Bai Ming stepped out of the courtyard quietly, pulling the door closed behind her as she adjusted the small bundle of food in her hands.
The morning air was still cool, and the paths of Unit 50 were slowly coming to life as people moved about, some carrying water, others preparing for the day ahead.
She walked slowly.
Her steps were steady, but her eyes moved around carefully.
This place was still unfamiliar to her.
Every house looked similar, and every turn felt new. She had only arrived recently, and even though she tried to remain calm, there was still a sense of uncertainty in her heart.
She tightened her hold on the food slightly and continued walking.
As she turned past one of the paths—
She stopped.
Her brows frowned immediately.
It was Li Manman's house.
Even from the outside, she could recognize it.
Her expression hardened slightly.
For a moment, she stood there, as if deciding whether to keep walking or not.
Then—
Curiosity got the better of her.
