It was already two or three in the morning, and the whole neighborhood was extremely quiet.
The four of them entered the elevator. Zhang Ran turned to look at Chen Zhaodi beside her and saw that her face was pale and she looked like she was sick.
Old Chen didn't care about his sick daughter at all. He couldn't read the elevator buttons, but excitedly asked Zhang Ran, "Which floor do you live on?"
Zhang Ran looked at Chen Zhaodi and answered, "303."
Chen Zhaodi lowered his head, seemingly in great distress.
The four of them got out of the elevator and stood outside the door of room 303. Zhang Ran took out the key and handed it to Chen Zhaodi, saying, "Mom, you open the door."
Chen Zhaodi took the key with trembling hands, inserted it into the lock, but couldn't turn it open no matter what he did.
"Why can't the door be opened?" Old Chen glared at Zhang Ran and demanded, "Did you take the wrong key?"
“That’s right.” Zhang Ran stared straight at Chen Zhaodi. “This is the only key I have.”
Didn't take the wrong key? Old Man Chen reached out and shoved Chen Zhaodi hard, ignoring the thud her head made when it hit the wall. "What a useless piece of trash! Can't even open the door. I think you've gone crazy from being in jail!" Sure enough, the next second, he opened the door with the key, turned on the light, and went inside without hesitation.
Chen Zhaodi stood at the door without moving.
Zhang Ran stared at her, feigning confusion as she asked, "Mom, why aren't you going inside? We're home."
"Oh, right." Chen Zhaodi seemed to wake up from a dream, lifted her foot and walked in, but stood still in the entrance hall.
Zhang Ran glanced at her indifferently, opened the cabinet, took out a pair of red slippers and handed them to her, "These slippers are specially bought for you. Wear them at home from now on."
Chen Zhaodi reached out her hand, trembling, but dared not touch it.
Zhang Ran, annoyed by her slow pace, practically shoved her into her arms, then strode into the living room without changing her shoes. She saw that Old Man Chen had already made this place his home, skillfully finding the remote and turning on the TV, then lounging on the sofa to watch.
Zhang Ran's gaze swept over him, then turned to Chen Zhaodi, who had changed his shoes and was slowly walking over. She took his hand, pulled him to a door, opened it, turned on the light, and pushed him inside. "You'll be staying in this room from now on."
Chen Zhaodi's voice sounded like she was forcing a "good" out of her throat.
Zhang Ran looked around the room, which was the master bedroom she had lived in in her previous life. She turned to Chen Zhaodi and smiled, "If you need anything, just tell me. It's late, get some rest." She walked out of the room and slammed the door shut.
Chen Zhaodi's whole body trembled slightly from the sound of the door closing.
Back in the living room, Zhang Ran looked at Old Man Chen, who was watching TV, and said, "There aren't any extra rooms in the house. If you want to stay, you'll have to sleep on the sofa." Without waiting for Old Man Chen's reaction, she called Dong Chan to go into the side bedroom with her.
Old Chen wasn't angry. Instead, he immediately lay down to try it out. The sofa was soft and comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud.
With a creak, the door opened.
Chen Zhaodi walked up to Old Man Chen with a pale face. "Dad, you can sleep in the room. I'll sleep on the sofa."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Chen snorted coldly without any politeness, "Consider yourself filial." He strode past Chen Zhaodi and went into his room to rest.
Chen Zhaodi stood alone in the center of the living room, and after looking around, the last trace of color drained from her face. She dared not turn off the light, and curled up in a corner of the sofa, unable to close her eyes.
The lights suddenly went out!
She hugged herself in terror, staring wide-eyed at the direction she was lying on her side. She remained in that position until dawn, when she finally couldn't resist leaning against the sofa and falling into a deep sleep.
