Sunshine & Bright Stars Ch. 17

Sunshine & Bright Stars Ch. 17: I found out about Ah-Ming's family.

Ah-Ming: "Thank you for buying the cake and specially coming here. Did you eat?"
Chengzi: "It's ok! We're not hungry!"
(rumble rumble rumble~~~)

Ah-Ming: "I'll cook dinner for you. One moment."

"Yummy! Yummy!! Too delicious!! Ah-Ming, your cooking is so good!"

Chengzi: "Oh yeah, Ah-Ming, how come your parents aren't here yet?"
Ah-Ming: "Uh, they..."

"Oh no! I ate too fast! Ah-Ming, where's your bathroom?!"

(Ring ring ring-)

Ah-Ming: "Hello?"

Ah-Ming: "Thank you, I'm fine."

Ah-Ming: "When you left, you were more indifferent than I am right now, right?"
Chengzi: Eh?

Ah-Ming: "You have nothing to be sorry about. I'm not mad. You're overthinking it."

Ah-Ming: "I wish happiness to you, your husband, and your son. That's all."
Chengzi: Could Ah-Ming's parents be divorced?!

(Clack--)

Qi Liye: "Fuck! It's Ming-ge's birthday today! Why did you good-for-nothings all forget?! Get moving!"
"You talk as if you didn't forget..."

Chengzi: "Ah-Ming, my parents are also not around often on my birthday. Even though you're apart, your mom didn't forget your birthday. That means she still loves you."
"Right! Birthdays are for eating cake happily! Let's take the cake apart!"
Ah-Ming: "Yeah."

(Ring ring ring-)

Ah-Ming: Could it be mom?

"Yo! Happy birthday!"

Qi Liye: "Why do you look so down?!"

"What the fuck?!"
