Chapter 576: Chapter 577: You Lift Me Up

Chen Jianjun’s mouth twitched into a goofy smile, as he exclaimed, "Daddy loves you too!"

Only in front of Guibao would this tough guy ever say such mushy, cringy words.

But she is his precious little girl!

Having said this, he turned his gaze to Gu Tingyun, his smile fading into seriousness, "Kid, I’m entrusting my daughter to you. You must protect her well and bring her back home safe and sound."

"I will!" vowed Gu Tingyun, with a solemn nod.

He was determined to protect Guibao!

Listening to this exchange between the man and the little boy, a young man standing at the car door couldn’t help but chuckle.

If the kids weren’t so small, he’d have thought this was a wedding ceremony.

Those who purchased sleeper train tickets were scarce, and the few who chatted did so in hushed whispers. Thus, his laughter stood out quite a bit.

Upon hearing this, the pair turned to look at him, and the laughing hipster quickly explained, "Sorry, my laugh trigger is a bit sensitive."

Gu Tingyun simply averted his gaze.

Chen Jianjun nodded, "No worries."

"Woo~~~~~"

The train whistle blew, signaling to those bidding farewell that it was about to depart.

"Guibao, Daddy’s going to leave now. Once you get to the Gu Family, remember to call to let me know you’ve arrived safe and sound!" Chen Jianjun advised.

Since their first research breakthrough, their radio factory had received considerable funding and had installed a telephone.

With these words, he stood up to exit the train.

The youth finally got a good look at Helian Qiao’s face that was hidden until now. He was instantly captivated, completely taken aback.

He had never before seen such a stunning girl!

Gu Tingyun noticed this immediately and stood up to block his view.

The young man, just under five and a half feet tall had his view completely blocked:......

What are these kids eating these days? They’re growing so tall!

Next, he heard Helian Qiao speak, "Mmm-mmm, I got it, Daddy, goodbye!"

Her soft, mewling voice instantly pulled him back from his captivation.

Alas! No matter how pretty, she’s still just a kid.

He found his peace of mind in this thought.

Chen Jianjun got off the train and stood on the platform.

Helian Qiao poked her head out of the window and waved, "Daddy, I’ll be back in a few days!"

"Okay, Daddy will be waiting for you at home." Chen Jianjun watched his little girl, his eyes filled with warm adoration.

The train whistled twice more, and the wheels began to turn slowly.

Chen Jianjun followed the moving train for several steps, joy fading from his face, replaced by a reluctant acceptance.

Children grow up, and sooner or later, they will leave their parents.

His little girl, so exceptional and brilliant, couldn’t be confined to a small place like Sanyang Town.

He only turned to leave the platform once the train had completely pulled out of the station.

On the train in the sleeper compartment.

Gu Tingyun took the bed sheet and quilt cover he had prepared out of his canvas bag, "Guibao, stand up, I am going to change the bedding."

There are many people on the train, and many have slept or sat on this bed before them.

He could accept discomfort when necessary, but he couldn’t accept Guibao using a blanket that so many others had used.

"But I just laid down!" Helian Qiao pouted a little, showing her reluctance on her face.

Gu Tingyun coaxed softly, "Be a good girl, Guibao, it’ll be done soon."

Helian Qiao knew he was a clean freak, so she reached out a delicate little hand towards him, "Then you help me up."
