Qiao Xia listened to Mu Liang talk about Lu Bai and Xiaojiu's past, feeling heavy-hearted, "They are really pitiful."
Mu Liang tapped her nose, "Everyone has their own tribulations, you can just say that Ah Bai hasn't yet overcome his."
Christmas was coming soon, and City A was especially lively. This year's City A was particularly cold; after a bout of rain, the weather seemed even chillier. Qiao Xia and Xu Ai started visiting markets to prepare for Christmas. Qiao Xia didn't have many friends, so she only invited Meng Qian. Mu Liang called over Gu Xiaowu and some of the Liu family's peers to celebrate Christmas together. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang helped them list out the guests and food. The men were busy all the way till Christmas; Liu Zheng couldn't stand for a long time, so he kept using a wheelchair. Xu Ai and Qiao Xia went out to pick a Christmas tree and gifts.
