What this young master said surprised the woman a little, so she said: "Reading makes a man graceful. A book contains a lot of knowledge. Knowledge is one's best wealth. As a scholar, achieving the highest score in the imperial examination is the best way."

眼前公子的这个回答倒是让女子惊讶了几分，女子对公子说道：腹有诗书气自华，书中自有黄金屋。学识是一个人最好的财富，然而读书人的终极目标还是参加科举蟾宫折桂金榜题名。

"Maybe," he answered indifferently as if he didn't want to go deeper into this topic.

他淡淡地回答道，似乎并不想继续深入这个话题：“或许吧！”

“Young Master, do you think my actions that day were too cruel?”The girl was so brilliant that she began to change the subject. She was shocked that she suddenly asked this question. She had lived in hell for a long time and had never cared about what others thought of her.

听话听音，女子何其聪慧，故开始转移话题道：“公子，你觉得那日我的行为太过残忍了些吗？”突然她问出了一句这话，这让她自己也很惊讶，她是长期活在地狱中的人，何曾在乎别人如何看待她？

"He deserved it. It wasn't anyone's fault."He answered her without hesitation as if it was a prevalent thing.

他毫不犹豫地接了她的话道，似乎这是件很寻常的事情，连想都不用想：“他落得如此下场是他自己咎由自取怪不得别人的。”

Looking at the woman in front of him, he felt that his words seemed to be a little abrupt, and then he continued to explain his comments. "Under such circumstances, it wouldn't be fair if you didn't fight back and let him bully you at will."

望着眼前的女子，他又觉得自己的话似乎有点唐突了，随即又继续为自己的话解释道：“在那种情况下，你若不还击任由他人任意欺凌才不合常理。”

"Under such circumstances, I had to strike first to get revenge for myself. Rather than believing it's never too late for revenge, I am a girl of action. It's impossible to keep waiting for the right opportunity to strike. A person's life is like a white pony passing through a crack instantly. I will miss the chance for the rest of my life if I don't do something at that time."The girl said with a smile as if she was simultaneously talking to herself and answering what he had just said.

女子微微地笑着说道，似自言自语，也似回他刚刚的话：“那时我必须先发制人为我自己报仇，我徐芊芊从来就不相信什么君子报仇十年不晚，我只信快意恩仇，若等一个合适的时机怕是一生都等不到的，人的这一生如白驹过隙转瞬即逝，有些事当时不做，错过了就是一辈子。”

"I know not everyone can act according to their own will.That's why I envy people like you. I envy that you can live your life to the fullest and do what you want."She gazed at the sky from a distance and suddenly turned around and stared at the man beside her after she finished speaking.

她远远地凝视着天边，说完这句话后，突然转过身来注视着身边的男子说道：“我知道在这个世上，并不是每个人都可以按照自己的意愿活着的，所以我很羡慕如公子这样的人，羡慕你能认真地活着，只做自己想做的事情。”

"A person's lifetime won't be perfect, but a part of it will be satisfying."He consoled her.

他出声安慰道：“人生十有八九不如意，可终归还有一两件是称心如意的。”

After saying that, he realized the girl wanted to comfort him, so she changed the subject. However, she was like a dragonfly skimming over the water's surface, making him completely unaware of it.

说完后他意识到这姑娘转了一大圈其实是为了安慰他，绕着绕着其实还是饶回了刚才的话题，只是如蜻蜓点水，让人浑然不觉罢了。
