely in her own dorm room.
The four of them no longer mentioned the possibility of Xue Huiyi plagiarizing.
However, Xue Huiyi was a hot topic at school, with too many things causing the girls to gossip a little.
For instance, there were rumors of Ji Heng and Xue Huiyi canceling their engagement, or that several trouble-making followers had disappeared from her side, leaving her much lonelier.
It was also said she achieved nothing on the 022 Mechanical Planet and seemed to have not lived up to her youthful promise.
Thereâs no mention of her previous simple and beautiful work.
The concern is that all the praise might actually belong to someone else, which would be too heartbreaking for the original designer.
Su Xiaocai munched on a piece of fruit with a smile.
Listening to them drift away from the topic of Xue Huiyi, the conversation turned to gaming.
They suggested whether the Huangyang Star battle could be turned into a game.
Like making a theme festival of despair, to feel despair.
The idea was good, but it couldnât be executed immediately because the battle wasnât over yet. If they dared to profit from this theme, theyâd be doomed.
Besides, the situation on Huangyang Star was far from desperate. Su Xiaocai had once been plotted against and abandoned on a barren planet with Insect Man lurking around every corner.
Her mecha broke down, her knife was blunt. She relied on incredible willpower and wore the skin of an Acid-spitting Worm, finding metal ores to repair her mecha before her skin was almost burned off.
Prolonged isolation and threats to life are whatâs truly despairing.
A few hours on Huangyang Star could only be described as fierce combat.
Later, she took revenge on those who abandoned her to die. It took a lot of work to gather those people into the same squad.
This squad could never have imagined that their leader was the disfigured enemy they once conspired against.
