After approximately an hour of being jostled in the vehicle, they finally arrived in the city. Tang Yuxin rubbed her eyes, feeling a slight sting and discomfort. She wanted to sleep, but she managed to stay awake until now without dosing off.

Carrying her in one arm, Tang Zhinian also got out of the vehicle.

In order to save a few cents on the fare, he walked to where Sang Zhilan worked. These few cents could be used to buy a few more pieces of caramel for his little Yuxin.

Tang Yuxin could feel that Tang Zhinian was not only a little out of breath after a short walk, but his clothes had also become somewhat damp. Holding her, despite her not being too heavy, was exhausting after a while.

However, no matter how tired he was, Tang Zhinian never stopped.

After approximately two hours, they finally arrived at the textile factory where Sang Zhilan worked.

“Comrade, could I ask if Sang Zhilan is in?”

Tang Zhinian had never been here before, so he was a bit nervous. Even his voice quivered as he spoke.

“You’re looking for Sang Zhilan?” The gatekeeper sized up Tang Zhinian for a while, then looked at the child he was holding. The child was quite attractive, very well-behaved, and rather pretty.

“What a beautiful child,” the gatekeeper couldn’t help but praise.

Tang Yuxin opened her small mouth and smiled, looking even more cute and lovable.

Yes, she is beautiful. When she was young, she often heard this praise. However, she heard it mostly when she was at home. Old people in the village always said Tang Zhinian’s child was very pretty, with double eyelids, big eyes, and a little face. But as the elderly saying goes, children should not be too beautiful; otherwise, they may not look as good when they grow up. Perhaps it refers to her. She was beautiful as a child, but after growing up, she became unattractive, short, and thin. Her skin was also amongst the worst, dark and dull. On top of that, she wore glasses, which gave an impression of knowledge but did not add to her attractiveness. She wondered if her plain, pure appearance now was a mask, that she was initially a freshly steamed baozi but later became a monotonous bun.

“Hold on,” the gatekeeper seemed pitiful toward the child. On a cold day like this, workers in the factory wouldn’t be allowed to leave while working.

Tang Zhinian, holding Tang Yuxin, sat on the steps nearby. He took out a warm water bottle from his coat and placed it in front of his daughter.

“Yuxin, take a sip of water.”

Tang Yuxin shook her head, “Daddy, you drink.”

“Daddy won’t drink,” Tang Zhinian replied with a smile. However, his lips were visibly chapped. The water he carried wasn’t much, fearing that if he consumed it all, his daughter would have nothing to drink.

Tang Yuxin shook her head again, “If daddy doesn’t drink, Xinxin won’t drink either.”

“Alright,” Tang Zhinian opened the bottle, took a small sip by himself, then handed the bottle to his daughter.

Learning from her father, Tang Yuxin also took a small sip.

The father and daughter sipped their water alternately. It didn’t take long for the bottle to empty. Shaking the now empty bottle, Tang Zhinian felt a bit uneasy.
