Chu Qing had no answer to this question, and no one could provide him with one. Frustrated, he found himself complaining about this cursed world day after day. As a result of this delay, by the time Chu Qing returned home, it was already well past dinner time.
He pushed open the door. His father was clearing away the leftovers from the dining table. His mother was sitting on the sofa, talking to an overweight woman who weighed two hundred pounds.
Chu Qing's sudden arrival disrupted the previously peaceful atmosphere, causing an abrupt chill to descend. His father's expression instantly shifted, caught off guard by Chu Qing's return. He hadn't anticipated Chu Qing coming back so soon. Hadn't he explicitly instructed Chu Qing to lay low and remain outside for the next few days?
