“If daddy won’t eat, Xinxin won’t eat either,” Tang Yuxin put down her bread, displaying her obstinacy as a young girl. Tang Zhinian had lately started to get a sense of his daughter’s temperament. She’s grown, and has become more perceptive, but she’s also become more stubborn.

She was always a stubborn child.

He had no choice but to pick up the bread and started eating with his daughter. On their way back, he planned to buy more for her to snack on.

For drinking, he took out a bottle of water from his own bag—the water was still hot. They were in the hospital, so the availability of water was not a concern for them.

With the bread shared and some water drank, both father and daughter were now satiated, at least for the time being.

“Daddy, I need to pee,” Tang Yuxin tugged at Tang Zhinian’s sleeve, her face expressing an unbearable helplessness. It was like being thrown back to her childhood, where she had to cope with less than ideal situations. However, this particular issue of going to the bathroom was a constant headache to her.

When she was younger, after using the toilet, it was her father who cleaned her up. However, she was a girl, a thirty-year-old woman. The mere thought of needing such help was heart-wrenching. So now, when she needs to use the restroom, she insists on doing it herself.

Tang Zhinian didn’t think much of it, assuming it was just part of his daughter growing up.

But how much could a three-year-old have grown between now and the past? How much could she have changed?

He asked a nurse for directions and then took his daughter to the restroom. The place where they had fetched water earlier was quite close to it.

Be careful, don’t trip and fall, he silently told his daughter. As a grown man, Tang Zhinian couldn’t go into the women’s restroom, nor could he just let his little girl go in alone. What if she fell into the toilet pit?

Tang Yuxin finally ventured into the restroom, amidst her father’s numerous admonishing. She was extremely desperate to relieve herself. Even though she could’ve just peed behind a big tree considering her age, as an adult at heart, she couldn’t bring herself to do so.

Back then, toilets weren’t flushing ones. In the hospital toilets, there was a water drainage channel and the waste would be washed away later.

After being careful and using the restroom, Tang Yuxin finally emerged.

“Daddy, I want to go upstairs,” she pointed to the stairs. She noticed when she had arrived that the pediatric ward was on the second floor.

“Alright.”

Tang Zhinian thought his daughter just wanted to play on the stairs, so he held her hand as they laboriously climbed up. Despite Tang Yuxin being tiny, her family had made sure she was well-nourished and healthy, which gave her the strength to move around rather briskly.

When they reached the second floor, Tang Yuxin, hand-in-hand with her father, began wandering around. She had forgotten which room they were supposed to visit and could only search randomly until she cast her gaze towards a faucet and saw the back of a woman. She found the figure incredibly familiar. Seems like Tang Zhinian recognized her too, after all, this was a woman he had shared bed and pillow with—it was impossible for him not to recognize her.

However, why was Zhilan in the hospital? Was she not feeling well? Worried, he hurriedly carried his daughter and went to Zhilan, who was carrying a plastic basin and walking towards a ward.

Tang Zhinian hastened to catch up but stood outside the ward. Mid-way through entering the ward, he suddenly froze, because he could hear voices coming from the half-open door.

“Nini, mama will make some yummy food for you, okay?” Sang Zhilan was seen tenderly stroking her daughter’s hair and telling her, “Our Nini needs to be a good girl, okay?”
