Because they arrived early, and many families were just getting up, they didn't see many people along the way.

The only few I encountered were probably rushing to work; I just glanced at them curiously and didn't ask any further questions.

The two of them arrived at apartment 303 in building 2, but when they got to the door, the siblings were dumbfounded.

The door is locked, how are they going to get in?

Hu Xing scratched his head. "Should I go ask the guard at the gate again?"

Su He thought for a moment, and was about to say something when she saw the door opposite open.

A woman in her thirties looked out from inside. After opening the door, she first carefully examined Su He's face, then glanced at her stomach, and hesitantly asked, "Is this Xiao Ji's lover?"

Su He's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she nodded, saying, "Yes, and you are?"

The older sister laughed, "Oh, it really is you! Why are you here so early? I thought you'd be a little later. Luckily I heard you and came out to check, otherwise I would have left you outside."

After the older sister finished speaking, she saw that they were a little confused, so she smiled and explained, "My husband is Xiao Ji's colleague. My surname is Liu, you can just call me Sister-in-law Liu. Xiao Ji was suddenly called away from work last night. Before he left, he said he didn't have time to tell you, so he left the room key with me and asked me to give it to you."

Su He breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank you so much, Sister Liu. Otherwise, we really wouldn't know what to do."

Sister Liu smiled and waved her hand, "No need to thank me, we're all colleagues. Besides, I've been looking forward to having neighbors for a long time. I'm relieved to see that you have a good personality."

Su He laughed after hearing this. How did she come to the conclusion that she had a good personality from just these two sentences?

But as soon as she smiled, Liu's wife exclaimed "Ouch!" again.

Then, with a startled expression, she exclaimed, "Little Ji's wife, you are so beautiful! You and Little Ji are a perfect match. Your children will definitely be beautiful too!"

Then he looked at her belly and said, "Oh my, your belly is so big, are you about to give birth? I heard you came from Shanghai? With such a big belly, the train journey must have been very uncomfortable."

I can rest assured about Xiao Ji.

Oh dear, I was so busy talking that I forgot you must be tired after all that work. I'll go back and get you the keys so you can go in and rest..."

He turned and went back into the house in a hurry.

Su He and Hu Xing exchanged a glance and looked at each other blankly.

A moment later, hurried footsteps were heard again, and Sister Liu came out, followed by a boy and a girl, one about five or six years old and the other about seven or eight years old.

They're probably all her children.

Liu's wife didn't even bother with the two children; she simply took out her keys and opened the door for her.

Su He glanced inside subconsciously and saw that it was a completely empty space.

There didn't seem to be much furniture in the room.

The only good thing is that it's very clean.

Seeing this, Sister Liu said, "Xiao Ji used to live in the dormitory. A few days ago, she said that you were coming, so she applied for a house with her work unit."

"Little Ji's wife, don't be fooled by the fact that there's nothing here yet. It's quite spacious, 55 square meters. You two can decorate it slowly when Little Ji comes back."

Su He wasn't too disappointed, after all, it was a mission, and having a place to stay was enough.

She felt uncomfortable with the way Liu addressed her, so she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my surname is Hu, and my name is Hu Mei. You can call me Xiao Hu or Xiao Mei, it's fine."

Upon hearing this, Sister Liu exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, what a lovely name! It sounds like you're from the city. Plum Blossom is so nice, unlike me. A country girl is like a blade of grass. My father named me Liu Grass Girl, which is so awful!"

Su He awkwardly explained, "It's the 'mei' in 'rose'."

"What is a rose?" Sister Liu asked curiously.

Su He: "...It's also a kind of flower."

Sister Liu waved her hand, "As long as it's flowers, it'll be fine, and it'll sound nice."

Su He: "..."
