Chapter 137: Family Relationships

"In the past, I never cared about classmates and friends at school, always keeping to myself. You know, Sister Lian is busy with work and doesn't spend much time with me. I handle everything at home by myself, and I'm usually very... casual about things."

"I'm not like you, needing to be wary of others, nor do I care about friendships like other people do. The only thing I have to do is study hard, and I don't pay attention to anything else, so that's probably why I seem so decisive in your eyes."
