Meng Zhi, wearing a smile that reached Gu Dai through the phone, said in a doting tone, "Daidai, I've got a surprise for you. When it arrives, see if it's to your liking. If not, Third Brother will find something else just for you."
Gu Dai's lips curled into a smile as happiness flooded her heart. Yet, her voice conveyed a gentle protest, "Third Brother, I really don't need anything. You shouldn't have gone through the trouble."
Meng Zhi exclaimed, as he became emotional. "But I insist! I have only one sister. If not for you, who would I buy gifts for?"
He wished he could shower her with gifts to make up for the lost three years.
For a moment, memories swirled in Gu Dai's mind, transporting her back to blissful days before the cruise ship incident.
Growing up, apart from her parents, her uncle from her mom's side doted on her the most.
