"Yu Kai."

I saw Pei Qi downstairs at the hospital.

She knew I came to see Li Xiaoran. She followed me all the way, without stopping or going upstairs with me.

She walked towards me, but I took a few steps back. "Pei Qi."

Pei Qi stopped, looking at me with determination. "Yu Kai, I used to be foolish. Can you teach me to change?"

I shook my head. "Don't you remember? I taught you before. That time at the internet cafe, you scolded me for meddling in your business and told me to get lost."

She paused for a moment, her Adam's apple moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

I smiled. "Pei Qi, go apologize to Li Xiaoran."

The smile in her eyes completely disappeared.

Pei Qi took two or three steps forward, grabbed my arm, and her voice trembled slightly. "Do you really like her?"

"Pei Qi, it doesn't matter whether I like her or not."

I pushed her hand away. "You should go see a psychologist."

"So even you think I'm sick?"

"Pei Qi, I know about your family situation. It's just a neutral suggestion. After you beat up Li Xiaoran, she could easily sue you."

Pei Qi let go of my arm. "Yu Kai, if I don't have her, will you teach me? Can you teach me?"

"It's too late," I looked at her, at this girl who had become completely different from before. "I just realized now that I don't like you. I like the girl from before, the one who was stubborn but soft-hearted, a bit spoiled. That's why I tolerated you time and time again, but all I got in return was you becoming worse and worse."

"Actually, I guessed it. After your family had problems, you started to envy me. You hated that I had a happier family than you, hated that I lived openly, hated the pursuers who were inferior to you but still looked down on you, unable to say a single kind word in front of you."

"Pei Qi, that day I saw it. You glued the torn love letter back together and painstakingly weaved my strand of hair into the red string. But you still hated me. I couldn't understand why until the day I overheard your mom talking to my mom on the phone, saying you were diagnosed with bipolar disorder."

I heard Pei Qi's breathing gradually intensify.

Finally, I took a step back and waved to Pei's aunt, who hurriedly came behind her.

"It's all right. You just need to rest well."

As for me, who has suffered so much from your hurt, I won't pity you anymore.
