40 Minutes Before The Knock…

"What the hell? They're breaking up again?!" 

Xue Ning's family were seated in front of the TV, watching Night Market Lovers. Tai Cheng stabbed an apple slice with a toothpick, angrily chomping on it as he watched the couple on the screen break up for the umpteenth time under a huge rainstorm, due to misunderstandings generated by the main couple's parents. 

"Mom, Dad, can we change the channel? Why are you so invested in this garbage?" Tai Xuan lamented, a hand inching towards the remote control - but his mother swatted his errant hand and hissed at him, as though Tai Xuan suddenly decided to support Mayor Poh's attempts at wooing her.

"This is not garbage, this is quality entertainment. A hallmark of our culture." Yue Niang argued, shooting her son an angry glare. "Youth these days have no taste!"

"How does this show count as having taste?" Tai Xuan whined. "Come on, Ming Guang, support me here."
