He threw off the covers and sat up from the bed, heading to the bathroom to change into a clean pair of underwear, all the while wearing a stern expression as he scrubbed the one he'd just removed.
After he hung up his clothes to dry, he went out for a run, even going a few extra laps out of frustration.
However, since he woke up extraordinarily early today, after his run and after getting dressed, he came down to the living room to see his grandfather. "Good morning, grandpa."
Old Master Gu sat on the sofa, holding a newspaper. He responded with a faint hum, "Guibao and Siyu haven't come down yet. Sit for a while and wait, we'll eat when everyone's here."
"Alright." Gu Tingyun nodded, accompanying his grandfather in reading the newspaper.
After a while, hurried footsteps echoed from the staircase. He knew immediately that one of those footsteps belonged to Guibao.
Sure enough, the next second saw Helian Qiao and Gu Siyu rushing down the stairs one after the other.
