Chapter 161: This Moment, Worth It
As soon as everyone stepped into the newly renovated residential building, it seemed that the long-suppressed emotions finally found an outlet for release, and laughter suddenly exploded, like the joy of a long drought and a rain, echoing in every corner.
"I want this room! The light is best here!" Ji Ming shouted loudly while fighting with Liang Zihan at the staircase. The two of them were arguing happily, and the quarrel went straight upstairs and could be heard clearly on the third floor.
Mei had already jumped into a bedroom like a clever wildcat, rolled directly onto the bed, rolled twice in the soft bedding, and her face was full of happiness.
Yun Shou seemed to have discovered some treasure. He picked up the remote control with excitement and began to operate the smart system in the house. Lights, curtains, air conditioners... various devices switched repeatedly under his control. He looked like a child who found a magic mechanism at the end of the world, with sparkling lights in his eyes.
Liora, standing at the door, just watched all this quietly.
The corners of her mouth slowly raised an arc, and the smile was shallow but calm and profound, like a deep lake without waves.
This was exactly the picture she wanted to see.
This group of people could finally laugh without any defense, no longer tense their nerves all the time, no longer worry about what to eat next, and no longer curl up in a dark corner waiting for dawn.
But——
Only she knew how heavy this peace was.
She looked down at the clean and flat tile floor, the polished kitchen countertops, the fully equipped hot water equipment in the bathroom, and the heavy and solid anti-theft door... All of this did not appear out of thin air.
