Scene 1
(Leo and his dad stay in the living room after dinner. Leo lies on the sofa scrolling through his smartphone. Dad sits nearby, looking annoyed.)
Dad: You've been stuck on your smartphone all evening. Can't you put it down for once?
Leo: I've hit the books all day long. I just want to relax a little. It's no big deal.
Dad: Relax? You waste hours on videos every single day. You're burning the midnight oil and it's messing up your study and rest.
Leo: To you, grades are everything. You never
get where I'm coming from.
Dad: I'm only doing this for your own good.
Leo: I don't need this kind of overcare.
(Leo crosses his arms and turns away, keeping quiet. Dad sighs and says nothing. The mood turns heavy.)
Scene 2
(Night falls. Dad quietly brings a cup of warm milk and places it beside Leo. Leo catches sight of the milk, pauses, and puts down his smartphone.)
Leo: ...The milk's still warm.
Dad: School has worn you out lately. I shouldn't have lost my temper (脾气) and been so sharp with you earlier.
Leo: It takes two to quarrel (吵架). I shouldn't have talked back rudely either.
Dad: Let's make a simple deal. You can use your smartphone a bit after homework, but don't get carried away.
Leo: Sounds fine. I'll keep my word.
(Leo takes a sip of the milk, and the heavy mood eases off little by little.)
