The next morning.
"Good morning, Boss!"
"Morning, brothers. Everyone's up, huh!"
"Starved awake. Laosi doesn't seem to be up yet, right? Doesn't he usually get up early? I'll go wake him up for breakfast."
They stretched, yawned, and greeted each other good morning.
Qin Shan rubbed his face and volunteered to wake Gu Yu.
He strode over to Gu Yu's bedroom door, ready to deliver a five-knock wake-up call.
But as he was about to raise his hand, the door creaked open.
"Morning, Laosi si si si...bro...sister?"
Qin Shan greeted instinctively. To his surprise, it wasn't Laosi who opened the door, but Lin Xinyue!
The words he had just spoken took a sudden turn.
"Yeah, morning."
Lin Xinyue paused for a second, murmured a response, quickly fixed her messy hair, and then walked past Qin Shan.
Qin Shan's eyes bulged, even larger than a bull's, as he dumbfoundedly watched Lin Xinyue open the door and walk out.
