"Are you my dad?"
Lin Xi was taken aback upon hearing this sentence, feeling a bit conflicted inside and unsure of how to reply.
Just earlier in the car, Xi Xiaoyi had told him about past events; when she was young and lively, she fell for a jerk who deceived her feelings and abandoned her after one night.
Unexpectedly, that night led to the birth of Xixi.
By the time Xi Xiaoyi realized something was wrong, it was too late to turn back, and she ended up having the baby because it was her flesh and blood, and she couldn't bear to part with it.
Since then, she raised the child alone, never having pursued another romance or grown close to any other man.
Whenever Xixi asked about her father, she explained that he had gone far away to fight monsters and wouldn't be back for a very long time.
