Before his legs were broken, Ji Yan was a workaholic. He would be found working in the company or in his study. After his legs were broken, he became depressed and locked himself in a dark room all day. He would not leave his house.
The other siblings rarely went home. When they finally went home, they stayed in their own rooms. The Ji family was immersed in this cold way of dealing with each other. The time they spent together as a family was even lesser than the time they spent with ordinary classmates and colleagues. Their interactions with each other in one year were pitifully little.
