Early morning.
The alarm clock went off on time.
Tang Xiao rolled out of bed and began to shove the soundly sleeping Wu Jie beside her.
After several pushes with no response, she decided to lean in close to Wu Jie's ear.
"You deadbeat! Wake up!!"
Her shout was like a thunderclap exploding.
Wu Jie woke up instantly, his eardrums buzzing.
He rolled over and was about to retaliate.
However...
Tang Xiao, clearly prepared, nimbly rolled away and then twisted around.
Smack!
Like a chopping strike, the arch of her foot kicked into Wu Jie's lower back.
She then grabbed hold of Wu Jie's wrist, twisted her body around, and climbed onto his back, even pinning his hand behind him.
"Ah!!"
Wu Jie cried out in pain.
This early in the morning, caught completely off guard, he was sneak-attacked by Tang Xiao.
Not only was his eardrum painfully throbbing, the grappling combat added a severe pain to his shoulder and elbow!
