"Get up! No more sleeping!"
Zhou Qiaoling shook the Flopie sleeping soundly on the straw mat with all her might, but it showed no reaction whatsoever.
Sleeping at bedtime and working upon waking were part of the base Pals' programming.
The only thing that could make them open their eyes was a sudden raid.
"Have a heart, little sis..."
