The good thing is that eventually you'll find your little group of people that think of you and surprise you with thoughtful presents 🫂

Also remember that being like this is a great thing, the world is better with people who care. We just need not to burn ourselves out.

Love you, Lexi 💕

His mum just came to check if everything was alright and brought me dinner and some bandages 🥺🥺🥺

Kudos to my sweet 9 year old neighbor who always plays with my doggos and chats with me when I take them on walks.

He helped me get back up and offered to walk me home because I was in pain. I have a first aid kid but he also offered to get me medicine or supplies 🥺

Sometimes the manufactured cheer of the season hits harder for people like us and makes us impulsive, so try to write down your ideas for gifts and auto-gifts and make a more structured plan. Sometimes the presentation turns a simple gift into something truly memorable, and it's doable on a budget.

I suggest you pace yourself and do handmade stuff whenever possible (the right people will appreciate it, and you don't overspend on people who won't truly value the gift).

Treat yourself to one big auto-gift that no one else would think of, and limit the rest of little indulgences.

I used to be like that but realized that many people don't appreciate how such gestures are so important when you don't have a lot of money. I also liked to give thoughtful gifts to *everyone* but later realized that it originated from never receiving many gifts really cratered to my preferences

In the end, the flower arrangements and other stuff they had booked for the funeral end up being used in the wedding because this is Wangxian and they have no restraint.

JC decides to recycle his funeral speech too because it was all about roasting his brother anyway.

(Just picturing WWX arriving at a solemm and proper funeral home with a bright smile and proclaiming he wants to put the FUN in funeral, and LWJ being kicked in the chest by his sunny and playful disposition)

The treatment actually works, saving his life.

LWJ almost cries when WWX tells him he's cancelling his funeral because he's actually going to live.

He fell for WWX since he arrived at the funeral home asking for help planning his own funeral, and had been despairing about it.

He keeps planning his funeral because he wants to spend time with LWJ, but secretly he also makes arrangements for a consultation with renowned doctor WQ.

Turns out he had helped WQ's brother years ago, and she repays the favor by getting him a place in a clinical trial.

WWX isn't interested in seeking treatments, thinking it'd be ridiculous to make his adoptive family waste money on something unlikely to work. So he makes a lot of excuses and tells them all that he's not a candidate for any treatment.

But after meeting LWJ, he decides to try.
