December 26th
Seemingly playing a prank, Mother Nature held off the snow on Christmas the 25th, and only started showering snowflakes on the afternoon of the 26th. The snowflakes were fluffy and fell slowly, graciously giving the vehicles on the roads of Jiangqi City time to get home.
At her apartment, Yu Ting stood before the panoramic window wearing thick clothing, engrossed in the snow-covered landscape outside. She was donned in a cream-colored, heavy quilted jacket, and sipped from a cup of ginger soup, as the indoor heater ran warmly.
The quilted jacket was custom-made. Now six months into her pregnancy, Yu Ting's belly had grown larger than a basketball, making it inconvenient and uncomfortable to bend over or stand for long periods due to varied back and leg aches.
