Silence. Nothing could be heard, but silence. This was utterly uncommon in Lan WangJi's home. Usually, on weekends, he would sit his kids down and chat with them, but now, since his son is hospitalized, due to his coma, he had no power to speak to his other two kids. But unlike him, his daughter wanted answers. So she sat down with her father and brother by her side, ready to finally get the answers to her one question.

"Dad. You know what I'm going to ask. So please just tell us" she said it without actually asking her usual question

"A-Yi it's not the time~" he gets cut off by his daughter.

"Father! Enough with this nonsense!  Both Zhui-gege and I are adults. It's time for you to tell us, why mom abandoned us!?" She said angrily.

WangJi just sighted. But he decided that he would tell them at some point. Now it's time.

"Your mom went for your sake. The scandal was regarding you three and your mom. So he had to go. Your mom tried to find other methods but there were none." He said looking at the photo above the fireplace. It was a picture of Wei Ying, in high school.

"Why it was also regarding me and my siblings?" SiZhui asked his father.

"Because of the way your youngest siblings were born. You know, men can't give birth, but Wei Ying could. That was a big bomb for the gossipers and superstitious people. He knew this will affect you in the future so he wanted you the have a life without worries." He said to his son and daughter, trying to hold his tears.

"But why the magazines and the cancan were on him, after your description, mom seems to be a normal man, not a celebrity." YiLan said as she also looked at the picture

"Your wrong here. I just wanted you to know about your real mom, not your celebrity mom. YiLan, do you still listening to WuXian?" He asked as he remembered that she was listening to this pop star's song once

"Yeah, why?" She asked confused.

"Because, WuXian is your mom's courtesy, Wei Ying, courtesy WuXian." He said as he grabbed his phone as showed a pic of his and Wei WuXian in the backstage.

"T-that's mom?" She asked surprised.

"Mn. There is a reason why you like his voice. Your mom used to sang you his song, when you were little" he said as he played a video of Wei Ying, holding the twins and SiZhui next to him on the couch, singing a lullaby for the twins.

XiuLan Looks at the video, tears running down her cheeks. "Mama...."

Lan SiZhui looks at his sister and hugs her tight. "Will ever he come back?" He asked his father.

"I don't know." he said as the video stopped

"Dad, did you ever went to his concerts?" XiuLan asked her father as she saw another picture of her mother on her father's screen.

"At each one of them. You also went to one of his concerts when you were little" he said as he showed her a pic of her mom holding her and her twin on the backstage.

The talk continued the whole weekend.

The hallways were loud. The news of a new music teacher was rumbling in every student's voice.

"Did you heard that the new teacher is very young?" A female student asks her friend

"Young my ass, I heard he us in his 30" to 40". But I heard that he looks quite young and quite handsome." She said as she was imagining the teacher "Do you know his name?"
