Huo Xiyao saw that Xia Chu was clearly distressed for him, a mix of sour and sweet feelings suddenly surged in his heart.
He thought for a moment, reached out, and took her hand, seeing that she didn't pull away.
Then he smiled again, as if he had obtained some precious treasure, and continued, "I've changed quite a bit compared to before. Back then, I was skinny and dark, and I always kept my hair long. I never really talked to you, so it's normal that you don't remember me."
"Especially since later on, I became the true cautionary tale of Guan Kou Town. At first, when people mentioned me, they would either sympathetically or disdainfully call me 'that bastard', saying I... had no father, saying it was all my mother's fault, and you can't blame me, after all, if I could choose, I wouldn't want to be my mom's child either."
