"Jianjun, are you okay? You seem lost" His worried mother asked. 

He raises his head to look up at her. He had no idea when she came to his room because he had been so lost in thought.

"Mum. When did you get here?" He asked. 

"Few seconds ago. I knocked but you didn't respond" She said before sitting on the chair opposite the bed he was sitting. 

"What is wrong? Is this about Changyu again? When are you going to stop brooding?" She asked in genuine concern.

He used both hands to cover his face. Took in a deep breath and released it slowly. 

"Why did we never think her 'Song' was that 'Song'?" He asked in frustration. "Why did she have to lie about her family? I don't... I don't just understand" He dropped his hands from his face to look at her, hoping she would have an answer for him.
