The door of the room was tightly closed and the living room was too quiet.
Since finding his daughter, Li Yuan has seen her at least twelve hours out of twenty-four. Now that he hasn't seen her for a day, his longing for her is growing stronger.
Li Yuan stroked his forehead, not letting himself think too much, and drank the water in one breath. He casually put the cup on the table, then stood up and went upstairs with his clothes.
After turning off the lights in the living room, Li Yuan slowly went upstairs in the dark.
After walking up the last flight of stairs, he ran his slender fingers back and forth on the wall, finally finding the switch in the corridor and pressing it.
“Surprise!”
Ji Zhinan, who had been hiding somewhere just now, suddenly jumped in front of Li Yuan. She was not dressed up and was wearing a pair of furry pajamas that couldn't be more ordinary. She wore a hat with bear ears on her head. Her whole body was brown, and she looked like a cute little bear.
Charleson laughed along, being over forty years old, it was rare for him to follow Ji Zhinan in doing these childish little actions while waiting for someone and then suddenly popping up.
“…” Li Yuan was not startled by Ji Zhinan’s sudden appearance, but was a little surprised to see her.
He thought she had already fallen asleep.
Seeing that she was only wearing pajamas without even a coat, Li Yuan's expression changed. Without saying a word, he immediately put the coat in his hand on her and started to speak words of concern.
"You kid, it's so cold and you're only wearing pajamas. What if you catch a cold?"
Although Ji Zhinan was wearing thick pajamas, there was a kind of cold that made your father feel cold. As long as Ji Zhinan didn't dress like a ball, Li Yuan was afraid that his precious daughter would be frozen.
Concern comes from the heart, and words of concern are spoken directly without thinking. After saying this, Li Yuan remembered that he had quarreled with his daughter before, and his expression was slightly stiff and uncomfortable.
Ji Zhinan's beautiful eyes stared at Li Yuan's face, making Li Yuan feel very uncomfortable.
He was worried that she would be cold, so he put his coat on himself, but he didn't think about the fact that he was only wearing a shirt underneath and a sleeveless sweater on top, which was even less than her...
Ji Zhinan pursed her lips, reached out and grabbed Li Yuan's sleeve. Feeling his daughter pulling him, Li Yuan's body stiffened a little.
"Dad..." She whispered, "Some people say that children without fathers are like weeds."
“…”
"Before you showed up, I was someone anyone could spit on. Even with Gu Yibei, he could only give me exclusive love, but not the warmth of family affection. I'll never forget how Ji Zhixia, Mu Minmin, and Cao Nana would always humiliate me by calling me 'a wild child' or 'a bastard whose father doesn't love him, whose mother doesn't care for him.'"
Li Yuan's face changed slightly. He had never thought that his daughter would grow up in such a life.
"Before, apart from Grandpa, no one liked me or doted on me. Until Gu Yibei showed up. His presence re-infused moisture into my previously dry life and made me realize that I hadn't been abandoned... He's a very good person who indulged and doted on me."
After a pause, Ji Zhinan continued, "But this is different from your feelings for me, Dad. You really treat me like a princess, pampering me and letting me do whatever little temper I have. You never lose your temper with me. In Bai Chuan's words, even if the sky falls, you will hold me up and push it up..."
