Ling Shen's heart was in turmoil, but he didn't show it on his face. He just sat on the bed, staring blankly at the little girl.
The little girl noticed him staring at her and asked, puzzled, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
The little girl walked over, lay down on the other side of the bed, and looked at Ling Shen with her chin in her hand.
"Don't you get bored staying in your room all day?"
Ling Shen didn't answer; he even turned his head away, no longer looking at her.
The little girl continued, "I've been coming to play with Sister Zhiyao lately, but I haven't seen you. You've been staying in your room the whole time; you'll get lice."
Hearing the little girl's words, Ling Shen retorted in his heart: You're the one who gets lice. Only unclean people get lice.

He thought to himself that this girl was really going too far. She came to his house, ate his food, and even lay on his bed. And to make matters worse, she also said that he was mute.
The little girl saw Ling Shen's expression and thought that she had touched on a painful memory, which made him angry.
So the little girl said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said you were mute, but it's okay that you can't speak. You can still see, and you have such a big house, so don't be too sad, because being sad won't help. Being sad will only turn you from a mute into a sad mute."
Ling Shen finally couldn't listen anymore and spoke up.
"I'm not mute."
