"Little Yinzhu is undergoing thermal expansion and contraction." Song Shuhang explained with a perfectly straight face while spouting nonsense. "Because of her Cold Syndrome, Little Yinzhu's body switches between different age stages. When the cold energy inside her rises, her body contracts from the cold. Once the cold energy is expelled and her body temperature rises, she grows a little. It's perfectly scientific."
Last time, when he brought Li Yinzhu and Little Guoguo home, Li Yinzhu had maintained the appearance of a five- or six-year-old. Her current appearance after thermal expansion should have stirred Dad Song's memories.
However, when he had returned home last time, his relationship with Li Yinzhu had been different from now. They had not yet established a family relationship.

Something this miraculous had happened right before her eyes... It was much more reliable than the Blade Flight technique Song Shuhang had performed.
"Yes, I brought her and Little Guoguo back last time."

When her illness worsened later on... the cold energy would even freeze her completely. Thus, in terms of personality, she was almost no different from a child.

"Wait, don't tell me Little Guoguo is your son too?" Mom Song suddenly looked up and asked.
Song Shuhang looked utterly bewildered:
