In the quiet days after Mei's visit, Wen and Kai found themselves reminiscing about the early days of their journey together. They looked back at photos, shared memories, and remembered the challenges they'd faced—the uncertainties, the sacrifices, and the relentless pursuit of their dreams.
One evening, as they looked through an old scrapbook filled with memories, Wen smiled, her voice filled with nostalgia. "Remember our first tiny apartment in the city? We barely had any furniture, just two chairs and that creaky table."
Kai laughed, his eyes bright with the memory. "I remember. We were so focused on making it in Shanghai that we didn't realize how little we had. But those were some of the happiest days of my life, just you, me, and the promise of the future."
They reflected on how far they had come, realizing that each step had been part of a journey that led them to the life they had now. The sacrifices they'd made, the long nights, the moments of doubt—each one had contributed to the legacy they were building together.
Their reflections filled them with gratitude, a recognition that their journey had been as much about growth and resilience as it was about love. They knew that they had created a life that would leave an impact, a foundation upon which Mei could build her own story.
