Kang Li glared.
Seeing this, Boya "haha" burst out laughing.
"If you laugh again, I won't stay here and chat with you anymore."
Kang Li pretended to get up.
"Alright, alright, Dad won't laugh anymore."
He raised his hand to stop Kang Li from leaving, and a touch of regret showed in Boya's expression. He said, "Not being able to watch you be born, or be there as you grew up—that's Dad's lifelong regret.
And after we finally met, you've always been so well-behaved and sensible. Honestly, I feel really comforted, but at the same time, pretty let down too. I feel useless, like I can't do anything to help you. Do you know why?"
Without waiting for Kang Li to speak, Boya answered himself: "Because you're too outstanding. In every way, you don't need Dad's help. Without meaning to, it's like there's something between us—but today, that barrier is gone!"
Boya's eyes grew moist at the corners, but his smile was wide. "Dad is really happy right now."
"You're overthinking it."
