Next day, early in the morning Lifen did some studies on the culture and the surrounding of the country where she will soon be going. She then went to help her mother in the kitchen. She was preparing breakfast.

"Mumma, let me help you. I am all free now. I will make coffee, let's have it together", Lifen said as she entered the kitchen.

When Mother Wu smiled and turned to look at her, but soon her brows frowned in concern, "Is there something wrong, Lifen. Why are your eyes swollen? Have you cried yesterday? You went with Chang. Did he do something to you?"

Last night, after returning back Lifen thoughts flashed with all the past events. Her carefree lovely days with Deming, his promises to her, encountering him after so many years, her heart break, his painful words and everything. Her heart wasn't able to control itself yesterday and all pain and sorrows of her heart flowed down through her eyes.
