"But before I go, there's one thing I need to get clear, or I won't have peace of mind," said Su Jiaxuan slowly, his eyes tenderly fixed on Gu Xiaoer, as if there were no other scenery around her.
"Senior Su, go ahead."
"There have been some unpleasant rumors going around the school. Although I don't pay attention to them, I've still heard plenty of gossip. Xiao Er, you're too trusting of others; that's your innocence and kindness. However, some things still need to be made clear, it's better to ask. Your boyfriend, perhaps, is not that simple..." His reminder came from a place of good intentions, and he knew it could easily lead to misunderstandings, but the concern deep in his heart made it impossible for him not to worry about these things for Gu Xiaoer.
Gu Xiaoer listened quietly to Su Jiaxuan, holding the hot milk to warm her hands, nibbling on the straw in her mouth. When he finished, she put down the milk in earnest, her little face tensed up as if making a solemn oath.
