That day was just like any other, plain and ordinary.
It wasn't anyone's birthday, nor had anything major happened.
Su Huai went about his usual work routine and, in the evening, went to Professor Cheng's place with Gu Jiuyue for dinner. Coincidentally, Wang Lezhi had brought his three-year-old daughter to visit his parents, and Old Wang was busy fussing over his new granddaughter, grinning from ear to ear.
Gu Xiaoxiao was bursting with energy, racing all over the house, finally diving into her big sister's arms and refusing to leave.
"She really likes you," Wang Lezhi said affectionately as he watched the scene play out. "Unlike me and my sister—we fought every day without fail."
Gu Jiuyue rarely heard her aunt mention her mother. Her gaze dimmed for a moment but quickly brightened again.
"A little squabbling isn't a bad thing. People—well, we learn to understand too late, and yet we release our emotions too early. It's only natural there'd be regrets."
