「The next morning.」
CLICK. The door closed softly.
Xue Rui was jolted awake by the sound. Squinting, he glanced toward the balcony. He couldn't tell what the young woman was doing out there, but he saw Yu Minlan walk past him.
He glanced out the window to see sunlight reflecting off the building across the way and onto his face. It must be getting late.
He straightened his legs on the sofa and stretched his arms out wide, letting out a series of groggy noises:
"Uuungh... Hah..."
Yu Minlan, who had dark circles under her eyes, gave him a disgusted look. "Why do you sound just like my dad?"
Her dad was the same way, groaning and grumbling whenever he stretched. She thought Xue Rui was acting like a crotchety old man, completely oblivious to his image in front of a beautiful woman.
Of course, by 'beautiful woman,' she didn't mean herself, but the breathtakingly beautiful Lin Ruoxi.
