Yu Lili quickly brought Ou Ming to the stall that she used to frequent. When she bought the pancakes, he began to stare at it weirdly.

One look and Yu Lili could tell that the guy was having doubts about the cleanliness and hygiene of the street stall. She shoved the pancake in front of his mouth and remarked, "It's fine. It won't kill you."

Ou Ming took the pancake from her and took a bite.

"How is it?" Yu Lili looked at him. Her eyes were shining with anticipation.

Ou Ming nodded his head. "It's not too bad."

"Right? I find it delicious! Sigh, it's a pity that the Capital is congested everywhere. Even the metros are congested with people. Otherwise, we could try riding on the metro in the Capital." Yu Lili took another bite of her pancake and said, "Let's go. We'll eat in the car."

The husband and wife smiled at each other and rode in the car together to Hongluo Temple. Their goal going there was very clear; it was to pray for a child.

Naturally, they chose the most direct route. Since it was a work day, the roads weren't congested. The trip still took over an hour.

After the car was parked, Yu Lili pulled Ou Ming along as she headed in.

There were many young married couples walking in and out, and there were many old people coming as tourists as well. As one of the most famous attractions in the Capital, the temple was packed, even on a weekday.

Yu Lili brought Ou Ming round the temple to say their prayers before heading inside.

It was May, and the wisteria flowers were in full bloom. The place was overflowing with flora. All the passing tourists had their phones out to take pictures.

When Yu Lili saw how everyone around her was taking pictures, she was influenced as well and began snapping a few shots of her own.

Ou Ming stood to the side caught a glimpse of the pictures she took. He couldn't bear to take another look and closed his eyes in exasperation.

Her photography skills…

When Yu Lili noticed Ou Ming's expression, she was disgruntled. She pulled him over and said, "Let's take some pictures."

Ou Ming entered the frame. As he looked at the filter on the screen, he frowned and asked, "Why is it so pink?"

"Straight men like you won't get it," Yu Lili said. "Come on, smile!"

Ou Ming moved the corners of his mouth as Yu Lili snapped a shot.

Ou Ming and Yu Lili were both were good-looking and especially photogenic. After taking the shot, she scrutinized it and said, "It's so nice! What a handsome couple we make. Hey, Hubby, do think anyone would envy me if I were to post this online?"

Ou Ming knew that Yu Lili never had much interest in updating her social media account. Occasionally, whenever he stumbled onto her account and profile, there were always many "likes" and comments.

He paused to think and replied, "Probably."

"I'm posting it." Yu Lili posted the photo and added the caption: <A day trip with my husband to Hongluo Temple!>

Immediately after the photo was uploaded, someone "liked" it.

Yu Lili was giddy with excitement and exclaimed, "Look how popular I am!"

She tapped her profile picture and did a quick sweep of her news feed. Her last post had been last year. It was a selfie taken in an elegant French restaurant. Her hair was short, and her smile was dazzling.

The caption was simple: <New hairstyle and a rare good meal. I'm so happy!>

This had been posted last year, when she was preparing to commit suicide. She hadn't posted anything new after that.

Yu Lili's heart stopped for a moment. She quickly relaxed and began to smile. Back then, she had never imagined that she would marry Ou Ming, find her father, and one day have a family of her own.

All the misfortunes were now behind her, and everything was only going to get better.
