The warm sun shone down, as if it could bake a person's very blood vessels red.
Gu Jiaojiao pushed Su Shuochi along as she looked up at the sky, feeling exceptionally content.
Just then, she heard a familiar voice.
"Jiaojiao!"
The voice trembled slightly, laced with a mix of surprise and caution.
That voice...
Gu Jiaojiao turned her head and saw Mr. Sheng standing ramrod straight beside his car.
A single glance was enough to see the glistening tears welling in his eyes and the dark circles from a sleepless night.
The lack of sleep and his tearful expression spoke volumes of his sorrow.
Gu Jiaojiao already knew that Sheng Yueyue had been acting up at home again, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
Her already flower-like smile softened even more. "Mr. Sheng, why don't you come inside for breakfast?"
"I... I had breakfast at home with my wife and kids. Jiaojiao, get in. I'll take you to school."
