C347

On the plane to the United States, I slept snot-nosed and drugged with fever, feeling dizzy all the way until I stepped onto New York City and heard those foreigners chattering in foreign languages. Only then did I realize that everything was real, that Gao Kan had accompanied me on a vacation.

Gao Kan pulled the suitcase along and walked in front of me.

His height, in the large sized European and American groups, seemed average, not that outstanding. Like all normal men, he was just a handsome man, and no longer the label of Director Gao or small height total.

As for me, I was a half-starring singer who got pissed off after a while. I walked happily in the crowd, no one noticing me. Occasionally, someone would pass my line of sight, but it was only because we were walking together.

This feeling of freedom was truly amazing.

Like a bird out of its cage, I was so excited that I felt comfortable, even my nose was blocked.

I quickly caught up with him and chased after him. I shouted at the top of my lungs, "Hubby!"

Gao Kan turned his head to look at me, his face still showing signs of fatigue — he had been taking care of me the whole way.

"Hubby!" I shouted again, standing on tiptoe and putting my arms around his neck and kissing him a few times without embarrassment.

Gao Kan put down the luggage and also hugged me, the corner of his mouth blossoming into a big smile, until he revealed a row of big white teeth, "Yo, such a small fry, don't you want to be angry with me anymore?"

"What did you say?" I can't hear you! " I put my ear close to his and shouted mischievously, "Gambling? I'm not betting, gambling is not a good habit, so you should give up! "

"Little Scoundrel." Gao Kan kissed on the cheek and then covered my lips.

Ahem, like a couple who had a secret affair in a foreign land, we were in the lobby of the airport, entwined and eager to kiss.

After the kiss ended, I hung from Gao Kan's neck, unable to breathe.

He picked me up and put me on the trunk of the wheel.

Wow, wow, wow, I really like this feeling of being pampered.

I was so engrossed that I hugged Gao Kan's arm and acted like a spoiled child, "Hubby, I'm going to Disney. You promised before that you would accompany me there."

However, Gao Kan said: "Next time, this time won't do. We still have to take the train later, I'll bring you to a more fun place."

I was pleasantly surprised. "You already have a plan?"

"Of course, let's go. We have plenty of time, I can guarantee you that you will have a good time."

"Alright!" I was filled with anticipation and excitement about the rest of the trip. Zhou Jin, the scandal, the rumors, even Hua Yang was thrown to the back of her mind.

We bought a phone card at the airport, and he called a taxi to take us to the train station. After that, we rode for over an hour before the train arrived.

It was just dawn, and a light drizzle was falling.

I hid myself in Gao Kan's embrace to avoid the rain. He used his big palms to set up a small tent to protect me from the rain. We were waiting for a taxi.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

My excited mood was slightly heavy.

Gao Kan used his finger to poke at my drooping eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to come and see what kind of life I've been leading these past few years?"

"Yes!" I nodded my head heavily and hugged him by the waist. "Just thinking about how much pain you had suffered back then made me feel very uncomfortable," I said honestly. Most importantly, the person you shared five years of memories with is not me.

"Don't be silly, the past is a thing of the past. It means nothing, just a memory. " Gao Kan laughed and rubbed his chin against my wet hair, then pointed to the reddish-brown sandstone building on the other side of the road and said in a relaxed tone, "You see, that was once a low-rent house in the slums. I lived there before — to be precise, I wandered and slept on this street. You see, how beautifully it's been refurbished now, and there's no sign of a worn, dirty part of it, do you? "

I happily patted his fine leather jacket. "Yes, just like how you are now, hubby. You look so radiant."

When the taxi arrived, Gao Kan gave a name to the driver. The black driver then helped to stuff the luggage into the trunk and headed towards their destination in a friendly manner.

Unlike the bustling city of New York, it was quiet, with its many old buildings, its high trees, its courtly grandeur, and the walls on either side of the street painted with hip-hop graffiti.

Gao Kan chatted with the driver in English. I was a little sleepy, and when I was about to fall asleep, he suddenly raised his voice and said "Slowly" to the black guy. Then, he pushed me on the shoulder and said, "Do you see that garbage station?"

"Hmm?" I opened my eyes in a daze and followed the direction of his finger as the taxi slowed down. Just ahead of us, at a garbage dump, was a garbage truck, and a sprinkler was parked, ticking and singing.

Gao Kan's expression was a little excited, and said: "Then it will be my first home."

"Home?" I was stunned for a few seconds before I realised that the 'home' he was referring to meant …

"He was the one who threw me here that year, but at the time, it wasn't as clean and modern as it looks now. This is an open garbage dump, and summer flies were flying everywhere and the stench filled the air."

Gao Kan's voice was very calm, there was even a hint of ridicule in it, as though he was talking about the past of an insignificant person, the car slowly drove past the trash station.

When Gao Kan had just turned eighteen and lost his mother, he had actually thrown him into an unfamiliar country, an unfamiliar city, and even a trash station.

"He's so bad. You're his own son!" I whispered.

Gao Kan shrugged indifferently, "But it's not like he has no conscience at all. He still deserves my thanks. For example, this rubbish dump is located at a crossroads, there's a bus stop nearby, it's easy to find food, and it's not considered bad, right? At least when I opened my eyes, I sat there for three days and three nights, hungry and dizzy, and when I picked up a hamburger with chicken legs that an Asian sister had half-eaten and thrown away, she didn't go far, and when she looked back and saw me eating the other half, she bought me a hot drink. "Ah, now that I think about it, it must have been the first time in my life that I ate such delicious food. It was as precious as Jesus' wine."

I was amused by his humorous tone and asked, "How did you do that three days and three nights?"

I can't imagine how Gao Kan convinced himself before he picked up that piece of hamburger.

A young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth was escorted by a bodyguard on a babysitter's cart when he was young and ate the most expensive food. After seventeen years like this, he was thrown into that godforsaken place of the Da Liang Shan and together, he was cut down, firewood, and fodder for pigs and sheep. I had thought that this would be the worst experience I could ever experience for Gao Kan and never would have thought that he would have such a tragic past where his father had abandoned him to fend for himself.
