That day, Qiao En did not go to the hospital again; she returned to Chengnan Apartment early.
Drowsiness hit her like a tidal wave.
However, she was startled awake in the middle of her sleep by a loud knocking at the door.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
One knock followed another, each louder than the last.
Qiao En shuffled in her slippers from the bedroom, and it was already dark, not a single light on in the house.
She turned on the light, and as she went to open the door, the person outside fell through, sliding and tumbling inside.
"Ding Hao?"
Qiao En was surprised.
Ding Hao was drunk to the point of stupor; he lay on the ground, reeking of alcohol.
"En'en, you finally opened the door."
He slurred his speech, reaching out to embrace Qiao En.
Qiao En immediately stepped back to maintain a safe distance from Ding Hao.
"Where do you live? I'll contact your family to take you home."
Ding Hao lay on the floor, motionless, just staring at Qiao En with a silly grin.
