"Alright, you should go back now!" With the key taken away, Jiang Yiting felt as if her courage and burden had been taken away as well.

Then, with some unknown strength, she turned Chen Bainian, who was half a head taller than her, around, pushed his back, and kicked him out of the door of 1202.

With a soft "bang," the door closed.

Jiang Yiting leaned against the door, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

My heart was pounding in my chest, and my face started to feel hot involuntarily.

She slid down onto the floor, leaning against the door, and her gaze met that of the black woolen man who had walked up to her and was looking at her with wide blue eyes.

"Meow?" The older brother moved closer to her and gently rubbed his head against her hand.

"It's nothing—" Jiang Yiting's soft voice was unclear whether she was answering her older brother's question or reassuring herself.

She reached out and scooped "Big Brother" onto her curled-up knees, burying her flushed cheeks in its warm, soft fur. Her voice became muffled as she said, "I just did something big—"

On the corridor outside the main entrance of 1202.

The voice-activated corridor lights had turned on because of the "bang" sound, and the warm yellow light shone on Chen Bainian.

His gaze slowly fell on the silver-white key in his palm, and a clear smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

He slowly reached into his pocket and took out his set of keys.

Although it's called a string, before buying the red safety buckle carved with a dragon this afternoon, I only had one key to the door of room 1201.

Now, a new keychain is about to be added to his keychain.

Using the light from the motion-activated lights in the corridor, Chen Bainian, as if doing something sacred, gently and solemnly threaded the key belonging to 1202 into the key ring.

The two keys stood side by side, just like rooms 1201 and 1202 in front of them, and just like him and her—

Next to them are matching pendants symbolizing peace and safety.

At that moment, a strange and warm current surged in Chen Bainian's heart.

Just like when he gave out the 1201 key, behind this simple key lies a silent trust.

Now that both of them have the keys to 1201 and 1202, the two doors are no longer an obstacle, and the doormats connecting their rooms have become a passageway connecting their small spaces.

The individual spaces between the two will gradually merge together.

Of course, personal sense of propriety still exists, but the level of trust is different now.

Chen Bainian held the now-complete set of keys and stood quietly at the door for a while until the motion-activated light went out.

He listened to the faint sounds coming from behind the door of 1202, and the smile on his lips deepened.

Finally, he took the brand-new key and opened the door to room 1201.

"Bang."

Another soft sound, not loud, but clearly heard inside room 1202.

The voice-activated light came back on.

Jiang Yiting sat on the floor with her back against the door. The moment she heard the door close, her tense body slowly relaxed.

But after only a short while, she tensed up again.

She gently placed her older brother beside her, leaned against the wall to slowly get up, and approached the peephole of apartment 1202, holding her breath as she peered outside.

Jiang Yiting was finally relieved to know that Chen Bainian had indeed returned to his 1201.

However, the subtle emotions mixed with shyness and other feelings that she herself was unsure about did not dissipate.

"Never mind, I don't care anymore." She gently patted her still slightly flushed cheeks.

Since the decision has already been made, there is naturally no possibility or option for regret.

Moreover, that's not her style, and it goes against her truest feelings.

Once you understand this, you'll feel more relaxed.

Jiang Yiting gently called to the black-haired boy at her feet, "Big brother, dinner's ready."

Then, she turned around lightly and led it to the kitchen.

The high ponytail at the back of her head, which always carried a touch of swagger, swayed gently with her steps, just as it always had.

I took out the cat food and poured it into the cat bowl. "Big Brother" immediately came over excitedly and purred contentedly.

Seeing her older brother working so hard, Jiang Yiting took the keychain with the safety buckle hanging from her pocket and put it in her hand.

The metal and the safety buckle collided, producing a subtle but reassuring sound.

Jiang Yiting was unconsciously lost in thought.

A lot happened today.

The two walked a long way, saw many beautiful sights, and talked a lot of heartfelt things.

She even handed over her room key (1202) before leaving that night.

It seems something has changed today —

If it was previously she who, under Ji Siyu's encouragement, gradually tried to take the initiative and slowly advance their relationship with Chen Bainian.

So, after all these days, and even today, Chen Bainian's proactive and meticulous care, as well as their heart-to-heart talk—

Jiang Yiting couldn't help but think of the words Chen Bainian had said that afternoon at Lingyin Temple, which had caused her to have such a strong emotional reaction.

She seemed to gradually understand the significance of that key being handed to her.

That was a shift in my mindset.

It is a transformation from an active attempt guided by external forces to an active one driven by one's own inner motivation.

Perhaps my initial feeling of "having some feelings for him" to Ji Siyu is gradually changing —

Perhaps, now is the moment when the two of them truly begin to move towards each other.

Jiang Yiting let out a soft breath and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

Warm water may wash away today's fatigue, but the gradually changing feelings need more time to sort them out.

Or perhaps, there's no need to figure it out at all; you just need to gradually get used to its changes.

At the same time, the lights in the living room of apartment 1201 next door came on.

Chen Bainian took off his backpack and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

He began to systematically organize his day's harvest.

He placed the tea he was going to bring home in June on the lower shelf of the coffee table, and he also put the other miscellaneous items in his backpack back in their proper places.

Finally, he took the drone that had accompanied the two of them all day, held it in his hand, and turned to walk into the small study.

Press the power button on the host computer, and the monitor will light up.

Connecting the data cable, their memories of the day were quickly transferred to the computer.

Chen Bainian made some simple edits to the videos, and then sent them along with a few photos to Jiang Yiting via WeChat.

However, the two long videos—the group photo taken upon entering the Longjing tea garden and the view of West Lake from Shili Langdang—could not be sent via WeChat because the files were too large.

Chen Bainian tapped his fingertips on the keyboard and sent a message: The full video is too big to send via WeChat. What's your QQ number? I'll add you on QQ and send it to you.

The message was sent, but there was no reply from next door.

Chen Bainian glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the monitor and guessed that she had probably gone to take a shower, so he didn't urge her.

He spun his chair around, shifting his gaze from the computer screen to the whiteboard next to him.
