"Madam, are you up? Come have breakfast."
At half-past eight in the morning, Xia Lu rushed down from upstairs. Mrs. Zhang brought the warmed breakfast to the table and called her over.
"I can't, I'll eat on the way!" Before she finished speaking, she randomly grabbed two purple sweet potato buns from the plate and flew out the door.
"Ma'am..." Mrs. Zhang wanted to say something, but the door was already closed, "The buns were just heated up, they're very hot..."
On the bus, Xia Lu nibbled on a bun while trying to untangle her knotted hair, becoming more anxious and frustrated as she struggled.
Four alarms failed to wake her up, and when she opened her eyes, it was already past eight.
Without caring for anything else, she threw her laptop into her bag, hastily wiped her face, grabbed some clothes and ran out, looking completely disheveled.
"Damn..." She finally admitted defeat to the stubborn knot on her head, silently lamenting.
The bun in her mouth followed suit and fell.
