After heading out early, cycling more than ten kilometers, and spending hours amid all the bustle, even Black Cat felt tired when they returned to the quiet rental.
Fat Ink lazily jumped onto the sofa, lay down in the usual spot, and rolled belly-up to sleep.
Li Wanyin, Wu Jia Yun, and Yan Yufei were exhausted too. All three sank onto the sofa, piling onto Li Wanyin one after another like a train.
"Oh, you two are so heavy-"
"We're getting you used to it early. If you think we're heavy when we're on top of you, what are you going to do in the future?"
"...!! What are you two talking about!"
Flustered, Li Wanyin gave them a few annoyed swats. Chen Shi'an had only just gone into the bathroom to shower, and these two were already getting brazen again.
"Wanyin, looks like Shi'an has plenty of stamina, huh? Hehehe..."
"Shut up, you two-"
Of course Chen Shi'an could hear the three older girls laughing and tussling on the sofa outside while he showered.
He just didn't understand them.
By the time he finished showering and came out, all three were nearly asleep.
Li Wanyin sat at the far end of the sofa, propping her head on her hand and nodding off, while the other two leaned against her, already fast asleep.
Chen Shi'an didn't wake them. He simply moved more quietly, hung up his laundry, then returned to his room to put on his school uniform.
When he was about to leave, Li Wanyin woke up anyway.
Rubbing her eyes, she asked softly, "Are you heading out now?"
"Yes. Sister Wanyin, you don't need to make dinner for me tonight."
"Okay."
"If you three are sleepy, go back to your room to sleep. You still have work tomorrow."
