Zhang Lingying pursed her lips, turned on the light again, poured a glass of water for Lu Jing, and brought it to him.

"Sad."

“…”

Lu Jing glanced at the water cup in her hand, but didn't answer it. The calmness in her eyes was almost cold-blooded, "Are you sympathizing with me?"

Zhang Lingying: “…”

"I don't need your sympathy." Lu Jing opened his eyes and looked at the dark night sky outside the window again.

Zhang Lingying's sofa is a standard L-shaped sofa. He sat on the floor near the corner of the sofa. Because there was a coffee table in front of him, his long legs could not even be stretched out, so he could only curl up. This posture made him feel uncomfortable. Lu Jing lasted for a long time and did not move.

Zhang Lingying glanced and his eyes flashed slightly.

When she first moved here, every time she thought of her father, she liked to huddle there and stare blankly because that position would make her feel less lonely.

Zhang Lingying put down the water cup, but it was rare that Lu Jing was not running, but just picked up a pillow and sat down on the sofa.

Just when she thought Lu Jing would not speak anymore, he suddenly said softly: "You are not curious, why did my mother die and I didn't stay by her to keep a guard?"

"..." Zhang Lingying didn't answer, but just looked at him quietly.

She did think his actions were strange, but everyone was unwilling to say anything else, and if he didn't say it, it meant that he was unwilling to let others know.

Lu Jing understood her thoughts, and her eyes darkened, "She is a madman. She has been crazy for more than ten years and has long recognized anyone. No one will be sad about the death of a madman..."

Zhang Lingying looked at him in shock.

Lu Jing seemed to be trapped in her own memories, closed her eyes, and was still talking: "When she was crazy, I was still very young. I only remember that for a while, she always liked to hold me and say, "She will be the only one in the future, and the whole world can betray her. I must not, force me to swear... Later, she went completely crazy and was sent to a mental hospital."

“…”

"Everyone knows that I have a crazy mother who says that madness is hereditary. She is a big lunatic and I am also a little lunatic. Adults always remind their children to stay away from me."

So when he was young, he had no friends. When he grew up, he didn't need friends.

Lu Jing thought of something, and a sarcastic curve appeared on the corner of his mouth. He opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Lingying, "Do you know how my mother is crazy?"

Zhang Lingying felt a thrill, and she always felt that his smile would make her hear some horrible news.

"She was driven crazy, she was driven crazy by the man she loved the most, again and again." The smile at the corner of Lu Jing's mouth turned into coldness, and her whole body was shrouded in a strange aura.

The Lu family is a well-known family, so of course there cannot be such a scandal.

So, the news that everyone heard became the gene of mental illness in Mrs. Lu’s ancestors, and she unfortunately inherited it.

The Lu family did not dislike her and even arranged the best mental hospital for her, taking care of her for more than ten years. Who wouldn’t say anything about affection and righteousness after hearing this?

Even Mr. Lu did not divorce her. Even though he had constant scandals with other women outside, facing a madman's original wife, everyone seemed to understand his difficulties. He even insisted that he did not divorce Mrs. Lu, allowing her to retain her final decency, which gave her a very high evaluation.

They were almost called a model couple.
