I-I'm not afraid of him!
"Chirp, chirp, chirp."
At dawn the next day, birdsong rang out from the mountaintop, making the woods feel rather noisy.
The girl lying in bed furrowed her brow and slowly opened her eyes.
She checked the sky. It was already three quarters of an hour past the mao hour.
She had just started to push herself upright when the instant her palm pressed against the bed, a sharp pain shot through it.
"Damn it! Damn it, damn it!"
The pain in her palm reminded Yu Yunwei of the beating she had taken yesterday.
Angrily, she hurled her pillow off the bed.
"You tell me to get up, and I get up? I'm not going!"
Yu Yunwei flopped back onto the bed in a huff, her shoulders heaving with anger.
But just as she closed her eyes to go back to sleep, Xiao Mo's cool gaze appeared in her mind, along with his words: "Don't make me come to your room to wake you."
After tossing and turning for more than ten breaths, Yu Yunwei finally gritted her teeth and sat up.
"I'll just see what you're up to!"
She got out of bed, angrily pulled on her dress, and left her courtyard.
After washing up, Yu Yunwei sat on a stone stool in the courtyard, staring at Xiao Mo's room.
If looks could kill, Xiao Mo would have been killed by Yu Yunwei more times than she could count.
Just as it passed the middle of the mao hour, Xiao Mo's door opened. Yu Yunwei's body gave a slight shiver, her heart began to race, and an inexplicable fear spread through her.
"I-I'm not afraid of him!" Yu Yunwei encouraged herself silently, then shook her head hard and continued glaring at Xiao Mo.
