Jiangg Yao took her older sister to the airport. They knew the routine well, parking the car and heading into the terminal. First, they got the boarding pass and checked the luggage. The whole process took about half an hour. By the time Jiangg Ning had to go through security, the sisters had to say their goodbyes.

Even though she'd repeated herself several times on the way over, Jiangg Ning couldn't help but remind her again, "Remember to eat properly. Now that I won't be home, there's no one to stop you from snacking. Eating too much of that junk is really unhealthy."
"I know, I know."
"If you really don't want to order takeout and eat alone at home, you can go find Chen. I won't get on your case about it. Eating with someone else makes it more of an occasion. I know you—sometimes you think it's too much trouble and just don't bother to eat a proper meal."
