Actually, the love that Father has for Tang Rong is still the same as before. He takes her out to play every week, and brings her gifts when he goes on business trips. On the surface, the family seems unchanged, but many underlying things have quietly transformed.
Tang Rong no longer hears the cheerful laughter at the dinner table like before, nor does she actively ask her father to watch TV with her after dinner. She fears he'll refuse her, even though he has never rejected any of her requests.
Suddenly, she thought of her good friend, that little girl must be lonely, even though she can play outside until dark every day and has more pocket money than Tang Rong envied. She remembers going to that girl's house once, and she took out a tin box filled with lots of money. The largest denomination was a hundred, which Tang Rong had never used before.
