Although the midsummer heat had not dissipated in the evening, Xiao Ke still went out. She did not take her bag, but only brought her house keys. There was only one key, black, tied to a delicate and shiny steel key ring. The key ring did not have a photo keychain hanging on her body like others. It was not that she did not want to hang it, but that the person she wanted to bring with her was not suitable to appear in such a public manner before. Now, there is no such suitable person anymore. She dangled the solitary key with her right index finger and went out seemingly easily. She walked down from the eleventh floor and took the stairs instead of the elevator. This was her habit. Exercise and stay in shape, you have the best of both worlds. She is a woman who can handle things clearly and thinks everything over in her mind. She understands how to benefit herself.
