My Two Cents
I wondered, why did Xu Lai’s wedding dress still in a clean state after she wore it on a live report. And Jin Shi Chuan’s shirt was as crisp as new. What sort of magic did they do? 😝
I love that this story ended happily for everyone. It was too bad that the dog was nowhere to be found at the wedding. I was expecting a pack of dogs at the wedding. It would make a marvelous sight. What do you think, dear readers? Did my idea feasible? 😁
