Actually, she had a lot to say to her dad, and so many questions she wanted to ask him. Yet she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
When the affection in her heart clashed with love, when she felt she was betraying social morality, how could she explain it to her father?
She was sullen during the tomb-sweeping, but Little Sanqi, the pretty little girl, was so happy she couldn't contain herself.
Not having to go to kindergarten was one reason, but another was that she could see Uncle Ai again.
No matter whether it's adults or children, feelings are deeply rooted in the heart. After being with Ai Qing for a span of six years, Sanqi's feelings for him could not be compared to those for any ordinary uncle.
To say that their relationship did not include familial affection would be unbelievable to anyone.
So, on the way to the restaurant where they had agreed to meet with Ai Qing, Little Sanqi kept chattering non-stop about Uncle Ai, telling how much she had missed him.
