Being with him brought great pressure not only to me but also to Candy. His classmates and their parents must be gossiping about Candy behind our backs, wouldn't they? Even if the parents didn't say anything, the teachers might discuss it occasionally. This would significantly impact a child's development. I didn't want that. I didn't want Qi Longbing to make my Candy feel embarrassed, nor myself.
I could endure it, but how could little Candy bear such a thing? Her self-esteem would be hurt; it would be a considerable blow for her. As for myself, I could barely pretend not to hear anything, play deaf and dumb, and let it pass. That part didn't really matter.
