Chan Master Teaches the Chicken's Heart

"Too late!" Early in the morning, Zhu Peng dragged his feet as he carried his luggage out the front door. He saw Shun Lie's white van already parked outside. Hearing Zhu Peng complain, Shun Lie snapped, "You're so inconsiderate! I'll be gone for ten years—can't you let me say goodbye to my wife?"

Chen Shanzang looked at Zhu Peng in confusion. At his words, Zhu Peng's face darkened. He whipped around and saw his wife smiling at him, and his whole world seemed to collapse.
