Xu Pei did as she was told, got up, and closed all the doors to the inner room of the ward and the small hall. She returned to the bedside, lifted the fruit basket, and asked, "What fruit would you like to eat? Shall I peel it for you?"
"My kidneys aren't good, and Yizhou told me to eat less sweet food these days." Leng Lin gestured toward the chair beside the bed with his chin, "Sit down, Pei girl."
Xu Pei felt nervous without reason, as Leng Lin's expression was serious, "Why do you look like you're interrogating a criminal with that expression?"
Her remark was meant as a jest, but Leng Lin did not smile.
"Do you feel guilty?"
"Guilty?" Xu Pei laughed it off, "What would I feel guilty about?"
Leng Lin sat on the hospital bed, looking at her calmly, "I remember the first time I met Xiao Qian, I asked her a similar question. At that time, she only replied with one sentence, 'Only those with a guilty conscience will feel guilty.'"
