Tender times always passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Qin Jiuxiao walked out of the sisters' room, stretched his arms wide, and felt full of energy all over.
Sunlight fell upon him, making him look spirited and thoroughly invigorated.
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing followed right behind him, glowing with radiant health, their skin fair with a rosy flush like flowers nourished by rain and dew, and both exuding a captivating charm.
Xiao Wu bounced happily out of her room with a carrot clamped in her teeth, a bright smile spreading across her face when she saw Qin Jiuxiao.
She hopped over to Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, playfully poking their bellies with a mysterious and teasing smile in her eyes.
"Did Sister Zhuyun and Zhuqing sleep well last night?"
Teased like this by Xiao Wu, the sisters' cheeks instantly flushed red.
Zhu Zhuqing was so embarrassed she lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes and staying silent.
Zhu Zhuyun was a bit more poised, giving Xiao Wu a gentle glare, but the smile at the corner of her mouth was impossible to hide.
Ning Rongrong also woke up bright and early, though not because she was diligent; she was simply starving after hardly eating anything the entire previous day.
She rubbed her eyes as she walked out of her room, and upon seeing Qin Jiuxiao, she seemed to recall yesterday's abandon, her gaze turning timid as she dared not look him in the eye.
Qin Jiuxiao laughed aloud, stepping forward to take her hand. "We know everything inside and out by now, what are you still shy about?"
At his words, Ning Rongrong blushed even more, yet the corners of her mouth could not stop curling upward.
The girls exchanged glances, smiles surfacing deep in their eyes
