「The next morning.」
The sunlight was strong and somewhat warm. Xu Ke left his single room early and took the subway to the new house on the outskirts of Tianhai City.
The sixty-square-meter new house wasn't large, but it was enough for two people. But now, there was no longer a second person.
Xu Ke made his way to the elevator with practiced ease. As the elevator ascended, he took a deep breath. His visit today was no different from any other, but his mood had changed dramatically.
I wonder if my heart will stir with emotion when I open the door and see the furniture and items Siao Jia left behind...
DING.
The elevator arrived. The familiar scene outside left Xu Ke momentarily stunned.
403.
He took out his key and inserted it into the lock...
CLICK.
The front door remained immovable. Xu Ke froze.
What's going on? He turned the key several more times in disbelief.
CLICK.
But the front door still wouldn't budge. The lock had been changed. Changed overnight.
