The breakfast table the next morning was so eerily silent that even with the delicious delicacies before him, Hai could barely pass them past his throat. His mother, in particular, had her hawk-like gaze boring into Hai as if one wrong move and there would be no head over his body anymore.
"It's quite a sunny day, isn't it!" Hai beamed.

Hai didn't give up and cleared his throat. "I was thinking if we should celebrate a barbecue party this weekend~ It will be so much fun!"
Silence.
Eventually, Chunhua's soft corner for her husband came gushing forth.
