When morning came, Yin Hong woke up a little later than usual. She gingerly rubbed her eyes and stretched.
On the other side of the room, her cousin is still sleeping underneath the warmth of her blanket. Yin smiled faintly at the sleeping girl. She didn't notice when Xiao came back to their shared room; the girl has always been quiet. Sneaking back into the dorm way past curfew is Xiao's thing now, apparently.
Since it's the weekend, they're allowed to sleep in. Yin got out of bed, her bare feet touching the cold wooden floor. She slipped out of her nightgown and put on a light green sundress, topped with a white jacket.
The weather is getting a little colder, and in a week, they will have their finals at the end of summer. Xiao's birthday is three weeks away, and Yin asked Uncle David for a favor.
