When Jian Changsheng heard Qiao Shuyi’s words, he couldn’t help but look at Qiao Shuyi in surprise and blink. In the end, he said, “You were the one who objected strongly back then. Your stance changed too quickly.”
Qiao Shuyi nodded helplessly. “I have no choice. I gave birth to my daughter. It’s been so many years, but I’ve never seen her so concerned about anything. Her actions convinced me.”
Jian Changsheng raised his eyebrows in understanding. He had doted on his daughter since she was young. The things she liked changed every three days. Any hobby was only three minutes of heat and she had never worked so hard for something.
From this perspective, this matter was indeed worth confirming.
…
Gao Yang and Guan Tao had been playing on Yaner Island Beach for three days. Because it was autumn in the north, the weather was a little cold. The two of them could not go into the sea or try other sea activities.
Therefore, on this day, Gao Yang brought Guan Tao to Yaner Island City for a walk.
Compared to Baiyun City, Yaner Island City was not considered prosperous, but it was a place with an ancient flavor. It was as relaxed as its name.
The buildings on the street had a strong cultural background. They had completely different styles from Baiyun City.
The two of them held hands and strolled through the streets and alleys of Yaner Island City. When they saw a good-looking building, they would take out their camera and ask passersby to help take a photo.
Guan Tao also gradually adapted to his unique gentleness from the first time she held Gao Yang’s hand. When he held her hand and felt the warmth in his hand, it made her feel more at ease and safe.
Tired from walking, the two of them sat down on a wooden chair by a tree-lined path filled with parasol trees.
“Are you cold?” Gao Yang looked at Guan Tao and asked. Although his tone was indifferent, his eyes were filled with gentleness.
Guan Tao raised her red face and shook her head. “No.”
Seeing this, Gao Yang stuffed Guan Tao’s hand into his shirt pocket and suddenly said, “We’re going back tomorrow. Time passes so quickly.”
These words were inexplicably sad. This was the first time the two of them had gone on a trip alone. A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Gao Yang was a little reluctant, and so was Guan Tao.
However, Guan Tao smiled and said, “We can still see each other every day when we get back. We can still go out alone on the weekends in the future.”
When Gao Yang heard this, he nodded slightly, and a smile slowly filled his eyes behind his glasses.
Time stopped for a moment. The two of them were very close and looked at the pedestrians passing by on the tree-lined path in silence. Some of them were holding hands like them.
After a while, Gao Yang suddenly asked, “Tao Zi, have you ever thought about being with someone like me?”
Guan Tao was stunned when she heard that. Then, she turned to look at Gao Yang in confusion. “What do you mean?”
These words sounded like Gao Yang was belittling himself. What did he mean by ‘someone like me’? It was as if she shouldn’t be with him.
Gao Yang also turned around and met Guan Tao’s gaze. He said calmly, “I’m boring and cold. Qinghuan always said that I’m like a robot, giving people the illusion that I have no feelings.”
“In the beginning, I felt that way.” Guan Tao smiled. “At that time, I felt you were very special. Even besides outstanding people like Lin Yi and Qinghuan, you were still an existence that no one could ignore.”
