Ming Mei made a determined effort to forget and to start over.
Staying at home and nurturing her unborn child, the bond she shared with Kang Chen has even strengthened, despite what happened.
Previously, in front of the elderly folks, Ming Mei restrained herself, feeling shy about displaying affection.
Now, the things she had dared not to say before, she can now speak freely, even engaging in affectionate gestures.
After dinner in the evening, Kang Chen would accompany Ming Mei to watch a bit of television.
Ming Mei didn't want to watch soap operas, believing that they were not good for prenatal influence. She feared that the baby would end up dim-witted if they were exposed to such shows.
It would be better to watch some relatively classier news broadcasts.
Kang Chen, pointing at politicians on the TV, would inform Ming Mei who they were, what they were like privately, their potential scandals, whether they had embezzled funds, and if they had illegitimate lovers.
