That day, the two of them didn't watch television. Instead, they went into their bedroom and took out a family photo album. They flipped to the first page which had a yellowed old photograph. On the photograph, a little girl was crawling on the ground, her big eyes looking at the world with wonder as she smiled delightfully.
Flipping towards the back, the couple, which had been speaking and laughing in the beginning, slowly felt their hearts turn heavy as they saw their daughter grow up. They began to turn quieter and quieter until their bodies were completely silent.
Finally, Bi Ruxin threw herself into Chen Danian's arms and cried.
"Alright, don't cry. You're the one always telling me that our daughter is an adult now and needs to form a family of her own. Now that she finally is forming a family of her own, why are you crying even more tragically than me?" Chen Danian said.
Bi Ruxin said, "Can't I cry a little now that she's married?"
"Okay, okay. Cry, go ahead and cry…" Chen Danian patted Bi Ruxin on the back as his eyes turned red as well.
At this moment, they heard footsteps outside the door and a familiar voice. Without even opening the door, they knew that it was their darling daughter!
Indeed, the moment the door opened, Chen Yingying walked in.
"Why are you here?" the two asked in unison.
Chen Yingying smiled. "I knew the two of you would be hiding in the room crying. Why? Miss me already?"
"Don't change the topic. Tell me, are you abandoning your marriage?" Bi Ruxin asked.
Chen Yingying smiled. "We've held the wedding and have collected our marriage certificate, so what do you mean I'm abandoning my marriage? I'm just here to look at two big kids. Besides, I'm here to tell you something. Hey, Mom, why are you still crying?"
Bi Ruxin said, "Can't I cry? I've watched you grow up, saw you learn how to smile, turn around, crawl, walk, call Daddy and Mommy… Tell me, why does time pass so fast? Suddenly, one day… Some man appears to take you away. It's fine when you were still around, but now that you're really gone, my heart… feels like it's gone too."
Upon saying that, Bi Ruxin burst into tears again while she said, "But Mom won't stop you. A daughter has to get married when she's old. Otherwise, Mom would only feel more worried if you just stayed at home."
Chen Yingying burst out into laughter. "Yet you are acting this way!"
Bi Ruxin said, "It came too suddenly. I mentally prepared myself for a long time, but I never expected I wouldn't be able to take it when the day finally came."
"Mom, Dad, I haven't left. We didn't consummate our marriage yet either. We just went to take a look at houses in the afternoon. Lu Yi and I will be buying a house in this estate, so we will just be a few steps away… You might miss me when I leave, but I will also miss the two of you. I still want to eat the meals you make. Dad, why is your face so tense? Smile if you want to. I won't stop you," Chen Yingying said with a laugh.
Indeed, Chen Danian and Bi Ruxin laughed the moment they heard that. It was truly a joyous matter that their daughter wasn't moving far.
"Silly girl. You are already married, so how can you keep thinking of your family so much? What about Little Lu's family? Are you ignoring them?" However, Chen Danian still berated her hypocritically.
Chen Yingying smiled. "His family comes from a farming village. He plans to buy two houses and bring his family over. When the time comes, we will all be together, and it will be lively."
"Really?" Chen Danian and Bi Ruxin asked.
"Yeah," Chen Yingying said.
"That's good. Haha! Where's that punk, Lu Yi? I'm going to have drinks with him!"

On Mt. One Finger, just as Fangzheng pushed open the door to One Finger Monastery, he heard the notification from the System.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have helped another family," said the System.
Fangzheng said, "System, I really paid through the nose this time. Why didn't you mention I have a chance at the draw yet?"
"Although you helped one person, he would have been able to walk sooner or later even without your help judging his character. Therefore, the merit you earned isn't enough for a draw," the System said.
Fangzheng was left stunned. But on second thought, he wouldn't have drawn even if he had been given a chance. Since it was going to be saved up anyway, he didn't mind.
After entering the monastery, Lone Wolf carried Squirrel as they charged to the kitchen with Red Boy following closely behind. Monkey glanced at Fangzheng and seeing that he wasn't stopping them, he shouted. "Wait for me!" He then immediately ran over.
Only Salted Fish slowly followed behind Fangzheng, puzzling him. Had this Salted Fish changed his nature? Hence Fangzheng asked, "Aren't you going?"
Salted Fish held onto his walking stick and looked up with a look of solemnity. "Sigh, what for? They are members of the monastery. It's fine if they eat and take it. I'm an outsider, so how can I beat them when it comes to snatching food?"
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and patted him on the head. "Reasonable. Then, stay here and feel the cold wind blow."
With that said, Fangzheng walked away.
This left Salted Fish stunned in his spot before he snapped to his senses. He threw the walking stick to the ground and cried. "Monk, don't you have an iota of pity? Don't you know what it means to love the elderly? Don't you know what a compromise is? Don't you know…"
"What were you saying?" Fangzheng suddenly poked his head out and asked.
Salted Fish said, "Don't you know that it will be snowing tomorrow?"
Fangzheng looked at the sky, and it was clear for miles.
Salted Fish blushed as he said, "I'm talking about tomorrow."
Fangzheng nodded and said, "Got it. However, don't you know that they are eating? Any longer, and there will be nothing left."
Fangzheng retracted his head after he said that.
Salted Fish originally planned on returning to the Heavenly Dragon Pond to rest, but once he heard Fangzheng, his eyes lit up. He joyfully charged to the kitchen and yelled, "All of you, hold your mouths! Let an ancestor like me have a bite!"
Following that, there was a rowdy, chaotic, and joyous furor inside the kitchen.
Fangzheng laughed in bliss when he heard this.
Deep into the night, the weather turned cold. The northwestern wind blew, seemingly causing the land to shiver.
That day, Fangzheng suffered from insomnia. Upon seeing Chen Danian do all he had done for his daughter, Chen Yingying, from a young age, Fangzheng felt extremely envious of her. The feeling of having parents was really different. At the same time, he also began to miss Zen Master One Finger.
He climbed to the rooftop and lay down on the roof which was covered in snow. He imprinted his body in the snow as he dozed off while looking at the stars in the sky.
At that moment, he felt a warmth by his ears as a furry little guy came to Fangzheng's side and curled by his face. It was none other than Squirrel.
"Master, what are you looking at? Why aren't you sleeping? You are usually snoring at this time," Squirrel asked with concern.
Seeing Squirrel's pure and concerned eyes, Fangzheng ruffled his head and said, "Nothing much. I couldn't sleep, so I came to look at the stars."
"Master, what's so nice about the stars? When I attain more powerful divine powers, I'll take you into the sky to look at them." It was unknown when Red Boy had arrived, but he was holding a silver scarf in his hand… As he spoke, Red Boy yanked at it, causing a huge white dog to be pulled up to the roof. So it hadn't been a silver scarf, but Lone Wolf's tail.
