“Can you get me a gla.s.s of water?”

Hearing this, Pei Yunge glanced at Shang Yan and finally poured a gla.s.s of water for him.

“Do you hate me that much?”

Shang Yan suddenly asked.

“Hate?” Pei Yunge looked up at him and asked in return.

“You seem to be very unwilling to get close to me. Is it because of my leg?”

The man's voice was low and smooth, but the hand holding the gla.s.s of water was a little pale.

“I don't have much patience with strangers. You too, aren't you?”

Pei Yunge laughed carelessly and chose a seat to sit down.

She glanced at her watch. She was waiting for the mission to be over in 10 minutes' time so that she could leave.

At this moment, Shang Yan did not take the initiative to say anything.

The atmosphere was a little cold.

“Your grandfather is a good person.”

Pei Yunge raised an eyebrow lazily. “Everyone will be like that when they're old.”

“Will you be like that when you're old?”

“Not really.”

For a moment, Shang Yan suddenly understood how Nance felt when he was given700 yuan.

He was also being despised.

After that…

Just as Shang Yan gave up on the forceful conversation.

Suddenly, Pei Yunge asked, “How long has your leg been injured?”

“It's been a few years.”

Pei Yunge glanced at him and did not say anything more.

“Don't you have anything to say?”

Pei Yunge smiled. “Someone should have already told you everything I want to say.”

Shang Yan found that this girl was indeed quite cold. She didn't like to poke her nose into other people's business and never did anything unnecessary.

However, he could see that this girl's coldness seemed to come from seeing things too clearly. But what had she seen at this age to have such a character?

Her grandfather was clearly a pa.s.sionate person.

“About asking me how to use artificial limbs to do rehabilitation?” Shang Yan asked with a smile.

“If you have to face a choice even if you're alive, why did you choose the worse one?” Pei Yunge took an orange from the fruit basket and slowly peeled it.

“But if I go out, I might not live well either.” Shang Yan's eyes darkened as he clenched his fists.

As a gifted and outstanding man, how could he be willing to be gossiped about?

Pei Yunge felt that this ward mate of the Old Master seemed to have a lot of psychological barriers. “What job did you work in the past?”

“It's about business I guess.”

Shang Yan did not speak further.

Pei Yunge asked, “Will your leg interfere with your work?”

“No.”

Shang Yan laughed. “It's because I can't accept other people's strange gazes.”

Pei Yunge understood what this Old Master's ward mate was avoiding.

However, it was true that anyone would not be able to accept this for the time being. The more proud a person was, the harder it was for them to accept it.

“Sir, you don't have to accept everything that others give you.”

Seeing that it was almost time to leave, Pei Yunge stood up. “But there are some things that can't be changed. Why don't you change yourself and make yourself happier?”

“I have something on, so I'll get going first.”

With that said, Pei Yunge added, “Goodbye.”

Seeing Pei Yunge leave, Shang Yan could not help but chuckle.

If it was anyone else, he would really think that that person was just being polite and could not bear to see him sad.

However, this girl was not someone who liked to say anything perfunctory.

Besides, when he said the reason, he even saw a trace of understanding in her eyes.

“Shang Yan, did someone come?” Nance glanced at the fruit basket curiously.

“Mm, a very honest little girl came.”

Actually, Pei Yunge's experience was indeed quite similar to Shang Yan's.

In her previous life, after Meng Ying committed suicide, everyone said that Pei Yunge had the genes of a lunatic. Even the teachers who liked her in the past were more afraid of her than they doted on her.
