Time passed by and Hou Lin's sense of indecisiveness only kept on piling up. The frequent arguments between his parents always left him unable to choose sides because he didn't want to choose one parent over the other. If he said his father was right, Hou Luli would get upset and if he took Hou Luli's side, then Hou Fa would make a sour expression.

That day, Hou Lin went to his mother and explained his predicament. "Mom. Everybody in my class is not doing tomorrow's assignment. But I think that…I will be able to complete it. So should I do the assignment?"
