The same morning, Xiao Min's home.
"Where is Xiao Min?" Xiao Dong asked as he sat in the chair around the dining table.
His wife, who got quite better after her surgery, replied, "He didn't come out of his room. Must be sleeping."
"I will get him," said Xiao Dong, but his wife stopped him.
"I think something is not right with him," she said.
Xiao Dong knew his wife was right but tried to deny it, "What can be wrong? His boss is injured, so he must be tired with lots of work he has to do alone."
"He had this much work so many times, but this time I am sure he is going through something, and we are not aware of it. He is not even eating enough these days," the woman insisted.
"You are overthinking," saying Xiao Dong stood up, and just then, Xiao Min came downstairs from his room.
"Good morning, son," said the woman as she smiled lightly.
"Morning, mother," Xiao Min greeted and stepped towards the door of his home.
