It had been at least 3 days and 3 nights since Dijun had met his son. At first glance of meeting his son, he was quite surprised and shock to find out he was a Father. Deep in his heart was filled with regret how he had failed Xiao Bai and his son many times. Leaving her and his son alone. What was he even thinking in his mind? It had already happened in the past that he had disappointed them. Even if he had wished he could return time to fix it. He knew that he could not return to the past and fix it. 

 But he was now that Bai Gun Gun he would create new and happy memories with his son and his wife. Each day he would spend an appropriate amount of time with his son as his wife was still heavily injured. For the past days, Dijun and Gun Gun had been sitting down in awkwardness. 

However, this morning Dijun was rather distracted with his personal thoughts. As his hand was holding onto the wooden bowl filled with the strongest medicine in the realms. The ladle stirs endlessly into the bitter medicine to mix the last bits in there. Occasionally he would spill tiny droplets of medicine that soak deep into his purple cloak. 

It was when Dijun was interrupted by his thoughts when he felt a sense of eyes peering at the corner of the doorway

It was when Dijun was interrupted by his thoughts when he felt a sense of eyes peering at the corner of the doorway. Placing the medicine down onto the counter to let it cool he looks at the direction to where the mysterious figure was standing. 

"Gun Gun, if you want to come in you can."

The little boy slowly walks into the room after his late-night reading. Still a little tired, it was morning. His hand was then hidden behind his back. And one was to hold his breath from the strong smell of medicine.

Dijun motion his hand to let Gun Gun sits behind him.

"I have some questions." Gun Gun then said.

"You still have more?" Dijun then asked him as he was taking care of his wife. Holding tightly onto her hand. 

"Yes, father lord. You haven't finished answering it. So I still have more." 

It was quite strange how similar Gun Gun was to Dijun. Other than the physical appearance, his mind was parallel to Dijun. But his beauty was said to be gotten it from his Mom. 

"What is it?" He then asked Gun Gun in a calm voice. 

"When is mother going to wake up?" Gun Gun said worriedly as he sat by the bedside to look at his mother unconscious. Though her chest was wavering up and down, her calm face was the same as if she was sleeping. However today, her beauty was more pronounced. 

Staring at his son he held his son's small hand and hugged him tighter in his chest

Staring at his son he held his son's small hand and hugged him tighter in his chest.

"Soon. When she does, we'll be a family. Don't you want that?"

Gun Gun release his father's grip and nodded his head. The past 3 months when he had stationed his stay at Uncle Xia Guchou he had been getting rather odd and strange dreams. 

Although Gun Gun was pleased to find out he has a father, he begins to ask a series of questions as if he didn't trust him fully yet. "Father lord if for some say mother and I turn to a fox suddenly. Who would you pet first?"

"Your mother of course. Someone else can pet you." Dijun then said. "To name a few you have Siming and Zhong Lin who are fond of foxes nowadays."

Gun Gun rolled his eyes and crosses his hand. He pouted his face a little as he turning away from his Father. If only his father had known his fur was not to be touch by anybody except his mother. He only turns to his father for his following questions.

"If a beast attacks us while we're on a picnic per se. Would you save me first or mother?"

Dijun didn't say much in a while before he said.

"I would save your mother first. Your mother uses to say you are cable and strong for your age. You can save yourself."

Gun Gun nodded his head this time. He actually agrees with his father for once.

"If..."

Dijun then looks at his son as if he had just drunk some vinegar.

"Gun Gun, you're asking a lot of what-if questions. Are you questioning my parenting skills?"

Gun Gun looks down at his father and shakes his head. 

"No, father lord."

Dijun then patted his son's head.

"You should learn a thing or two from your uncle A-Li. Run along now."  

Gun Gun look down to his side as he walked with his dead pointing down.

How he had misses his mother's love very much. And had hoped he would wake up soon.

"Gun Gun." Dijun then called out to him. "I love you."

Hearing that he smiles at his father lord. Though it was some simple words, it had meant a lot for him. That he had turned around with a brave smile. 

He turns to his dad and said soft words in his heart.


To conquer the waves, you must be the winds to your ship. To conquer the storm you must be the captain of your ship.

Thank so much for reading the first chapter and I really appreciated it. Ever since the long wait for Eternal Love of Dreams to air for the past 2 years. And watching it this year had been great. But ever since it had ended I hope there was more to it. So, I was hoping to write based on my small imagination to write what would happen next! I'm open to ideas if anyone wants to add in :)
