The second watch has arrived.

"Mingtao, when did you get back, why aren't you sleeping?"
Accompanied by the inquiry, the glaring light turned on. Yu Mingtao instinctively shielded his eyes with his hand and wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. By the time he looked at his mother, his face was calm, "Mom, I'll sleep in a bit."
"What's wrong?" Mother Yu sized up her son, frowning, "Where's Jiping? Why didn't she come back with you? Didn't you say you both would come back and stay until after the New Year?"
"Mm." A sound escaped his throat as the suppressed emotions surged, and Yu Mingtao couldn't say another word.
"What exactly is going on?" Mother Yu slapped her son on the back, "If your dad sees you like this, he'll be angry again. If there's something up, just say it, don't be such a closed book!"
