In the following days, Tongtong called her mother every day, but Bai Yiyi's phone remained off.
It felt like she was pulling a "disappear for ten days" just like Gu Kai.
Gu Kai didn't stop Tongtong from sending voice messages to Bai Yiyi every day. When he had isolated himself in the seaside villa previously, his heart had been full of resentment toward Bai Yiyi, without a trace of longing.
But now, facing Tongtong day after day, listening to her say she missed her mother, looking at Tongtong's little face that bore some resemblance to Bai Yiyi's, and recalling the words of Bai Yuqin—that Bai Yiyi loved him—
A growing, unbidden yearning for Bai Yiyi began sprouting quietly in the depths of his heart.
That day, Gu Kai was supposed to be on leave to spend the weekend with Tongtong, but he received an unexpected call from the hospital asking him to return, so he brought Tongtong along with him.
