"Mother, we should be happy. Seventh is off to do great things." Urged on by a nudge from her husband, Xie Ruyi went over to support Li Cuicui and comfort her.
"I am happy," Li Cuicui said, her voice low. "It's just… he comes and goes so quickly. I don't know how many more times I'll get to see him."
Liu Liu said, "…Let's not say such unlucky things. Besides, Seventh Brother and his wife are filial. Didn't they say before that once he's transferred to Shangjing, they'll bring you over to live a life of comfort?"
