Six.

Lin Lan Zhi gently pushed open the door, and what came into view was a scene of chaos. The small living room was so messy that she couldn't recognize it as her own home. She saw her younger brother playing and frolicking with several boys who looked to be around thirteen or fourteen years old, as if they were dancing with demons.

The content in the book interested her very much. As she was reading, she forgot about the time. It wasn't until she unintentionally looked up and noticed that it was already dark outside the window that she was startled. She immediately stood up, opened the door, and walked out of the room.

Lín Lánzhǐ's face turned pale. She tightly gripped the broom, lowered her head, bent down, and silently began to clean up, trying hard to ignore the sharp pain in her chest.

Upon seeing the living room in a mess, my mother's expression immediately changed and her angry gaze shot directly towards Lin Lanzhi.

After closing the door, she took a deep breath, put down her backpack, and took out a book from inside.

Sure, here is the translation: Sure enough, my younger brother's friend had already left. Just as she was about to pick up the broom and start cleaning, the front door opened, and our mother, who had just finished work, suddenly appeared at the doorstep.

Lin Lanzhi stood still with a broom in her hand, trying hard to suppress the pain in her heart as she faced her mother, only to receive a look of disgust and a reprimand: "Hurry up and clean up the house!"

That kind of attitude is as if she is a redundant person in this family.

Lin Lan Zhi, your world is filled with silence and darkness. This world is so vast, is there a ray of light that belongs to you?

She seems to be accustomed to it and does not intend to tidy up now because her younger brother does not want his friends to know that his sister is deaf. So she tactfully walked through the living room and returned to her own room.

The chair was kicked askew, a pile of messy food packaging was thrown on the sofa, and the vase on the TV cabinet was shattered, with glass shards scattered all over the floor.

After school.

She knew that at this moment, the living room's stereo must have been turned up to the maximum volume. However, she suddenly realized that not being able to hear seemed to have a benefit - no matter how crazy her younger brother and his friends were playing in the living room, she could still quietly read her book without any disturbance.
