The time they had missed started to quietly melt away in that moment. In just one night, it felt like their bond had gone back to how it was when she was little.

Yu Qianxia felt that familiar warmth of family again—it was a full, comforting kind of happiness.

After dinner, Yu Guangyi suddenly pulled out a big box from who-knows-where.

He handed it to Yu Qianxia. "Xiaxia, I was always so busy before that I never gave you a proper birthday gift. This is something I prepared—it's birthday presents, from when you turned twelve up to now. I hope you like it."

As he said that, his expression grew a little awkward, like he was scared she wouldn't like it or think it wasn't enough.

He wanted to make it up to her. He wanted to take responsibility for the time he'd missed.

He looked clumsy, but he was trying so hard—and that made him more real and unforgettable than any moment she could remember.

Yu Qianxia took the big box, her eyes going blurry for a second. Her voice came out a little rough.

"Thanks, Dad. I really love it."

The fifth episode wrapped that same night.

The voting platform for this episode opened up too, but there wouldn't be any eliminations, because the votes for the last three episodes would all be added up for the final ranking.

Yu Qianxia was still in first place.

Second and third were Si Churao and Ji Hanming.

Fourth was Shan Xingyou, who had come out of nowhere.

Fifth and sixth were Ye Yanshuang and Lin Yu.

After the fifth episode, Yu Qianxia didn't go back to A City. She stayed home the whole time.

Three days later, the location for the final episode was announced: G City, near the capital.

Yu Qianxia packed her things, and Yu Guangyi personally drove her there.

"Did you bring everything? Are you missing anything?"

On the road, Yu Guangyi asked all sorts of questions with concern, and Yu Qianxia patiently answered every one.

"I packed everything. Don't worry. If I forget anything, I'll call you."

Yu Guangyi nodded with a smile. "Alright, alright."

When they arrived in G City, he took her luggage out of the trunk.

This time, the hotel was arranged by the show, and all the guests would be staying together.

Yu Guangyi, acting like he was sending his kid off to college for the first time, insisted on carrying her luggage all the way to her room.

Yu Qianxia looked a little helpless, but she didn't want to turn him down. The two of them got the room key from the front desk and headed up in the elevator.

As they walked down the hallway, they ran into Shan Xingyou.

"Xiaxia, you're here." Shan Xingyou's face lit up when he saw her. He quickly walked over and called out enthusiastically, "Uncle Yu."

"I'll help you with your luggage."

Yu Guangyi dodged Shan Xingyou's reaching hand, his expression turning back to its usual stern look. "No need. We've got it."

Shan Xingyou didn't seem to mind. He instinctively tried to follow them into the room, but Yu Guangyi blocked his way.

"You young people have a lot to deal with. Xiaxia doesn't need you to take care of her."

Shan Xingyou opened his mouth but ended up just scratching his head awkwardly. "Oh, okay then."

Yu Guangyi closed the door and let out a quiet snort in his heart. Don't think he couldn't tell what that kid was thinking.

Skinny arms and legs like that—how's he good enough for his daughter?

After setting the suitcase down, Yu Guangyi even pulled out his phone and downloaded an app to check if there were any hidden illegal cameras in the room.

Yu Qianxia didn't stop him. She just watched as he busied himself. Finally, he looked satisfied and relieved.

"Alright, Xiaxia, you can stay here with peace of mind."

Yu Qianxia nodded, her lips curled in a smile. "Mm-hmm, okay."

"Then I'll head out now. After you finish recording, make sure to come home. I'll be waiting for you," Yu Guangyi said, looking at her with a reluctant gaze.

Yu Qianxia suddenly stepped forward and hugged him. "Got it, Dad."

A big smile spread across Yu Guangyi's face, his heart full and warm.

After seeing him out, Yu Qianxia's eyes unexpectedly landed on another figure in the hallway.

That tall silhouette was walking toward her. Yu Muqiu was holding a bag in his hand as he approached. He called out, "Uncle."

Yu Guangyi nodded. "Muqiu, you're here too?"

Yu Muqiu glanced at Yu Qianxia and blinked slightly. "I had work in G City."

"And I brought some snacks for Yu Qianxia. Grandma made them."

Yu Muqiu had always been calm and steady, which made Yu Guangyi trust him. "Alright then, you two go ahead and chat."

With that, Yu Guangyi left.

Yu Muqiu handed her the bag. "Grandma's been learning to bake lately. These are her new peach pastries."

Yu Qianxia took it. "Thanks. Tell Grandma thank you from me."

Yu Muqiu gave a soft "Mm."

He didn't leave right away, which made Yu Qianxia glance at him curiously.

"The production crew just called us to gather. I'm heading to the lobby," Yu Qianxia said.

Yu Muqiu nodded again and stepped into the elevator with her.

Yu Qianxia didn't think much of it. She figured he was going downstairs too.

But once they reached the lobby, the show's cameras were already aimed at them. Yu Muqiu didn't shy away. He walked right into the livestream shot.

Right then, Director Qian rushed up like a bootlicker. "President Yu, you're here."

Yu Muqiu's expression didn't change. He just gave a small nod. Director Qian announced loudly, "Let's all welcome our special guest for this episode—Yu Muqiu! He's also our sponsor for this round. Welcome aboard!"

A faint flicker of surprise flashed in Yu Qianxia's eyes.

All the guests were already present. Si Churao and Ji Hanming clapped hard to show their excitement, while Ye Yanshuang and Lin Yu gave a small respectful bow to Yu Muqiu to show their welcome.

Only Shan Xingyou's face darkened. His fingers clenched for a second.

"Why'd you suddenly decide to join a variety show?" Yu Qianxia lowered her voice and asked the man standing beside her in a whisper.

As far as she remembered, Yu Muqiu had never joined a variety show since entering the industry. People always said he didn't like them and was only focused on acting.

Yu Muqiu turned his eyes to her and lowered his voice as well. "Just felt like it."
