Your parents respect your decision and say goodbye to you after a few words of discussion. At this point, you are very confused and open Instagram. You are shocked to find that so many of your Indian classmates have decided to return to their home country immediately after receiving the school email, and you rethink whether to return to China or not.

After dinner, you are bored and open up the airline ticketing app, and you realize that even if you want to go back to China now, there is no chance. The tickets for direct flights are either completely sold out or are speculated at sky-high prices, and you feel panic. You browse through the airline ticket information on various websites with great persistence and find that it is basically the same. At this point, your belief that you want to return home is starting to swell, as you are terrified of the unknown future of New York. To add to your panic, you receive a new email from your school, and you find out that someone in the school has been infected with Covid-19.
