However, the calr he remained, the more Cheng Hao felt distressed—why couldn’t Brother Yicheng, being such a good person, have his legs healed?
Cheng Hao couldn’t figure it out; suddenly, his eyes lit up as he ntioned eting a beautiful girl just recently and exaggeratedly claid that she had shunned him like a snake avoids a scorpion.
"Deserved."
Pei Yicheng could imagine that scene all too well—Haozi’s gaze, almost devouring the girl alive; it was no wonder she hadn’t been scared off, that would have been truly surprising.
"Brother Yicheng, how can you say that? I genuinely wanted to know her na and was sincerely interested in dating her," Cheng Hao felt aggrieved, he truly found the girl to his liking.
Oh no, rather, she moved his heart.
"The girls you’ve dated before, you’ve said the sa about each one."
The words of Pei Yicheng were like sharp knives, stabbing him in the heart.
Cheng Hao pursed his lips and said, "I’m serious, who knew, midway through dating, I would feel like they were only interested in my money."
Pei Yicheng: "..."

On the weekend, Xu Nianhua finished knitting a sweater, planning to have Xu Nian’an deliver it to Pei Yicheng.
"Let’s go deliver it together," Xu Nian’an thought, considering how Pei Yicheng couldn’t walk. Therefore, Xu Nian’an didn’t think too deeply about it, especially regarding the likes of Chen Hu at school, against whom Xu Nian’an was always on guard.
"It’s so cold." Xu Nianhua tightened her coat around her, covering her icy face, actually just feeling embarrassed.
While knitting the sweater, she hadn’t felt anything amiss, but now that it was ti to deliver it, Xu Nianhua felt sowhat uneasy.
"Giving a gift should be done with sincerity. He has helped us so much, one, we go to deliver the sweater, and two, we go to see how his legs are doing," thought Xu Nian’an, who hadn’t visited the factory in a long while and heard that Pei Yicheng had recently sought treatnt again, regrettably, it was still unsuccessful.
"I..."
Xu Nianhua wanted to refuse, but Xu Nian’an promptly dragged her along.
Xu Nian’an completely missed his little sister’s discomfort, thinking that Brother Yicheng was a good person who was not in a great mood; having his little sister there would allow them to chat.
His sister was better at talking than he was, and could provide so additional comfort.
At the Du Family’s.
Du Chang was massaging Pei Yicheng’s legs in the room. Although his legs couldn’t be healed temporarily, Du Chang still insisted on massaging them daily to prevent the muscles from atrophying.
However, Du Chang was aging, involved in many activities at the dical facility, and massaging Pei Yicheng’s legs every day was physically demanding.
"Grandfather, maybe you should rest today." Pei Yicheng, seeing his grandfather’s exhausted deanor, couldn’t bear it.
His grandfather, at such an old age, was still taking care of his matters, bustling about busily.
"No worries."
Du Chang chuckled, "This little matter is nothing for your grandfather. Yicheng, I know these few treatnts have made you feel very downhearted, but you must believe, as long as you persist tirelessly, there will co a day when you will stand up again."
Du Chang encouraged his grandson, fearing that Pei Yicheng would revert to his previous negative state.
He thought about exploring more options, and planned to first take Pei Yicheng’s dical records to outsiders for review. If everything checked out, he would bring Pei Yicheng along, thus preventing his grandson from going with hopes high and returning utterly disappointed!
"Grandfather, I know," said Pei Yicheng in a deep voice, yet without any negativity. He looked up and said, "I may not be able to stand on my legs, but there are many others in the world more unfortunate than I am. I won’t give up."
