I nodded and said, "I'm curious about your previous life."
Yang Xue lowered her head and was silent for a moment. She slowly sat down on the bed, clutching the sheets with both hands. She said, "Haven't you seen it already? My family is very poor...very poor." Then she gave me a bitter smile and continued, "Do you think I'm particularly pitiful? Is this why you've been taking care of me all this time?"
