Knowing that Bai Shengqi had always wanted to know what his forgotten parents looked like, Dong Anni went to great lengths to find this pocket watch. At that time, she and Bai Shengqi had nothing left to say to each other, so she instructed her daughter to make sure it was delivered to him, saying it was very important to him. The next day, she died in a car accident.
After her death, when the police asked him to identify her body, Bai Shengqi wouldn't even go, let alone help with the funeral arrangements.
His indifference made Bai Xue unwilling to give him the pocket watch, and consequently, she held onto it for many years.
Now that he is in this state, if this pocket watch brings him some comfort, there's no point in her holding onto it.
Bai Shengqi looked at the photo inside the pocket watch, his eyes welling up with tears, not from seeing the image of his unremembered parents but rather from the memories of his time with Dong Anni.
