A lingering argument from last night carried into the morning, but a second attempt at talking helped Xiaoyan and me clear the air. I realized my delay in installing a shelf had dampened her enthusiasm, and I apologized sincerely.

Later, we went to Mayday’s 5525 concert at the Bird’s Nest—our third time seeing them, but with less excitement this year as Hamer wasn’t with us. The setlist was familiar, with a new “BabyBus” segment. I only truly got into it after the first encore, singing until my voice went hoarse, while Xiaoyan kept a “hotgirl” style.

New songs learned from concert:
