Ji Wei's cheeks flushed with a sickly red, and she slept fitfully, lost in a haze. Her brows were tightly furrowed, her mind tangled with a mess of memories.
The scene rewound to ten years ago.
Ji Yunli had just returned from work, carrying little Ji Wei on his shoulders and running circles around the courtyard.
"Daddy, Daddy, slow down! I'm scared!"
"What are you afraid of? With Daddy holding you, there's nothing to fear!"
"Daddy, when I grow up, can I still ride on your shoulders like this?"
Ji Yunli burst into laughter, "You little rascal, when you grow up, Daddy will be old. How could I still carry you?"
"You won't grow old! In my heart, you'll always be the youngest, Daddy!"
"Sweet talker…"
The scene shifted—
"Grandma, is this little bunny for me? It's so cute!" Little Ji Wei hugged a chubby gray rabbit, her eyes sparkling with delight.
"Of course, my dear granddaughter. Tell Grandma, is there any other gift you'd like?"
