Gu Beicheng looked tenderly at the girl in his arms, then lowered his head to kiss her at the corner of her eye once more.
Xia Yinian bit her lip, meeting the man's gaze.
"Uncle, I want to go see Grandpa."
She knew the situation wasn't optimistic, but there was still a chance.
"Alright, I'll take you there."
Gu Beicheng put the girl at the edge of the bed, letting her legs naturally dangle down.
He crouched beside her, gently taking her shoes and slipping them on her feet.
Watching his actions, Xia Yinian instinctively pulled her feet back slightly.
"Uncle," the girl softly called out, her brows slightly furrowed.
Gu Beicheng held her foot, carefully putting on both shoes before looking up to meet her eyes.
"How's that? Does anything feel uncomfortable?"
The man's soft gaze, combined with his tender actions, left Xia Yinian momentarily speechless.
