Liling scurried to the lobby and she spotted a receptionist by a counter, she opted to check out her mom and the receptionist referred her to an office . She walked to the door and knocked on it, when she heard the invitation from inside, she gently pushed open the door .

"Liling? ,wow we meet again " Chang Ming stood with a surprised smile on his face as he pointed to a seat and told her to make herself comfortable . .

Liling sat as told and smiled comfortably .

"Nurse, I came to discharge my mom . " Liling immediately told him her reason, she didn't want to waste too much time, given that she also had to go back to school that same day .

"Ah, that's right, Is she still here?" Chang Ming asked trying to create a discussion .

Advertisement"Mmm"

"But she's alright now?"

"Mmm"

Chang Ming smiled at her abrupt replies, he really wanted to talk more but she wasn't even giving him the chance .

He sadly asked for her details and her mom's, then discharged her .

"Thank you nurse, I'll be leaving now" Liling stood up to leave but Chang Ming held her back .

"Wait, . . . Liling, . . . . . where do you study? " He wavered, he didn't know why he was feeling so tense .

Liling looked at him with a confused expression as she wondered what he was doing with her school .

"Gahll Polytechnic" She replied and made to walk out again before Chang Ming stopped her once more .

"Course?"

Pausing for a while she replied

"Music"

Then she left for her mom's ward .

Before long they were on the way home, Liling went through her Weibo read through people's posts and comments, laughed at some funny ones and commented on others . She didn't post on Weibo, she just preferred reading others' .

"Mom, I won't be home for a while, our exams are around the corner . " Liling told her mom as soon as they arrived home . She helped her mom carry her bags into the house and sat on the cushion . Their house was old, but neat . The wooden furnitures were not too old because Liling's father was a carpenter so he made the furnitures . The house was Liling's father's father's house . Her dad was the only child and that was the property that was left for him . The ceiling leaked out when she was still little and her dad always patched it . Recently, they saved up money and changed the roofings entirely .

"It's your final exams right?"

"Mmm"

"I'll give you a little of my savings to keep you till your exams are over "

Ah Kum made to stand but Liling held her back .

"You worry yourself too much mom, I have enough for myself and to spare"

The truth was that Liling didn't want to take the little money her mom made from sewing children clothes in the neighborhood . She knew her dad doesn't keep money for the upkeep of the home, but wants to find food on the table anytime he returns; unless he'll lash out on her mom, so taking the little money she saved up was out of the story .

"Lili, don't be like this, I have enough to give you, okay? " she tried to persuade liling, but Liling dissuaded her, after which she gave up . They chatted for a little while, it was almost five in the evening when liling left for school .
