The dawn chorus woke her.
Su Xiang opened her eyes, lifting her head from the table. Her hand felt something soft and smooth, and she realized that her fingers entwined with Su Chen's.
Her eyes gaped.
He was still sleeping; his face was slightly flushed, most likely due to the warm weather and the layers of their clothing. It was not unusual for the two of them to sleep in random places.
When studying, both of them would wake in cafeterias, lounges, cubicles, or sleeping pods. Sometimes, Su Xiang would find Su Chen on the floor, while he found her sleeping upright on a desk chair.
Su Xiang slowly retracted her hand from his, but she was the one who grasped it. She flushed, embarrassed.
Why did she grab him while she was sleeping?
Su Xiang decided to think of it as nothing. She stood up, stretching her body. She heard Su Chen wake up; he appeared to be startled as if he didn't realize that he fell asleep.
