Even though he was unwilling...
Lu Zhanbei sensibly left the room where his son and Gu Qianqian were, but before leaving, he embodied the spirit of a 'best actor' and kissed his son numerous times, touching him repeatedly.
The image of Lu Zhanbei's reluctance to part from his son etched itself deeply into Gu Qianqian's heart.
So, while Lu Zhanbei eventually did leave, Gu Qianqian began to blame herself: Shouldn't she be a little kinder to him? Shouldn't she... let him stay?
However, now that he's gone, thinking about these things is pointless.
But, saying she won't think about it is one thing, and yet whenever she closes her eyes, there's the image of Lu Zhanbei bending over to kiss his son's forehead repeatedly...
Tossing and turning, she unexpectedly found herself unable to sleep.
Her eyes wide open, half watching the moonlight outside the window, lost in thought, suddenly she heard faint footsteps, not in her room, but in... the living room!
