Yun Liuli, who suddenly returned to seven years old all over again, stared at Gu Qingcheng with her clear eyes. When their eyes met, Gu Qingcheng, who was usually calm and steady, had no idea what to say, only feeling terribly worried.
"Uncle, do you stay in this ward too?" Yun Liuli asked Gu Qingcheng as if the Gu Qingcheng standing right before her was a mere stranger, an… uncle who was a stranger to her.
Gu Qingcheng, who had been standing at the foot of the bed looking at Yun Liuli, pursed his lips and replied, "I'm your father's friend…"
"How do you do, Uncle!" Yun Liuli obediently greeted him, then asked in a soft voice, "Uncle, where's my daddy? My arms hurt so much, I miss Daddy…"
Once, when Yun Shoushan suddenly departed from this world, what Gu Qingcheng found most difficult… was telling Yun Liuli that her father was no longer alive, that he would become her guardian from then onwards.
