On the road, An Qi borrowed Zhou Jiajia's phone to call her mother and give her the news that she had woken up.
On hearing that her daughter had awoken, An's mother was overjoyed; she immediately sent people to prepare for a celebration to welcome An Qi home and dispel any bad luck.
Upon arriving in front of An Qi's home, Lin Yifan got out of the car and personally escorted An Qi inside.
While passing through the gate, they crossed over a fire basin; the basin symbolized burning off any bad luck from the sick person, praying that the patient would never be plagued by misfortune again.
Although it was a superstitious practice, its intention was good.
The moment they stepped through the gate, An's father and mother came over and took their beloved daughter from Lin Yifan's hands.
They had not seen An Qi's smile or her eyes for a long time and missed them deeply, more than anyone else present, a testament perhaps to a parent's love for their own flesh and blood.
