"Yin Za?" Hands started to get clammy as the chopsticks of two people in the room were slowly losing its proper grip. Both of them stiffened knowing the other one broke his promise while the latter knew this will escalate further knowing there was a stubborn beast beside him.

"What's with that Yin Za thing?" Jingyu looked at both of them not understand who this person was. It didn't take long for him to realize that he was referring to Wei Zhou but he still didn't quite get this nickname.

"Ahahaha." An awkward laugh full of regret was trying it's best to distract a confused and dangerously curious Jingyu. As saying goes like father like son they both had a habit of weighing their options and next move.

"So Jingyu how did you learn to cook dumplings." A quick reply with a combo of eating another bite.of dumpling making sure he stuff himself to avoid having to reveal more secrets of his precious son Yin Za. He already knew his son wasn't happy about other people besides his family knowing his nickname.

"My mother thought me before she passed away." Jingyu replied still having to focus on both of their odd behaviors and robotic movement. But his short reply made the whole table forget about the earlier accidental revelation.

"Ohh I didn't mean..."

"It's ok because she's finally happy." Jingyu emphasizes the word happy as if his mother never felt happiness until she finally became free from this world. Jingyu loved his mother but her love only lasted for 7 years and the love he felt was filling up a heart that had a giant black hole at the center.

"Ah Yin Za, Tour Jingyu around." A suggestion that had could both ways as a pick me up and an escape. Wei Zhou looked at his father knowing what he was planning but he still manages to ruin it by calling him Yin Za again.

"He lived here before." To better support, his statement Wei Zhou added another convincing reply. Jingyu read between the lines of this conversation and yet this only made him more curious.

"Well that's odd I don't seem to recognize you." Just like that, they teamed up to stop an upcoming follow-up question from Jingyu about the nickname again. They purposely changed the topic to also hint Jingyu that they will not answer him.

"We have been living here for a very very long time." They didn't even give Jingyu a window to answer and yet this was still an information Wei Zhou’s father never knew. He was curious about how he never saw Jingyu before but he was to busy trying to escape a situation where he had to explain his son's odd nickname.

"It's a small neighborhood." Just like that both father and son quickly stuffed their faces with food clearly not wanting talk any further. Jingyu let the nickname go for now seeing he will get nothing out of both of them. He will surely get that information from Wei Zhou somehow.

"Thank you for the delicious food."Jingyu set his chopsticks down as he quickly picked up the empty bowls on the table a hand stopped him. He looked up only to find a warm smile as his head moved side to side having a disapproving look.

"No..."

"I will clean this you and Yin Za can go outside." Jingyu felt the bowls and pair of chopsticks being removed from his hand. He then even gave Jingyu a pat on the shoulder as he proceeded to push Jingyu away from the table.

"But dad I..."

"No Yin Za have fun." This time he pushed his own son out while also giving Jingyu the same gentle push towards the door. Seeing his father not listening to reason Wei Zhou decided to grab his jacket and a pair of shoes.
