Chapter 136
The sun gradually spread its wings across the sky, casting golden light upon the earth, making the clouds appear crowned with a golden layer.
Bai Yi and Xia Jiajia had enjoyed a pleasant time gossiping together. After all, gossip is sweeter when shared with someone else – it would be quite unfriendly to gossip enthusiasts to have juicy stories but no one to tell them to.
After satisfying her desire to share gossip, Xia Jiajia suddenly remembered to ask, “Oh right, it’s not even a school day, why did you leave home so early? Do you have something urgent? I hope I’m not taking up your time?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I have an appointment to meet an elder. Sort of like a grandmother who watched me grow up,” Bai Yi answered with a light smile while stroking Bai Xiaoxi in his arms. “…But it’s still early before the appointed time, so there’s no rush.”
“Besides, today’s date is somewhat special.”
“Special date? Is it some holiday I don’t know about?” Xia Jiajia curiously checked her calendar, “June 16th… I don’t see anything special…” she muttered to herself, then suddenly remembered something, “Ah, I just recalled, tomorrow is Teacher Gu’s death anniversary.”
Bai Yi paused slightly when she mentioned “Teacher Gu.”
Thinking he didn’t remember, Xia Jiajia explained, “You know, Teacher Gu who died in that car accident last year. I only realized his death anniversary was coming up because I ran into his parents at a nearby flower shop yesterday evening. Seeing the elderly couple buying flowers for the memorial made me remember…”
“What a coincidence,” Bai Yi responded casually.
