For her children’s sake, Mrs. Zhuang pretends to be strong. But she finds the house alarmingly quiet due to her husband’s absence.

Will Love In Spring ep 8: Li Xian helps Zhou Yutong’s sister cope with grief
On her way out of the office, Zhuang Jie receives a phone call from her panic-stricken mother. She comes to know that her sister has been missing from the house. Zhuang Jie remembers how much her sister adored her father and probably could not handle the pain of losing him.
Zhuang Jie looks for her sister everywhere but can not find any trace of her. Tired, she goes back to her apartment. To her surprise, Mai Dong knocks at her door, accompanied by Zhuang Jie’s sister, Niaoniao. Mai Dong mentions that he encountered her on the train. Zhuang Jie gets extremely angry and starts to scold Niaoniao.
After she calms down, they sit down for a meal together. When asked what made her run away from home, Niaoniao says that she still feels her father’s presence at home and feels that he wants to take her with him. She is not ready to listen to any explanation.
While Zhuang Jie thinks she is spitting nonsense, Mai Dong intervenes and takes matters into his own hands. He simplifies the whole concept of life and death for Niaoniao and tells her that her father is at peace now. After Niaoniao goes to bed, Zhuang Jie thanks Mai Dong. He asks her to be patient with her sister, as she is still grieving.
Slowly, life starts to get back on track for the Zhuang family. As a closure, they take Mr. He’s ashes to the mountains and bid their final goodbyes. The whole family comes together to scatter his ashes and help him rest in peace.
