Xiaoling slowly opened her eyes, suffering from a headache because she drank too much. She grabbed her head in pain as she struggled to sit up. Right next to her, Weisheng was dozing off on the chair, his arm supporting his head while his palm lay flat across his cheek.
She cleared her throat loudly, seeing if he would wake up. But he was dozing off like he hadn't slept in a while. It made sense as he had gone away after returning from horse riding. Xiaoling wasn't even sure if he had had a wink of sleep. She decided to let him sleep in peace as she tried to slip out of the bed.
She needed water, and the jug on the nightstand was empty. As she slipped out of the bed, her knee inevitably struck against Weisheng's leg, waking him up.
"You're awake," He clenched his eyes shut before opening them again, stretching his arm before her to stop her from leaving, "I'll get water for you. Stay here."
