Zhou Bai looked at Father Lin standing in front of him and thought to himself: How about changing the time?
The main thing is that he doesn't really want to leave his room these days.
"I hope you keep your word.
Don't make me hate you again."
It's a pity that these two words from Father Lin blocked Zhou Bai's retreat.
Zhou Bai could only take back what he was about to say.
Forget it, four o'clock in the afternoon is not a very dangerous time.
As long as he repairs the door quickly and comes back, there should be no big problem.
Zhou Bai did not say no in the end.
After Father Lin said the last two sentences, he dragged his heavy steps slowly towards his home.
Zhou Bai watched his back leave, closed the door again, returned home, and turned on the light.
Dim lights illuminated the living room.
Zhou Bai looked at the sunset outside the window, walked to the balcony, and looked outside.
The scenery outside the house was still hazy.
In the distance, buildings with not much difference in appearance stood one after another. Under the reflection of the setting sun, they projected a whole patch of light and shadow without any ups and downs.
Zhou Bai frowned, quickly closed the glass door of the balcony, turned around and walked back to the living room.
He sat on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.
He was thinking about the relationship between the voice on the ceiling and the world he saw now.
The next morning, since it was a rest day, Zhou Bai didn't hear Aaron's footsteps going to work early in the morning.
He woke up naturally after sleeping. He got up and took out his mobile phone. He saw that the time was already nine o'clock in the morning.
He got up from the bed, went to the toilet and washed himself briefly, then took out food from the refrigerator and made a simple breakfast.
While he was having breakfast, Aaron and Azhen next door seemed to have just gotten up.
So while Zhou Bai was having breakfast, he heard Aaron's voice constantly coming from the next door.
"Honey, help me get my clothes from the balcony."
"Tsk, do you need to talk like that?"
"Are you still talking about me? Look at yourself."
"I just said a few words to you, why are you crying again?"
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, okay?"
Zhou Bai didn't know why they suddenly started quarreling without saying a word.
Azhen's voice was too low, so Zhou Bai could only slightly guess what they might have been arguing about.
Aaron next door was so angry that he made all kinds of "thunder and clang" sounds even when he was taking things.
Zhou Bai finished his breakfast and shook his head helplessly.
Silently holding the dishes and chopsticks in his hands, he turned on the faucet and started to wash them.
As for the quarrel between Azhen and Aaron next door, it did not end just like that.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, they broke out into a more heated quarrel again.
In the end, they ended the quarrel with Aaron opening the door and saying, "I'm so annoyed. Just calm down."
Zhou Bai was sitting on the sofa and heard Aaron slamming the door, followed by anxious footsteps, echoing in the corridor.
After the quarrel, Azhen hid in her room and did not come out.
Zhou Bai was still sitting in the living room, and he could only occasionally hear her footsteps, which sounded leisurely next door.
Today is Zhou Bai's fifth day entering this instance.
And time passed quickly, arriving at four o'clock in the afternoon as agreed with Lin's father.
Zhou Bai removed the wooden door of his room in advance. At this time, holding the door of his room in one hand and a pile of tools in the other, he appeared in front of the Lin family's door.
Father Lin heard the knock on the door and opened the door with a gloomy face.
However, when he saw Zhou Bai appearing with a wooden door in his hands, he still couldn't hold back and showed a surprised expression.
"You think your door may be a bit broken.
But it doesn’t matter, I took out the door of my room and gave it to you.”
After Zhou Bai finished speaking, he used his other hand to knock on the wooden door he was holding.
"How is it? It's very strong, isn't it?"
Father Lin's eyes widened and he froze on the spot.
Zhou Bai poked his head in and waved to Mother Lin who was cleaning the room.
"Good afternoon, I'm here to repair the door."
Xiong Xiong was sitting on the sofa, lowering his head and playing with his mobile phone. When he saw Zhou Bai come in, he let out a "hum", then changed his posture, turned his back to him, and continued to play the game in his hand.
Mother Lin was equally surprised as she looked at the wooden door held in Zhou Bai's hand.
The face that had always been filled with anger finally relaxed a little at this moment.
"Um...I'll put this broken door here for you.
If you feel you have no use for it at that time, you can take it and throw it away."
What Zhou Bai actually wants to say is, I have no way to go downstairs. You can just take this broken door and throw it away.
Father Lin didn't hear anything wrong with what he said.
He was still in shock, but he didn't react until Zhou Bai squatted down and started to dismantle the parts on the door.
Mother Lin glanced at Zhou Bai a few times and then went about cleaning herself.
After the cleaning was completed, he put down the broom in his hand, walked into the kitchen, and started preparing dinner.
Xiongxiong continued to sit on the sofa and play games.
Father Lin acted as the supervisor, standing behind Zhou Bai and watching his every move.
The door Zhou Bai removed from his home was the same size as the one he broke.
So the whole installation process went quite smoothly.
At about 5:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Bai reinstalled the door.
He stood up, turned the doorknob, and swung the door back and forth to show Father Lin the installed wooden door.
At this time, Mother Lin came over holding a plate of cooked chicken legs.
"I just finished cooking, why don't you stay and have dinner together."
Zhou Bai looked at the plate of chicken legs in Mother Lin's hand and quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, I'll check again and you can leave right away."
Mother Lin didn't force it, she turned to Father Lin and said.
"Then you and Xiong Xiong come here quickly."
Zhou Bai saw that Lin's father finally left, and quickly turned his attention to the wardrobe aside.
"Do you have any other doors that need to be repaired?
Wardrobe doors, refrigerator doors, toilet doors, I'm very good at them all."
Zhou Bai said as he opened the closet door and pretended to check if there was anything that needed repairing.
But his eyes quickly swept through the closet.
"No, you can leave after you repair the door you broke."
Father Lin was sitting in the restaurant and shouted to Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai had already gotten the answer he wanted to know, so he didn't stay any longer. He took the tools he brought and walked out of the room.
In the restaurant, their family of three sat around the dining table.
There is plenty of food on the dining table.
Zhou Bai came out of the room with the tools, and just as he was about to say goodbye to them, he looked towards the restaurant, but suddenly he froze on the spot.
