The next day, when Bai Youwei woke up, Shen Mo was not by her side.
He was standing by the window, which was half-open. The rain outside had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy.
"What time is it?" Bai Youwei asked as she got up.
"Seven o'clock," Shen Mo replied.
Bai Youwei was a bit dazed. Had she slept that long? Judging by the sky, she thought it was five or six o'clock, but it was already seven... She usually couldn't sleep well in foreign environments and she didn't know why she fell asleep the moment she closed her eyes this time.
She had a feeling that this wasn't a good thing.
Bai Youwei sluggishly got out of bed. Over by the screen were washing utensils: a damp wooden basin, a coarse bristled toothbrush, and a cloth with a musty smell of earth.
She didn't touch any of these things. Instead, she opened the dollhouse and asked Teacher Chang for their toiletries.
You might as well bring breakfast too.
