Chapter 5: Second Encounter二

The next day, she felt embarrassed to go to room 501 to find him again. Instead, she went straight to the landlord, requesting a key exchange or a different room. The landlord was uncooperative and evasive, which was understandable. So, she persisted, nagging the landlord relentlessly.

第二天她不好意思再去501找他了，不找了，太丢人了，她直接找房东要求换钥匙，要么就给她另外换一间房间，于是就和房东这么折腾着，房东不肯给她换，一直和她打哈哈，这一切都在情理之中。于是她只能在房东这磨叽着。

"If you don''t change it today, I''ll come back tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then the day after. I''ll come by every day until you''re annoyed enough to change it." Bai Ling quietly devised her strategy.

白灵默默地找到了对策：今天不给换我明天再来，明天不给换我后天再来，不给换我就天天来这晃一次，烦死你。

She knew that changing rooms right away wouldn''t be easy – achieving anything in life rarely was.

她知道要马上换也没有那么容易，这世间之事想要做成一件都不容易。

Her confidence, perseverance, and determination would be put to the test. This held true for her studies and seemingly simple tasks like persuading the landlord to change her room.

要考验她的信心，恒心和毅力。读书如此，连找房东换个房间也同样如此。

In the evening, she returned to her residence. This time, she did not dare to open the door casually.

晚上，她回到了自己的住处，这次她不敢随随便便地开门。

After confirming that she was indeed at room 401, she took out her key to unlock the door. Just then, a sound caught her attention, and she glanced toward its origin—it was the young man!

她仔细看清了是401后她才拿起钥匙去开门，突然有个声音吸引了她的注意力，她朝声源望去---是那个男孩！

He came to deliver the key to her himself.

他来给自己送钥匙了。

She approached him and accepted the key, using it to open her own door. As it turned out, the key to room 501 also worked for room 401—the landlord was undeniably unreliable.

她上前几步从他手中接过钥匙去开自己的门，果然501的钥匙也能开401的门，这房东真是不靠谱。

She inwardly chastised the landlord, wishing she could confront them, but the timing wasn''t right. Besides, the landlord was quite intimidating, and she lacked the courage to confront him. She hoped the landlord would change her key
