"Don't think too much. I trust that everything will be alright." Chu Molin assumed that she was reflecting on the things that had upset her, so he comforted her.
"Hmm, things will improve." Qin Xue nodded, yet in her mind, she questioned, will it really get better?
With Chenchen not here, the three of them can never reunion. How is it possible for the things to improve? But she didn't want Chu Molin to worry, so she agreed with him by nodding.
"Come, have a piece of fish." Chu Molin selected a piece of flesh from the fish belly for her, a part of the fish where there were the fewest bones.
Qin Xue loved fish but she had one flaw. Every time she ate fish, she would end up swallowing a bone. So, even if she craved fish, she would only eat the flesh from this bone-free region. Chu Molin learned about this at a later stage and would, therefore, instinctively pick her preferred part when they have fish.
