Eighteen years ago,
The evenings in the downtown market in the Jing city was always busy with people who are going home on work. It is the time when most of the restaurants in the market get most of the customers. In one of the restaurants, Mei Rong and Li Qin were busy with serving and clearing the tables which have used by the customers. Even though Li Qin didn't have a moment rest, she repeatedly looked at the clock kept in the wall.
"Is everything alright, Li Qin?" Mei Rong asked her friend who appeared uneasy.
"It is already half-past five, why kids aren't here yet? "
"It is Friday, they must have been playing in the park,"
Even though Mei Rong tried to pacify Li Qin, she was unable to feel at ease. What if someone took Li Juan away from her?
"Mama," Qiao Chu called his mother in a panic.
Hearing Qiao Chu's voice, Li Qin ran out of the kitchen only to see that, Li Juan standing in the corner with downcasted eyes.
