You two have been pretty good friends becoming close from a project you two had to work together on back in the academy. In those days you were always being compared to him. To the point you grew distant from him out of envy. You always felt like you needed to prove yourself worth to even be in his presence so you started avoiding him locking yourself away to study for days on end. Xiangli Yao hated watching you do this to yourself and this was the day he put his foot down.
