Standing at the hospital gate, Ron felt a little lost.

So where should I go next?

……

Ding.

The elevator arrived at the fifteenth floor, and the elevator doors slowly opened to both sides.

Wearing a worn-out sports jacket and with her hair slightly disheveled, Mu Dongyin followed behind the man in the suit in front of her with her head down.

The man in the suit didn't say much the whole way, just kept silent with Mu Dongyin.

The man in the suit broke the silence only after leaving the elevator and bumping into his neighbor who had just come out of the building.

"Aunt Chen, are you going out?" The man in the suit greeted the woman as she left, his cold expression turning into a gentle smile.

"Ah, Xiao Mu."

The middle-aged woman, called Aunt Chen, smiled and said to the man in the suit:

"It's almost noon, I'm going out to buy groceries and cook. Oh... Xiao Dongyin's back? Didn't she say she was going to summer camp..."

“Something came up unexpectedly, the summer camp was canceled, so I picked him up,” the man in the suit replied.

"Oh dear, what a huge thing must have happened? A school-organized event was canceled just like that? Sigh, did they refund the money?"

"It's been refunded; the school gave a full refund."

"Oh, that's good."

The man in the suit chatted casually with Aunt Chen, looking just like any other kind and friendly neighbor.

After a while, the man in the suit said to Aunt Chen, "Alright, Aunt Chen, I won't keep you from going out to buy groceries. You go ahead with your business."

“Okay.” Aunt Chen said, then suddenly asked, “Since you and Dongyin are back, would you like to come to my house for a meal? It’s just me and my old man at home, it’ll be more lively if you come over.”

"No need, Aunt Chen, we appreciate your kindness, but we have other things to do later."

The man in the suit smiled and politely declined Aunt Chen's invitation.

Only after seeing Aunt Chen enter the elevator and it descend did he place his finger on his fingerprint lock, open the door, and look at Mu Dongyin:

"Come inside."

His tone was flat, a stark contrast to his behavior in front of Aunt Chen earlier.

Mu Dongyin said nothing and walked silently and calmly into the unlit corridor in front of her.

The man in the suit followed closely behind, then slammed the door shut.

There was no sound coming from inside the room, as if the door had separated the inside from the outside into two different worlds.

……

Ron stood in front of the door, looking at the peeling paint and rust on the iron gate, then looked down at the key in his hand.

"No, I actually own a house?"

Following the system prompts, Ron took both buses and subways, spending the entire morning searching, before finally finding the house that belonged to 'Ron' at the entrance of an old residential area in the old city.

According to the system's settings for Ron.

He spent the first ten-odd years of his life in an orphanage.

When he entered junior high school, he received a scholarship for his good grades. His homeroom teacher took pity on him and lent him his old house.

He even promised that as long as Ron received his scholarship every year, he would let Ron live in the house for free.

That's why Ron got his own house.

"Although I feel like there are flaws everywhere, since I have a place to stay, I won't complain..."

Standing in front of the door, Ron took a deep breath and inserted the key he had just found under the flowerpot outside into the keyhole.

then…

Rotate to open the door.

Ron stepped inside.
