Chapter 613: It's Good to Talk About It

“You said back then, she was only what, twelve, thirteen?

I was still clueless about early romance, and she had already fallen for you at first sight.”

Hearing this made Bo Yanching feel very uncomfortable, unable to say a comforting word.

After a couple of drags of his cigarette, his thoughts became even more entangled.

“Sorry, big brother’s charm is a bit too much.”

Bo Shuxian laughed and looked at him, “Are you bragging to me?”

Bo Yanching paused, “No, but I do feel sorry indeed.”

Bo Shuxian wiped his face, “You haven’t wronged me.

The human heart is always hard to predict.

It’s over now.

I’ll have no more ties with her, just Qianqian.

If she wants to see the child in the future, please, big brother, make it possible.”

Bo Yanching was not a cruel demon; he didn’t have the right to deprive someone of their motherhood.

It was Bo Shuxian’s nature that made it hard to even seek revenge for him.

Bo Yanching sighed, “How long will you stay this time?”

“Two months, I’m mainly responsible for ancient painting restoration this time; it needs some time.

I will stay at the Bo Residence during these two months.”

The time he allotted was originally to come back and be with his wife and child, but now that he was alone, spending it with Qianqian was also good.

Over the years, although Qianqian clung to him, the total time they spent together in a year barely added up to a month.

“I’ve arranged for Qianqian’s kindergarten.

She’s just three years old, and she could start next semester, but grandma thinks we should keep her until she’s three and a half, so she starts with a new batch of classmates next autumn.”

The first term would be the autumn class.

If Qianqian went after the New Year, she would effectively be a mid-term entrant.

There’s no reasoning in preschool for entering as a mid-term student anyway.

Moreover, Qianqian already lacked a sense of security inside.

It would be hard for her to integrate into a new group.

If the surrounding kids all have their cliques and she’s left out, she would not enjoy school.

Bo Shuxian nodded, “I have no objections.

Let’s go with grandma’s decision.”

Bo Yanching put out his cigarette, “Let’s go, the crying is over.”

Bo Shuxian looked up at him, not sure whether to laugh or be angry; his chest vibrated a few times, “I really doubt you’re here to comfort me or just to make fun of me.”

Bo Yanching raised his eyebrow, “Otherwise, would you lean on my shoulder for a bit?”

“No, I smell.

I’m worried she might dislike you when you hug the little sister-in-law later.”

Bo Yanching agreed with his reasoning, “That makes sense.”

Bo Shuxian took a sip of water, his eyes downcast, “Maybe a hug is still a good idea.”

Bo Yanching moved to his side, pressing Bo Shuxian’s shoulders to bring him into his arms, carefully patting Bo Shuxian’s back.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, without any words, as if the quietness could gradually dissipate some minor gloom.

A few minutes later, Bo Shuxian stepped back, sniffled, his eyes still red but his face much better looking.

A light smile played at the corner of his mouth, returning to his usual graceful demeanor.

“Laughable, isn’t it?”

Bo Yanching said, “Who else are these words for if not for me?

Keeping them bottled up inside might just make you sick.”

Bo Shuxian nodded.

Bo Yanching stood up, pulling Bo Shuxian up too.

As they passed by a trash can, they extinguished their cigarettes one after the other.

“Staying for two months is good, spend more time with Qianqian.

I’m busy with work and rarely visit, but I go to the old house every weekend with Jiaojiao.”

Bo Shuxian still nodded, “I understand.”

After that, Bo Yanching placed a hand on Bo Shuxian’s back, gently pushing him into the back seat.

Nan Jiaojiao, holding back from looking, kept her eyes on Bo Yanching as he walked around the front of the car.
