In the end, he still couldn’t resist missing his wife. Even though they chatted via video every day, Lu An couldn’t help but recall the time when they were separated against their will.

“Niannian, you haven’t seen the maple leaves of Canada, have you?” Lu An’s eyes were slightly red, and he seemed somewhat melancholic.

Jin Nian nodded. “No, I haven’t. What’s wrong?”

“I miss you. 1 don’t want to be away from your side for even a minute in the future.”

“Why are you so clingy after having some drinks?” Jin Nian’s voice was soft as she responded, “I miss you too.”

“I’ll be back tomorrow.” Lu An smiled.

“Is that true?”

“It’s true.”

“Don’t lie to me!”

“I’ve never lied to you. Back when you were in your first year of university, you said you wanted to come up north to see the snow. Did you lie to me?”

“Of course not.”

“Since the day you said you wanted to come find me, I’ve been looking forward to it.”

In the first semester of my freshman year, it was the snowy season in the north. The entire sky was a vast expanse of white, becoming the most beautiful scene of the northern region. The cold snow, carried along by the air’s chill, came sweeping in.

Jin Nian inadvertently mentioned that she wanted to go play in the snow with him. Lu An immediately bought her a plane ticket, even saying that he would pick her up from the airport.

However, due to the heavy snow, the flights were canceled, and Jin Nian couldn’t make it.

Jin Nian defensively responded, “It was because of the weather. It’s not like I wanted it to happen.”

“If there weren’t so many twists of fate, perhaps we might have had a different outcome.”

What Jin Nian recalled was that if she hadn’t impulsively gotten married to Lu An after breaking off the engagement, they might still be in a relationship of sending each other text messages during holidays.

However, Lu An’s thoughts were filled with “what ifs”. If they hadn’t missed each other for so long, would they already be together?

“Perhaps.”

“I want to hug you.”

“Then come back earlier so you can hug me as much as you want.”

“Alright.”

When he returned to Canada this time, time had passed and Lu An’s mentality was different from before.

Now that he had something to worry about in the country, even if the atmosphere with his old friends was good, he would not get himself drunk like before. There was always a thread in his mind, reminding him that if he got too intoxicated, Jin Nian would be upset.

Thinking about Jin Nian waiting for him at home, his heart became tender in an uncharacteristic way. She had become a safe harbor, a lighthouse in the vast sea.

The weather in California was warmer than in Binhai city, with the sun shining brightly. Lu An drove to Hollywood Boulevard and casually took a picture, then uploaded it to Instagram.

In the days following Lu An’s business trip, Jin Nian was too lazy to cook at home and ended up going over to Teacher Tan’s place to have meals every day.

In the past, she was used to eating and sleeping alone, but with Lu An’s sudden entrance into her life, she couldn’t tolerate that loneliness anymore. It was rather strange.

Seeing her, Teacher Tan was naturally delighted, but she couldn’t help but tease, “Oh, where did the sunshine come from today? Do you have time to visit us?”

“Mom, I want to eat that orange.” Jin Nian kicked off her slippers, then slumped onto the sofa like a pile of mush, her posture utterly relaxed.

In front of Teacher Tan, she could always act like a child.

“That’s a grapefruit,” Teacher Tan corrected and asked Old Jin to peel the grapefruit.

“Whatever it is, as long as it’s sour, it’s fine. Let’s stimulate my appetites before eating.” Jin Nian didn’t even bother getting up, just lying there waiting for the peeled fruit to be delivered to her mouth.

Ever since Jin Nian confessed everything to her family, Teacher Tan had been deeply concerned about the progress between her and Lu An. She thought that they had just started dating. Marriage could wait.

During this time, the relatives were also inquiring about Jin Nian’s love life. Everyone had witnessed her public breakup, so they all secretly understood that it might be difficult for Jin Nian to get married in the future.

Because of this, Teacher Tan argued with those people several times. “My daughter isn’t lacking in any aspect. She’s both beautiful and capable. Why worry about her marriage? Moreover, even if she never marries, I’m more than capable of taking care of her for the rest of her life. There’s no need for everyone to worry.”

Upon hearing this, everyone thought that Teacher Tan was being stubborn.

Having a lot of relatives at home had its downsides. Everyone would always gather and discuss various matters, both significant and trivial.

Since Jin Nian rarely returned home, Teacher Tan couldn’t resist asking, “Why didn’t you bring Lu An home for dinner? Are the two of you getting along well?”

“We’re doing fine.” Jin Nian, while eating her grapefruit, said somewhat petulantly, “Lu An is away on business. He initially said he’d be back in a week, but then he said it’ll take ten days.”

Teacher Tan narrowed her eyes, getting the impression that the two of them were living together.

“Um, you’re still young. You need to pay more attention to life’s various aspects.” Teacher Tan’s advice was subtle.

“Are you worried 1 might get pregnant?”

Teacher Tan pinched her arm, slightly exasperated.. “Can’t you act a bit more like a young girl?”
