Then, the Master continued to explain to Xia Chuyi, "More than twenty years ago, my family wanted me to be with someone else, but I refused and left home with your Master Father to fend for ourselves."
"For several years after that, I didn't communicate with my family."
"Later on, I thought about going back to look for someone, but..."
Master sighed deeply and said, "As a result, it almost got your Master Father thrown into a labor reform camp."
"In order to avoid disaster, we moved to City G with your Master Father."
Master looked off into the distance and fell silent for a while.
She then continued, "To tell you the truth, I never planned on returning to Capital City... partly because I was ashamed, and partly because I didn't know if the past events would recur."
Xia Chuyi understood what Master meant.
She silently nodded, thinking to herself: No wonder my Master Father hid in this little alley, running a small noodle shop to barely make ends meet.
