Shen Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed. The words "to see Li Zhi off" were caught in his throat.

The crisp sound of the elevator's arrival suddenly pierced the silence of the hallway.
Old Li didn't wait for Shen Yuan's answer, pulling Xu Chan into the elevator. The couple looked back only to see their daughter still rooted to the spot.
Li Zhi suddenly exclaimed, "Oh!" then patted her head. "Mom, I forgot something!"
Before her parents could react, the beautiful girl had already spun around nimbly and touched her front door. "You guys go down first, I'll be right behind you!"
Through the gap of the slowly closing doors, Old Li's frowning face was obscured by the metal.
