When Xia Zhisu finally made her shaky way downstairs, everyone in the living room was already having lunch.
Ling Tian'ao was still as vigorous and energetic as ever, eating gracefully and, out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but snicker at the sight of Xia Zhisu struggling down the stairs.
"Azhi! You've finally gotten out of bed!!" Xiao Tonghao teased, his voice dripping with innuendo.
Xia Zhisu's smile was strained as she chuckled dryly.
Her legs were trembling so badly that she couldn't even walk down the stairs.
At the table, Ling Tian'ao stood up and strode over to her.
Xia Zhisu glared at him.
Ling Tian'ao raised an eyebrow, bent down to pick her up, and brought her to the table, whispering teasingly in her ear, "You still know to come down for meals. I was beginning to think I hadn't fed you enough!"
