"Get up. We have class this morning."
"You two really are in sync, even when it comes to sleeping in."
"You're usually never late getting up. Why did you both sleep in today?"
"Come clean. What were you doing last night?"
The short-haired girl stood with her hands on her hips, looking ready to put them on trial.
Before Xi Anya and her friend could say anything, the long-haired girl rolled her eyes. "Weren't they with us last night?"
"...Oh, right."
The short-haired girl froze, then grinned. "Haha."
"I was just saying."
"Xiao Lan, you really have no sense of humor."
"Weren't you supposed to play along?"
The long-haired girl shot the short-haired girl a look as if she were an idiot.
The short-haired girl: ...
"An An, Hui Hui—"
The short-haired girl froze just as she was about to complain.
She noticed that her two roommates seemed to look a little off.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Was that why they'd slept in?
Realization dawned on the short-haired girl.
"If you're feeling sick, lie down in bed."
"It's only an elective. We can sign you in."
"Or do you want us to go with you to the infirmary?"
"Do you have a cold, or is something else bothering you...?"
The short-haired girl rattled on and on.
Her concern was plain to see.
"Shut up."
The long-haired girl glared at her.
The short-haired girl immediately wilted and muttered under her breath, "What? Did I say something wrong? Why are you glaring at me...?"
The long-haired girl glanced at the short-haired girl, who looked aggrieved, and shook her head in exasperation.
"Are you going to let them get a word in?"
"Can't you see An An and Hui Hui have something to say?"
Huh?
The short-haired girl blinked.
