The cool morning light filtered through the curtains, illuminating Shen Yuan's room.
Having already washed up, Shen Yuan was getting ready for school.
Before leaving, Shen Yuan turned to look at the two "left-behind children" at home.
"Be good at home, okay? Wait for Daddy to come back tonight."
With that, Shen Yuan closed his bedroom door and went to the front door.
He pushed open the door, and just as expected, a figure was already waiting for him in the hallway.
Li Zhi was standing by the elevator door, her slender fingers unconsciously fiddling with the strap of her school bag.
The young woman was leaning slightly forward, her gaze fixed on the tips of her shoes, as if there were some fascinating pattern on the floor.
The sound of Shen Yuan closing his door seemed to startle her.
Li Zhi spun around abruptly, her movements a little stiff.
The moment her gaze met Shen Yuan's, it darted away, landing on the wall beside him before retreating to the elevator doors.
