He remembered that there was once when Uncle Ye came to visit after his mom had stayed with him for more than ten days.

Uncle Ye always tried to express his concern and asked whether he needed help or faced any difficulties but he merely thanked him with a smile. He didn't need the man who his mother had married to treat him well. All he wanted was for Uncle Ye to love his mother wholeheartedly.

His mother spent 7 days with him this trip and during this time, he would bring his mother out on walks, head to nearby places to sketch, and take her to concerts, and so on. His mother seemed very reluctant to part with him at the end of the trip and this time, she even burst into tears. However, she also told him to take good care of his father before she left.
