Bai Xiaolan was fussing about, helping pack up Ji Xiangdong's luggage. This was the first time she would be away from him since their marriage, and it would be for quite a while. Adding the fact that she was pregnant, she felt even more distressed at heart.
Ji Xiangdong sat on the edge of the bed, watching as Bai Xiaolan folded sweaters and placed them in a carry-on bag. She would often take them out again, only to replace them with a thicker one. He suggested, "Just take a thicker sweater. There'll be thinner ones over there. Plus, you won't have to carry them back. Oh, and it snows late in winter over there. My mom said the weather might get chilly again after warming up, so I'll just pack your wool socks."
The usually straightforward Bai Xiaolan was behaving unusually fussily, something she attributed to her pregnancy.
Ji Xiangdong simply smiled, watching her hustle and bustle without interfering. He knew that she was sad and was using busyness to mask her emotions.
