Sun Lixia and Li Chen waited in the living room for Chen Yunlong to arrive, their thoughts enveloping them in a contemplative silence. The air was thick with unspoken questions and untold stories, creating a palpable tension in the room.
Breaking the quietude, Sun Lixia ventured into the unknown territory, her voice carrying a blend of concern and curiosity. "Is there anything you would like to share with me, Li Chen?"
Li Chen, momentarily lifting his gaze, responded with a guarded tone, "What do you mean, Mom?"
Sun Lixia sighed, her expression reflecting a mix of understanding and frustration. "I feel like there are so many things I don't understand that are going on."
Li Chen, maintaining his stoic demeanor, reassured, "It's nothing, Mom."
Sun Lixia, undeterred, pressed on, "Maybe I can help... but how can I if you don't tell me anything?"
