After washing up, Wen Nian changed into her running clothes and sat on the bench by the door, putting on her sneakers.
Sun Min and Zhou Bei got out of bed and hesitated as they walked towards the door. They looked at Wen Nian, who was bending over to tie her shoelaces. Their mouths opened and closed, indicating their desire to speak, but they hesitated.
Wen Nian stood up after putting on her shoes and noticed her two roommates looking at her. She smiled and greeted naturally, "Good morning."
With Wen Nian initiating the conversation, the two of them seemed to break free from their muted state and quickly responded, "Good morning."
Seeing Sun Min and Zhou Bei speaking in unison, Wen Nian was momentarily surprised. She pointed towards the door and said, "I'll go for a run first."
Sun Min nudged Zhou Bei's arm, indicating for her to speak first.
