"Look."
"It's this Little Bear Doll."
Hua Ziyun gave the phone in his hand a slight shake.
"My bear!"
The child blurted out.
"That's right."
Hua Ziyun nodded.
"Your bear."
"Do you still want it?"
"I..."
The child tilted her head.
A hint of confusion showed in her eyes.

"Last time, you were the one who threw it away."

The sound of hurried footsteps drew closer.
There wasn't just one set.
There were two.
Hua Ziyun looked
