Seeing this scene, Qiao Xiguan felt all sorts of emotions mixed together—sweet, bitter, and sour. After dinner, Gu Mingnian was still clinging to Gu Zichen, insisting that he watch TV with her. She nestled in his arms, watching "Princess Sofia" together, and Gu Zichen was not at all impatient, spending the whole night with Gu Mingnian watching this childish cartoon. Occasionally, Niannian would discuss the plot with Gu Zichen, and he would patiently chat with her. The two of them, one big and one small, seemed completely harmonious.
The lonely Qiao Xiguan and Gu Minglu just looked at this father and daughter pair, feeling awkwardly left out. When it was 9 p.m., Qiao Xiguan urged that it was time for bed. Gu Mingnian once again put on a "Daddy is mine" expression, lying on Gu Zichen's shoulder, refusing to let go. Gu Zichen didn't say much either, carrying Gu Mingnian to Qiao Xiguan's room, helping her wash up, and then lying her down on the bed.
