At the end of the week, Guo Xinli drove to the store with his daughter to pick up Zhuo Qianyun. The two children sat in the back, while Zhuo Qianyun sat in the front passenger seat.
On the way, Lil Yan took care of Guo Nianan like a little adult. Guo Nianan sat in a child safety seat and kept talking to Lil Yan like a little chatterbox. For example, she talked about what cartoons she had been watching lately, what she had drawn, and how long before she could start going to kindergarten.
"Is kindergarten fun, Brother Yan?" the little one asked.
Zhuo Yan's eyes darkened. He did not have a good impression of kindergarten. His mother's case had yet to be reversed at the time, so children and their parents would taunt him.
He was young and did not understand many things back then, but now he understood more about grown-ups and the injustice of society.
Even if his mother had reversed the case, his disability would make him suffer from countless strange gazes.
Even if he was better than many ordinary people, it was useless. He was still deaf to everyone else!
"Brother Yan?" Little Nianan asked again.
Zhuo Yan smiled and replied, "Kindergarten is fun. There are lots of games to play with the kids."
"Can I go to the same kindergarten as Brother Yan?" the little one asked.
Zhuo Qianyun hesitated a little before saying, "If there's any misunderstanding in your marriage, why don't..."
"There's no misunderstanding. I walked in on her sleeping with my best friend. I asked her and she said she wanted to be with my friend. Life with me wasn’t what she wanted, and she didn't even want our daughter anymore," Guo Xinli said bitterly.
He had buried these things in his heart. Even after the divorce, he only told outsiders that they had irreconcilable differences. He even kept the truth from his own parents, hoping to preserve some decency for his daughter.
He did not want this to overshadow his daughter's future.
However, he told Zhuo Qianyun what he had been keeping in his heart. Perhaps he was too miserable, so he would like to talk to someone about it.
