Little Yichen was distracted, and Gong Fan was clearly in a daze.
He kept savaging the egg yolk on his plate with his knife and fork, as if thinking about something.
When Yun Shishi saw how distracted he looked, she was naturally rather worried. “What’s on your mind?”
Gong Fan only came back to his senses after a long while. He looked up at her and replied, “Oh, I feel… a little unfamiliar. I feel like I’ve been sleeping for a long time.”
Little Yichen smiled at that. “You’re right. You were indeed sleeping for a long time.”
Gong Fan frowned as Yun Shishi tried to probe further, “Do you remember where you were before you fell asleep?”
Gong Fan recalled for a moment and looked up. “In Mommy’s arms?”
“Eh? You remember.”
“Well, I seem to remember Youyou promising someone that he’d make a series of desserts, and then… I don’t know what happened that day, but I suddenly passed out…”
“You… didn’t think there was something odd about it? Why did you suddenly pass out for no reason?” She deliberately asked this question to uncover a clue from Gong Fan.
When Gong Fan heard this, he cooperated and tried to search for his memories. However, no matter how he thought about it, a portion of his memories from that day was indeed missing.
“I can’t remember…”
“I see…” Yun Shishi could not help feeling disappointed, but she tried to hide it.
Gong Fan, however, could clearly sense the disappointment in her expression and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Did something happen that day?”
“Nothing!” Yun Shishi sat down and smiled. “Let’s eat! The sooner we’re done, the sooner we can take a walk outside, eh?”
“Alright!” Gong Fan’s expression immediately relaxed. He relished the time he spent with Yun Shishi, for it made him feel as though the world quietened down and everything was blissful.
Little Yichen, however, still looked troubled. He had had an exhausting nightmare the night before, and had not been able to recover even long after waking up.

In the backyard, the actor stood by the swing and gazed quietly at Natalia, who was sitting on it, minding her own business. It was quiet and leisurely.
“Can you push me?” Natalia suddenly asked for a hand from him.
Hua Jin gave her an amused half-smile. “Why? I tried to push you earlier, but you said you wanted to do it yourself.”
“I want to swing higher, but I’ve been swinging for a long time and I can’t get higher.”
Resigned, the actor came around behind her and gave her a gentle push. “Let’s keep it that way. What if it swings too high and you fly out of the seat?”
But Natalia shook her head like a rattle. “No, no, I want to swing higher. Don’t worry! I’ll hold on tight!”
Hua Jin could do nothing to convince her otherwise, so he repeatedly reminded her, “You have to hold on tight. Otherwise, you’ll fall and it’s going to give you a concussion.”
“Okay.” Natalia nodded and gripped the rope.
The actor pushed a little harder, and the swing swung high.
“Wow!” Natalia smiled through narrowed, excited eyes.
The swing slowed gradually after that. After experiencing the thrill, Natalia settled down and sat on the swing, letting the gentle breeze caress her face.
“When is Daddy coming back?” she asked out of the blue.
The actor looked startled by her question. “Why?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. “Do you miss Daddy?”
“Uh huh!”
“Didn’t you just video call him a few days ago?”
