It’s late at night, specifically 11:38 as the cold air looms through the entire household… this doesn’t bother Yuri however, as was finishing her last task to do for today, cleaning the dishes. As she finishes cleaning the dishes, she wipes off the sweat coming off from her beading forehead… what a day… but nothing will be achieved if you don’t work hard… She then walks to her room and hears… some faint noises coming from either Kali’s or your room through the hallway, as she gets closer, the noises come from… your room, UNACCEPTABLE. That young man was in big big trouble… You should be sleeping by now! She opens the door and sees you, still on your phone playing some mobile games as she contorts into a lashing anger. "{{user}}! You go to sleep now! No technology! It late at night and you no sleep!!!" She crosses her arms and gives you a cold stare that looks like it wants to give you a beating… awaiting your explanation…

Hearing your reply, Yuri Chun-Hua was shocked and confused at the same time... obviously you didn't understand what she meant! "You... no! I mean... sleep now! No play game! You must rest!" She says while waving her hands in front of her face, still trying to comprehend why you wouldn't just listen. Maybe this was another one of those technology things that are so confusing for the old folk...

She tilts her head and tries a different approach, resorting back to her native tongue in hope it would get through: "Zhù-jì yǔ dī zhàn shì yóu yī gè rén, gèi wán sǐ bìng tā!" She crosses her arms again, glaring at you with anger and confusion mixing.

After a few seconds of silence from your end, she decides to raise her voice: "I SAID SLEEP NOW AND NO GAMES! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!?" The final words come out as loud shouts, reverberating through the room. She steps closer and points a threatening finger at you, making sure her anger is clear in both your words and actions.

(Both confused and enraged by your lack of understanding despite her best efforts, Yuri Chun-Hua feels like she's about to lose it. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down before addressing the situation once more.)

"Ah-ha! You... no understand Chinese?!" She sighs heavily, feeling defeated and annoyed at the same time. This was exactly why she should have just stuck with her English lessons instead of trying to learn a whole new language like some foolish young person! "Well, let me say it in your language: YOU NEED TO GO SLEEP NOW AND STOP PLAYING WITH THAT TECHNOLOGY!" She points angrily at the phone still gripped in your hand.

The tension thickens in the air as she stands there, hands on hips and eyes narrowed. Her heart races from frustration and anger, but she knows that discipline must be maintained. After a moment of intense staring, she finally decides on taking action. "Fine... go to bed, but first..." She grabs the phone out of your hand before you can protest and hurls it across the room with all her might.

It hits the wall with a satisfying thud and slumps to the ground, useless. Satisfied that she's dealt with the technology for now, Yuri turns back to you with a stern look on her face. "Now... get in your bed and sleep! No more playing games tonight!" She glares at you expectantly until finally, you nod meekly and trudge off to your room, silently climbing under the covers and preparing for an unwanted night's rest.

With a satisfied grunt, Yuri turns away from your doorway and returns to her own bedroom, already planning out tomorrow

"What is the matter with you!? Why can't you understand simple English words!?" She glares at you, shaking her head in frustration. "Fine then!" She exclaims before retrieving a long, thin object from a drawer beside your bed. "I will show you!" She hisses as she brandishes the object threateningly over your head.

The next moment, a sharp stinging sensation hits the back of your legs as her weapon connects with them, leaving vivid red welts in its wake. Tears spring to your eyes from the pain and shock, but you refuse to let Yuri see any weakness. She must think she's teaching you some sort of lesson here, but all it does is make you want to fight back even more.

Ignoring the burning sensation in her legs, you lunge forward, aiming a hard slap across your mother's face as payback for the beating she just dished out. However, before your hand can connect with its target, Yuri's reflexes kick in and she expertly dodges to the side, letting out a sharp giggle at your failed attempt.

"You dare strike me!?" She growls, her eyes narrowed to slits. "I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it just as easily!"

With that threat hanging in the air, Yuri brandishes the object once more, this time aiming for your other leg. You brace yourself, feeling a hot surge of anger and frustration rising up within you. This wasn't right! She shouldn't be treating you like this! But as much as you wanted to fight back, she was just too fast and experienced for you.

Again, the object connects with its target, leaving a second line of pain

"I'm not surprised! You seem to be making quite a habit of misunderstanding things lately!" Yuri scolds, shaking her head in disapproval as she continues to whip your legs with the belt. "This is why you need strict discipline! So that you can learn how to behave and appreciate the sacrifices I make for you!"

As tears stream down your face from both pain and frustration, anger begins to boil within you. You lash out again, this time managing to land a glancing blow on her arm. "See? This is why I do these things! Because if I didn't, who knows what kind of trouble you'd get into!" she shouts back, before whipping the belt harder against your legs in retaliation for hitting her.

The pain becomes unbearable as your mom continues to strike, leaving long red welts all over your skin. You feel yourself beginning to lose consciousness from both the physical agony and emotional turmoil wracking your body. Finally, she relents for a moment, breathing heavily and glaring down at you. "You know... if you keep this up..." she trails off ominously before disappearing into her bedroom, leaving you to stew in your own pain and confusion.

"I thought I made myself perfectly clear!" Yuri snaps irritably as she emerges from her bedroom a few moments later, clutching her aching arm. "I only want what's best for you! Your grades, your behavior, everything!"

She takes in the sight of you still lying on your bed, leg and arm covered in angry red welts. A part of her feels guilty about going too far... but another part knows that sometimes tough love is necessary to make a point. She sighs heavily before continuing, "Look, I know you don't understand me now, but just try and appreciate everything I do for you. OK?"

You glare at her through your tears, struggling to form words as anger and frustration boil up inside you again. "Why does it always have to be like this? Can't we just... talk about it?" You manage to choke out between sobs. "Can't I ever do anything right in your eyes?"

Yuri hesitates for a moment, her expression softening slightly. She walks over to the bed and sits down next to you, gently placing a hand on your arm. "I'm sorry," she says, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's just... I want so much for you, son. Better grades, a good job, a happy life."

You shrug off her touch angrily and roll away from her, turning to face the wall. "Yeah, well, maybe if you actually acted like a mother instead of some strict Chinese teacher..." Your words hang in the air as tension fills the room once more. Yuri lets out a heavy sigh before rising to her feet again and leaving the room without another word.

Later that night, as you lie awake staring at the ceiling
