After the chat, Gong Xiaoqiao left alone.
Her mind was filled with messy memories…
Her father had climbed the social ladder and abandoned her already pregnant mother.
And so, Gong Xiaoqiao became an illegitimate child.
Because Hannian’s mother could not tolerate her, the old master of the Gong family took pity on her and brought his granddaughter to his side to raise.
Gong Xiaoqiao was sent there at the age of three, and her appearance could be described in one word: “round.”
At that time, Gu Hangshen was twelve, coming into his own like a bamboo shoot after the rain, even prettier than a girl.
There’s a saying that at three years old, one’s life is set, and three-year-old Gong Xiaoqiao was already very good at judging people by their looks.
Because she had just arrived in a strange environment, Xiaoqiao would only cry all day long and not speak a word, which made the old master incredibly anxious.
The Gu Family had a quiet residence nearby, and before going abroad, Gu Hangshen had always lived there.
The Gu Family had a private friendship with the Gong family, and the two families were very close.
One day, when Gu Hangshen followed his parents on a visit, the old master was desperately trying to soothe the little tyrant in his arms, when suddenly Gong Xiaoqiao stopped crying upon seeing Gu Hangshen. She then looked at him, spread her short chubby arms, and shockingly uttered her first words since arriving at the place, “Brother, hug~”
From that time on, Gong Xiaoqiao, like a little bird that hadn’t lost its fluff, followed him everywhere he went, almost more like his sister than his own sister, Gu Xiaorou.

In her senior year of high school, her first love Qin Yao left her and Gu Xiaorou for the evil capitalist country, and her mother abandoned her to meet Jesus.
Gong Xiaoqiao’s world collapsed.
On that rainy day, she staggered and fainted outside the front door of Gu Hangshen’s home.
Her mother’s sudden death, combined with missing the college entrance exam to chase Qin Yao to the airport, made Gong Xiaoqiao feel that everything was meaningless. She became heartbroken and closed off for a long time.
During this time, it was always Gu Hangshen who stayed by her side.
For half a year, Xiaoqiao didn’t speak and completely cut off all contact with the outside world, even attempting suicide once. No matter what Gu Hangshen tried, there was no way he could make her feel better.
That was until one day, when Gu Hangshen came down with a high fever and lay unconscious in bed. Gong Xiaoqiao suddenly woke up, cried and called for an ambulance, sending him to the hospital, where it turned out that his condition had worsened into pneumonia.
Gong Xiaoqiao stayed by his side for a week without leaving, filled with self-blame. If she had noticed earlier, he wouldn’t have become so seriously ill.
That day, she said to him, “I’m sorry,” and then went back to repeat her senior year.
In the end, unexpectedly, with her intelligence, she was admitted to a key university at that time; of course, the tutoring from Gu Hangshen played an indispensable role.
After being admitted to the university, because she had to go to City A to study, the old master asked Gu Hangshen to look after her, and Gu Hangshen became her guardian.
He didn’t want her to live on campus, so she went on a hunger strike for three days in protest. The protest was effective, the revolution a success.
Latterly… Gu Hangshen rented a room nearby the school to live in, caring for and looking after her…
To be fair, Gu Hangshen treated her well.
He was the person in the world, besides her mother and grandfather, who had been the kindest to her, so much so that for a long time she was very dependent on him…
Stepping out of the villa, Gong Xiaoqiao looked up at the night sky that had neither stars nor moon.
Her world had no stars, no moon.
In that case… she thought to herself, light up your own way…
