All the way from North City to the Great Northwest... I don't regret leaving North City with your birth mother. By the time we finally settled down in a remote town in the Great Northwest, both she and I were so happy. One day, your mother told me she was pregnant, and at that moment, I was so ecstatic I must have looked like an idiot, spinning her around in circles in my arms."
Pausing for a moment, Jiang Boya's deep, magnetic voice spilled from his lips again: "I was eighteen that year, same age as your birth mother. We were both so happy, looking forward to your arrival, eagerly awaiting your birth.
Who would have thought, with just about a month left before your mother was due, I went out to buy her some desserts she loved. I had no idea … I just happened to run into the people your grandfather sent to track me down. They didn't say a word, just tied me up and brought me back to North City.
