Jian Yufei was sitting alone, lost in thought, when a small ball rolled to her feet. She bent down to pick it up.
"Auntie... the ball, it's mine..." a little girl of about two stood before her, with wide, apprehensive eyes.
Jian Yufei passed the ball to the little girl with a smile. Happy, the girl hugged the ball and turned around to find her parents.
The girl's parents were young. When she approached her father, he lifted her into his arms and let her sit on his neck. The girl giggled and her laughter was pleasant to hear.
Jian Yufei watched the family in envy and sadness.
Why did her parents abandon her when she was a child?
If their family was together, would she be as happy as this little girl too...?
Jian Yufei did not realize how long she had been sitting there until it started getting darker.
Ruan Tianling finished his work early and was ready to leave.
As he walked towards the elevator, he dialed Jian Yufei's number.
