The next day.
By the time Lu Xiaoxiao woke up, the clock on the wall already showed twelve noon.
Although half the day was already gone, this sleep schedule was pretty normal for her.
Lu Xiaoxiao stretched, felt around on the nightstand, and picked up her fully charged phone. Then she turned on the screen to see who had messaged her that morning.

Cui Anhe sent a question mark back
