"Those two kids will have a good future."
"Our Xiao Lan will have a good future too."
"Of course she will."
The couple rode their bike, their figures slowly disappearing into the night. Finally, only Sun Li's voice could be heard, saying, "Who says daughters are no good?"
Qin Bogang didn't say anything more.

The next day was Monday. There was a flag-raising ceremony in the morning, so Qin Jiao woke up early. Just as she pushed her door open, she saw Shen Yi also opening his door to leave.
She gave him a nod without saying anything. Shen Yi, however, got on his bike and caught up to her.
"Did you have a lot of people over yesterday? It sounded lively." Shen Yi knew that if he didn't say something first, Qin Jiao would likely stay silent the entire way to school.
He really wanted to hear her voice, even if it was just to talk about everyday things.
