Old Gu glanced at Xiao Xia, gently brushing the snowflakes from her forehead.
"Yes, your mother was very gentle and kind, a good person, they were all heroes."
Gu Xia's parents had a special existence due to their professions. After the accident happened years ago, there couldn't even be a tombstone erected for them, nor could any records of them be found.
This was also for the benefit of Xiao Xia. Back then, her father had a premonition that something might happen to him.
Therefore, the last time he left the house, he entrusted his baby daughter, just a few months old, to an old friend.
Old Gu took on this heavy responsibility, and looked after her for a full 24 years.
They say there's an immense kindness in parents giving birth to their children.
But Gu Xia felt, although her biological parents went through hardships in giving birth to her,
raising her had also been tough for Old Gu. All these years, he had been both a father and a mother, raising her with great effort.
