Christmas, also Nan Qing's birthday.
A week before, Fu Han had already started the preparations, and she had specifically told Nan Qing in advance not to go back to her parents' house for her birthday this year, but to bring her parents over so everyone could celebrate together.
The day finally arrived, and Fu Han went early to the venue where the birthday dinner was to be held to make the last preparations. She had expressly warned Nan Qing not to come early, or she would be upset.
It gets dark early in winter, and after Fu Han went through all the procedures one last time, she went to change her clothes.
For the dinner banquet, one must wear an evening dress. She didn't care much herself, but she couldn't shame Nan Qing.
At the agreed time, Nan Qing arrived punctually. She looked around the banquet hall inside and out, feeling very touched, even close to tears.
