"Hanhan really wanted a dad. Muqing and I went out for dinner with him once and there was a family of three sitting next to us. The family had a daughter about Hanhan's age who had just learned to speak not too long ago. She would keep calling 'daddy' and you could tell that her dad really adored her. Her father replied to every cry. The more the girl cried out for him, the higher her voice was. In the end, Hanhan couldn't help but turn his head and look over at the girl. Hanhan didn't say anything, but I could tell that he was envious, really envious..."
"That night, when we got back home and after I told him a bedtime story, I sat writing beside him. In the middle of the night, he talked in his sleep. That was the first time I heard Hanhan talk in his sleep. He cried just one word. It was... Daddy..."
Han Zhifan gaped, wanting to say something, but in the end, he realized that his throat hurt so much that he couldn't utter a single word.
