I don't care about dating reality shows or the entertainment industry!

More than 20 years later, Su Youzi finally met her father, but they were separated by a cold stone tablet.

Her eyes stung slightly, and she slowly knelt down, with Duan Xingye kneeling beside her.

Their foreheads touched the cold ground.

“Dad…” Su Youzi choked out in a low voice, “I’m sorry I’m late.”

She looked up at the photo on the tombstone, a faint smile on her lips.

Dad, I'm doing well, you don't need to worry about me.

The man next to me is my husband. Isn't he handsome? He treats me very well, we love each other very much, and I will definitely be very happy, so don't worry.

I will live a good life and live up to your expectations.

After paying their respects, Su Youzi and Duan Xingye stood up and stood side by side in front of the tombstone, gazing silently at the man in the photograph.

Father-in-law, thank you.

Thank you for giving Yuzi life, and thank you even more for bringing such a wonderful girl into my world.

Rest assured, I will love her with my life, protect her, and make her happy forever.

Sunlight streamed down, illuminating the tombstone, and even the wind seemed to soften.

"Dad, we're leaving," Su Youzi waved to the tombstone, "We'll come to see you again next time."

The group left the cemetery.

Ning Zhi turned her gaze to Su Youzi, her eyes still a little red, with a gentle smile on her face.

"Yuzu, Mom wants to take you for a walk around Midtown."

Su Youzi obediently replied, "Okay."

Duan Xingye walked to Su Youzi's side and gently put his arm around her shoulder.

Charlene frowned slightly, patted the back of his hand, somewhat speechless, and pulled him away.

Duan Xingye looked confused. "Mom, what's wrong? I need to stay with Youzi."

"Why are you trying to keep them company? It's not easy for mother and daughter to reunite, why are you meddling?" Xia Lin rolled her eyes. "Give them some space, let's go home first."

Duan Xingye was helplessly pulled away, and turned back to shout at Su Youzi, "Make a phone call."

Su Youzi smiled and waved, watching them leave.

Ning Zhi carefully took her hand.

Su Youzi's heart trembled slightly, and her eyes immediately reddened.

Ningzhi said, "I'll take you somewhere."

Su Youzi held her hand tightly, absorbing the warmth she had once lacked.

"it is good."

The streets of Midtown are filled with the marks of time.

The buildings on both sides are mostly old buildings that have been around for a long time, giving them a unique charm.

Ning Zhi led Su Youzi into a small alley.

The alley is not deep and is very quiet.

A small dessert shop is hidden in this alley.

The shop is small and simply decorated, with a vintage feel.

There weren't many people; a few guests were sitting around, chatting quietly.

A few simple wooden tables and chairs are set up, and some old photos hang on the wall, recording the history of this shop.

The two found a seat by the window and sat down. Ningzhi picked up the menu.

"Two bowls of double-skin milk, please."

"Okay!" the old lady replied warmly.

“This shop has been open for many years. When your dad and I lived in Midtown, we used to come here often,” Ning Zhi said, her eyes filled with sweet memories.

"I really like the double-skin milk here, but I was pregnant at the time, and he only allowed me to have a few bites to satisfy my craving."

As she spoke, she smiled gently, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes also showing a hint of amusement.

Su Youzi seemed to see her parents when they were young.

In this little dessert shop, we sweetly shared the same bowl of double-skin milk pudding.

The old lady served two bowls of double-skin milk.

The skin is milky white, delicate, and smooth.

Su Youzi scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth. It melted in her mouth, with a smooth texture and a rich milky flavor.

"Is it delicious?" Ning Zhi looked at Su Youzi with loving eyes.

Su Youzi nodded, her eyes welling up with tears again. "Delicious."

Ning Zhi looked at her, a gentle smile spreading across her lips, her eyes brimming with the joy of something lost and found again.

After more than 20 years, she was finally able to watch her daughter with her own eyes and enjoy this simple happiness.

She picked up her spoon but hesitated to put it in her mouth.

She just quietly watched her daughter, never getting enough of looking at her.

She put down her spoon, reached out and touched her daughter's hair, her eyes moist with guilt.

"I'm sorry, it's because Mom didn't protect you well, making your past twenty-odd years so difficult."

Su Youzi smiled at her.

"Actually, it wasn't too difficult. I spent most of my childhood filming on set, and everyone took good care of me. Besides, I have a long life ahead of me, and the future looks bright."

“Yes, from now on, it will all be good days.” Ning Zhi smiled, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes gradually smoothed out.

After finishing their double-skin milk pudding, Ning Zhi led Su Youzi out of the shop.

"Come on, Mom will take you somewhere else."

They arrived in front of a three-story villa.

The building's exterior walls are somewhat mottled, but they are clearly well-maintained and exude a rustic charm.

Ning Zhi took a key out of her bag and opened the somewhat rusty iron gate.

"Squeak-"

A sound.

As Su Youzi walked into the courtyard, she saw that it was full of various flowers and plants, which were still vibrant despite it being winter.

“This is your father’s ancestral home. It’s well-maintained, and I come to stay for a couple of days every now and then,” Ning Zhi explained.

The old house is decorated in a typical 1990s style.

The wooden floors and antique furniture are all well-preserved.

There is a photo hanging on the wall.

In the photo, He Ling is embracing Ning Zhi, who is heavily pregnant, and the two are smiling sweetly.

Looking at the photo, Su Youzi felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears.

Ning Zhi followed her gaze, and her eyes softened.

“Your father’s family immigrated to the United States a long time ago. This house was built by someone he hired in the 1990s. We have lived here since we returned to China.”

Ningzhi pulled her to a set of mahogany sofas.

She gently patted the sofa cushion, gesturing for Su Youzi to sit down.

Su Youzi sat down next to her and took out an old photo album from under the coffee table.

The album cover is worn, showing that it has been frequently looked at.

She slowly opened the photo album and turned to the first page.

“Your dad is very handsome, isn’t he?” Ning Zhi pointed to the man in the photo, her tone tinged with pride.

The man in the photo has distinct eyebrows and eyes, handsome features, and a gentle smile on his lips.

Su Youzi's eyes were red, and she nodded gently.

"Yeah, very handsome."

Ning Zhi smiled and looked at Su Youzi: "In this respect, you're just like me, a sucker for good looks."

Su Youzi smiled through her tears, "Yes."

She flipped through the old photos page by page.

The photos are all of Ning Zhi and He Ling together.

Some were at the beach, some in the park, some cooking at home...

Each photo records their past sweetness and happiness.

Looking at these photos, Su Youzi felt as if she had returned to the era when they fell in love.

She could feel the deep love between her parents in the photo.

“This is you when I was six months pregnant,” Ning Zhi said proudly, pointing to the ultrasound image. “The doctor said this baby is exceptionally beautiful.”
