Gu Lian thought about this question for a long time before finally answering, "We're emotionally incompatible, I guess. Plus, when it comes to raising Xici, she and I began to have differences in how we saw things."
Even though this answer was not what Jiang Yi had expected, it still made sense in the end.

Gu Lian, however, seemed to sink into some beautiful memory, unable to extricate himself.
With both hands shoved into the pockets of his overcoat, he walked downhill with Jiang Yi and said to her, "When your Aunt Zhu was young, she was really wonderful."
Jiang Yi watched him quietly as he spoke.
She didn't know why, but Gu Lian suddenly seemed to have a stronger urge to pour his heart out.
Staring off into the distance, he went on, "She was kind and simple, delicate in her feelings, very good at taking care of people. The first time I met her was at the university entrance ceremony…"
"You went to the same university?" Jiang Yi asked curiously.
