To not become a burden, Chen Danian learned to walk with his hands. When no one was home, he would abandon the wheelchair and grit his teeth in pain, binding his legs as he moved forward with his hands propping up his body. This practice exhausted him, but he needed to act unfazed when his family was back.
However, there was no way to keep it a secret for long. Yingying eventually discovered it.
One afternoon, Yingying returned ahead of time and saw Chen Danian in the stairwell moving upwards with his hands. At that instant, Yingying's tears streamed down her cheeks as she knelt in front of Chen Danian and wailed.
"Dad! Sob!" Yingying cried.
However, Chen Danian laughed. "Silly girl, why are you crying? You are already so old, yet you cry like you are a hundred-kilogram fatty."
