"You... aren't you surnamed... Jiang..."
I stuttered and asked.
They always say you shouldn't mess around close to home, who would have thought my first sneaky act in life would end up in such a big misunderstanding!
I really remember that the little cry baby's nickname was Yan-Yan, but his dad's surname was Jiang!
"They divorced, I took my mom's surname."
Xu Yan briefly explained to me what happened after we parted ways.
After his parents divorced, he entered a new family with Aunt Xu.
Thankfully, his stepfather treated him well.
Being excellent in character and academics, he attended a prestigious school, studied abroad, and only returned to the country this year.
A lot of older people tend to be nostalgic as they age.
Recently, Xu Yan visited the old places with Aunt Xu and paid a visit to my parents.
The two old friends had a great chat.
Half of their conversation was about the youthful days, and the other half was about their children now.
