"Qin Nanyu, do you think you're with me out of pity? Because my dad doesn't care, and I don't have a mom... no wait, I do have a mom, but she's a stepmom." Ji Weitian turned and leaned on the table, poking at the glass of water in front of her, becoming more animated as she spoke.
"I know, I know, you want to compensate me. You probably don't like me that much, you're just doing it for Yaoyao's sake, reluctantly accepting me like I'm a buy-one-get-one-free deal..."
Qin Nanyu reached out to hold her, trying to turn her face, but Ji Weitian pushed him away.
His eyes gradually dimmed, his voice deep: "My parents agreed to divorce the day I was born, both choosing to abandon me. I was raised entirely by my grandfather."
Ji Weitian's body stiffened, somewhat shocked as she turned her head to look at him.
Qin Nanyu's eyes darkened further, like overcast clouds that stretch endlessly.
