Fu Han's crisp voice carried a soft and glutinous tone as it rang out, "Grandpa, don't lie to me. You are the most important person to He Xing; how could he possibly blame you? He dreams of you living a long life."
Her words exposed Grandpa He's "lie" and elevated the relationship between He Xing and Grandpa He, undoubtedly strengthening the bond between them more than ever before.
A broader smile spread across Grandpa He's face, "What He Xing dreams of is you, not me. He wouldn't dream of me at all."
A video call brought the ward back to life, bustling with noise and warmth once more.
Standing behind his grandfather, He Xing wasn't in the frame, but he could clearly see Fu Han. He watched her almost greedily, eager to imprint every smile and frown of hers into his memory.
