A sentence fell, and the entire room grew quiet.
Xu Ruohua's eyes widened, unable to speak.
Xu Qiaoqiao stared at Qi Liu. After a while, she scoffed coldly, "It's ridiculous. Do you think dating my mom makes you my dad? You're overthinking! I'm definitely not learning to swim!"
With that, she turned and walked towards the balcony.
The night breeze in Hainan was comforting as it brushed against her skin. Xu Qiaoqiao stood there, staring into the dark distance.
She thought of everything that had occurred in the sea that day, and her legs couldn't help but tremble and wobble.
Even now, recalling it made her frightened.
She took a deep breath and continued to stare into the distance.
At that moment, there was some noise at the door. Without turning around, she heard Xu Ruohua speak, "Qiaoqiao."
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't respond.
Xu Ruohua then stood beside her, extending a warm hand and grasping her icy, temperature-less hand.
Then, Xu Ruohua embraced her.
