Wuxi laughed, a little bitterly. "Mei Mei, I used to take breaks from school to come and support you at your races. I used to write you letters all the time. I took a break from school for a whole month to stay with you after you were traumatized in the fire.
You were the most beautiful, smartest, funniest and most hilariously vengeful person I knew. But the competition for your heart was great.
All the boys in the empire and beyond liked you, nobles and commoners. Heck, you received more love letters than your brother! You had a crown prince at your beck and call and he was not the only boy in the royal family showing interest in you. How could I ever compare to royalty?
And then Mo Liang came along after the fire and you did not even realize that I had come to you...I just....never thought I had a chance with you. So I never said anything."
