Jiujiu's expression changed.
He glanced at Gu Liancheng.
He didn't seem to be lying, and there was no need for him to lie. He was an adult; he wouldn't have to fool him with such things, would he?
"Why?" Grandpa Jiǔ finally asked him.
"His death." Gu Liancheng shrugged his shoulders as he looked over, his tone not as heavy as the news.
This only meant that he had already accepted his father's death.
"Oh..." Jiujiu nodded in understanding, "My dad's also dead."
Even though…
His biological father was just sitting a few dozens centimeters next to him.
Still, Jiujiu said such things without hesitation.
It couldn't be called a lie. Some people are dead, but still live in others' hearts. Others are alive but may as well be dead.
As for his biological father, he was non-existent to him since birth. He was dead in Jiujiu's heart.
Gu Liancheng was surprised.
