Thirty minutes later, the couple that was biting their lips anxiously, awaiting a response from their daughter finally got one. It was a broken heart emoji with little band aids covering the cracks.
Muyang looked at his wife. He did not need to speak up in order for her to hear the question on his lips. 'What does this mean?'
"Quickly, check the internet." She told him.
Muyang gave the order verbally to the phone AI, Bandit. It reported back to them what the internet suggested, 'Healing in a healthy way. The mending heart emoji can be used to convey that you are healing well from a physical or mental wound,'
The couple sat up straighter, puzzled more than before.
"What does this mean?" Chi Lian asked.
'It can also be used as a sign of empathy, condolences and support. The most common interpretation of the mending heart emoji is that one is recovering from a romantic heartbreak.' Bandit added.
