Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

When Gu Chunhai received the notification and rushed over, this was the scene he saw.

His daughter was lying on the hospital bed, seemingly asleep, and beside her, sat a soldier in a straight posture. The soldier’s hand appeared to be tightly held by his daughter.

Gu Chunhai frowned as he walked in.

Yang Yunhai barely managed to pull his hand back from Gu Lingling’s cheek, yet her hand grabbed his again. Yang Yunhai shook his head helplessly.

Looking at those slender little hands clutching his large palm, he didn’t move anymore.

As long as she could sleep peacefully, that was all that mattered.

And the little girl on the hospital bed indeed quieted down.

The corners of Yang Yunhai’s mouth involuntarily rose slightly.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he didn’t pull his hand away, even though he knew the person wasn’t Zhao Yu.

But the little girl finally calmed down with great difficulty.

”Hello, I’m Gu Lingling’s father. Was it you who brought her to the hospital?” Gu Chunhai, although slightly angry seeing the man holding his daughter’s hand, held back and greeted him first.

”Thank you, comrade.” He extended his hand to him, wanting to shake hands.

Perhaps then he would let go of his daughter’s hand.

However, Yang Yunhai didn’t pull his hand away, instead signaling for him to be quiet, ”She’s been restless ever since coming out of the coma. It’s good you’re here.”

After saying that, he motioned for Gu Chunhai to come over and place Gu Lingling’s small hand onto his large palm, ”She can only calm down when someone holds her hand.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Lingling’s brow furrowed, and Gu Chunhai hurriedly grabbed his daughter’s hand.

Seeing her frown deepen, her little mouth pouted as if gravely wronged, about to cry in the next moment.

Gu Chunhai was dumbfounded.

He had never seen his daughter like this.

What should he do now?

He couldn’t help but glance anxiously at Yang Yunhai beside him, then gritted his teeth and placed his daughter’s hand back into Yang Yunhai’s large palm.

Then...

Yang Yunhai was completely taken aback.

What did this mean?

Wasn’t he just giving a cold face earlier?

”What’s... what’s going on with her?” Gu Chunhai asked, his voice filled with pleading.

Gu Chunhai finished work early today and even went to the state-run restaurant to buy Gu Lingling’s favorite meat buns. Yet, as soon as he entered the door, he encountered a small soldier sent by Yang Yunhai to report the news.

Hearing that his daughter was hospitalized again, Gu Chunhai felt he could barely stand upright, hastily following the soldier to the hospital, only to hear from his mouth that she was frozen in the snow.

But the specifics, the soldier himself didn’t know.

”She fell into a big pit on the mountain. When I arrived, she was already frozen and unconscious.” Yang Yunhai explained, somewhat embarrassed, glancing at his hand.

The girl on the bed, who had been frowning in discomfort, suddenly rubbed her little face against his large palm.

Then she revealed a very satisfied, sweet smile.

Yang Yunhai, ”...”

Was he about to adopt a kitten?

Gu Chunhai, ”...”

Is this still his daughter? But at the same time, he felt a bit jealous. Why was his daughter so reliant on a stranger?

Gu Chunhai felt a surge of self-blame and resolved that he must treat his daughter better in the future.

He needed to reclaim his place in Gu Lingling’s heart.

”Why did she go to the mountain?” Gu Chunhai’s gaze darkened upon hearing this.

Could it be that the girl was missing her mom?

There must be something he didn’t know about, otherwise, she wouldn’t so boldly run up the mountain on such a cold day.

Gu Chunhai decided that he must have a good talk with Gu Lingling once she recovered.

Alas... he had to admit his shortcomings!

He should pay more attention to his daughter in the future.
