Ye Baoji sighed tiredly as he heard the child's cry again.

It had been a week since he had moved into his new apartment. But while at first he was excited about the move and being away from his parents, after the first night he was disappointed.

Or rather, it happened a little later. At first he thought the young mother was just having a bad day. But the next day it happened again, and every day after that.

The man was quite reserved, but the screaming was interfering with his work, and even his cat was meowing unhappily. He went to the door opposite. Yes, the problematic neighbour lived right across the street.

He tried knocking several times, but the woman never opened the door. So he decided to find out more about the neighbour. That day he visited the old lady. She told him about the young mother.

The young mother has a bad reputation in the house. The neighbours always argue with her. She is rude and aggressive. She drinks a lot and her child always cries. She lives in a small but legal flat. There are problems with electricity and heating. There is only cold water and little food.

Hearing the old woman's words, Baoji was worried. He didn't know how honest the old woman was, but if everything she said was true, then the situation was really bad. He was also worried that everyone knew about the girl's situation. But no one to have offered to help or called the child protection services. Baoji thanked his old lady and went back to his flat.

The next day he went to the store. He knocked on the door again. This time he said hello louder. He was holding a bag of groceries in one hand and a plate of cake in the other.

"你好, I am your new neighbour. My name is Ye Baoji. Can you open the door, I have a cake?"

The man wanted to see if her flat was as bad as her grandmother said it was. And to see how he could help. The old lady told him that the woman had no acquaintances, family or friends. The child's father had also disappeared.

Being a young mother with no support is terrible...
