Thinking of all this, Wen Xian couldn't help but feel a headache.
It wasn't that she was afraid of hardship, but that going abroad felt like moving even further away from Lu Xiao.
She now felt increasingly dependent on him, and the thought of parting with him again soon made her heart sour.
But then, who made her choose Captain Lu, who worked in the west...
In life, oftentimes, you can't have it all.
So, thinking about it, she cherished every moment she had now.
...
Chinese New Year's Eve was about spending time together as a group.
Wen Xian and Little Jin Zhu followed Mom in learning how to make dumplings, but Wen Xian's dumplings either leaked stuffing or were oddly shaped, she ultimately let go and carefully wrapped tiny dumplings with small pieces of dough.
Mom disapproved strongly, redoing many that leaked stuffing and jokingly chided, "How can you eat them if they're like this?"
