Chapter 871: She’s An Emotionless Machine

“Heh, open your eyes. You can’t even recognize me?!” The old man stood there and said unpleasant words.

But in front of everyone, they saw that even though the two were clearly of the same age, there seemed to be an inexplicable pressure in the atmosphere. The famous Dean Li Mingde was being lectured like a grandson.

He seemed to gradually recognize the other party, and his previous aggressiveness was gone. However, he glanced at Sheng Yang from time to time, wondering why he would stand up for Sheng Yang.

With this old man’s existence, how could Li Mingde dare to cause trouble?

Naturally, Sheng Yang could leave with the book. As soon as she left the alley, the old man’s stern expression changed. He suddenly grabbed the girl and smiled. “Girl, I just helped you. You owe me a favor, right?”

Sheng Yang frowned. Why did this man feel familiar to her for some reason? “Well, in theory, yes.”

“Huh? In theory? Knowing how to repay kindness is a human virtue.” Even though the man was old, he was good at talking.

Sheng Yang gave him a bank card. “Do you think this favor will work?”

If a problem could be solved with money, she absolutely wouldn’t resort to anything else.

The old man pushed it back without looking at it, his smile fading. “What do you take me for?”

“What do you want, then?” Sheng Yang was as reticent as ever.

......

The old man’s smiling face appeared again, making Sheng Yang feel uneasy. He pointed not far away. “When one gets old, one is afraid of being lonely and having no one to accompany one. How about you accompany me over there?”

Not far away was a mall. Thinking that she had nothing to do next, Sheng Yang looked at the book in her hand and said, “Sure.”

In any case, she found the old man quite amiable and did not dislike him.

As soon as they arrived at the mall, there was a little boy at the entrance holding a white-colored ice cream. His pink tongue kept licking it, and the ice cream melted. It was milky and dripping.

The old man saw this and swallowed.

The boy was wary and immediately moved the ice cream away from the old man’s line of sight.

“Pah.” The old man was scornful.

Sheng Yang spoke in front of the boy like a cold and heartless robot, “You want to eat it?”

The old man noticed that the little boy was looking at him and immediately blushed. “I’m not longing for that! I’m longing for that child! My grandson is not young anymore, but he didn’t promise to get married early and give me a great-grandson.”

The old man suddenly turned around and looked at Sheng Yang. “Do you understand?”

But in the blink of an eye, Sheng Yang disappeared.

The old man scratched his head. ‘Did I scare her off? But I didn’t do anything.’

However, before he could wonder for long, Sheng Yang returned with an ice cream similar to the little boy’s. She handed it to the old man without saying anything.
