A sleepless night.
All night, Xu Qingfan had troubled sleep, waking up at the slightest noise.
After a groggy second half of the night, the set alarm for 6:30 rang.
"Brother Qing Fan, didn't sleep well last night?" Lin Wanning approached him with his spiritless deanor, using her hand to widen his eyes.
"Ha~ must be the holiday syndro." Xu Qingfan yawned, pulling on Lin Wanning's cowlick.
As for the real reason, he couldn't very well say he was afraid Xia Xiaoxiao might co over in the middle of the night with a knife, could he?
"Hee~ then Brother Qing Fan, you can sleep a bit during morning reading." Lin Wanning let go, giving him a sweet smile.
"Yeah, I can sleep for half an hour during morning reading and after lessons." Xu Qingfan nodded, truly intending to do just that.
After washing up, Xu Qingfan patted Lin Wanning on the shoulder.
Lin Wanning imdiately understood, holding her toothbrush as she left the bathroom: "Brother Qing Fan, be quick."
"Yeah." Xu Qingfan nodded.
Once Lin Wanning had helped him shut the door, the bathroom soon filled with the sound of running water.
Xu Qingfan leaned forward, trembling a few tis, and was just about to put his pants on when the door opened.
"Brother Qing Fan, I'm coming in...ah!"
With a "bang," the door was shut again.
Xu Qingfan looked down at his state and silently put his trousers on.
"I'm done, Wanning, you continue brushing your teeth." He hung a smile at the corner of his mouth and spoke to the girl standing outside as he opened the door.
"Um... Brother Qing Fan, I thought you... it wasn't on purpose." Lin Wanning, feeling guilty, ducked her head and slipped past his armpit into the bathroom.
Even though Xu Qingfan had seen everything at ho, there was a blanket for modesty, and she herself had her eyes tightly shut like a block of wood.
Having actually seen it with her own eyes, today was still a first.
"Okay, I'm going downstairs first, I'll wait for you there." Xu Qingfan pinched her cheek, suddenly not feeling so sleepy anymore.
"Hee...okay." Lin Wanning's smile was slightly naive.
After Xu Qingfan left, Lin Wanning, now brushing alone, started looking for a reference object in the bathroom, eventually focusing on a used tissue ball.
She grabbed the cylindrical cardboard tube, estimating with her right hand the size she felt last ti and what she had just seen.
"That's not right, duck."
"How did it get smaller?"
Lin Wanning was completely baffled.
[Yiyi would definitely know why!]
"Wanning, what are you doing?"
Lin Wanning's actions at that mont startled Xiao Ruawen, who just happened to pass by the bathroom.
Both hands raised, not to ntion one holding the cardboard tube, the other forming half a heart, and with a pink toothbrush in her mouth, she was staring intently at the mirror.
Not a fool, but close to it.
"Ah...haha... it's Ruan Wen, I...I was being cute, duck." Having co back to her senses, Lin Wanning looked at Xiao Ruawen appearing in the mirror, switching both hands to a 'V' shape.
"Pfft... Wanning, hurry and brush your teeth, it's almost 6:50." Xiao Ruawen twitched her mouth, if she hadn't slept poorly the night before, she would have joined in by now.
After Xiao Ruawen left, Lin Wanning looked at herself in the mirror, awkwardly sticking out her tongue.
Suddenly finding herself quite cute, she changed to wrinkling her nose, baring her teeth, rolling her eyes...
"What are you doing?"
"Ah...I....haha... good morning Xiao Xiao... teehee...."
...
For a family to harmonize, soone always has to carry the weight unseen, and Wu Lingyu was clearly such a person.
Everyone else slept until 6:30, but Yu would wake naturally at 6:00, then go downstairs to prepare breakfast, and only after that start her own morning routine.
"Brother Fan, I saw you didn't sleep well, so I steeped so strong tea in your cup."
"The weather forecast said it's going to rain today, rember to bring an umbrella."
"There's still noodles in the pot, and more can be added if it's not enough."
"Wanning, don't forget to bring your new watercolor pens."
At 6:50 in the morning, everyone sat in the living room eating breakfast, Wu Lingyu thoughtfully had everything each person needed for school ready to go.
Everyone could feel Yu's kindness, a thousand words could be sumd up in one: "Thank you, Yu!"
"Yu is the best!"
Receiving everyone's appreciation, Wu Lingyu was equally happy.
[So really, this family just wouldn't work without anyone!] Xu Qingfan internally sighed.
After breakfast at ho, it was already past seven in the morning, leaving less than eight minutes before the 7:10 morning reading session began.
The six of them didn't even have ti to clean up the dishes and bowls, they put on their shoes, took their school cards, and other items, and ran off to school.
The little brother, puzzled at the two-legged beasts, waited until the living room was empty except for himself, then lightly jumped onto the dining table, licking clean the soup left in the bowls one by one.
"ow~"
After a comfortable yawn, the little brother lay sprawled out on the dining table for a deep sleep.
[You don't allow on the dining table, but little do you know, when you're not here, I always sleep on it!]
.....
Racing against the ringing school bell, Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruawen made it back to the class at the last mont.
It was supposed to be ti for morning reading, but at least a third of the students were already lying down, and the remaining two-thirds were either drowsy or barely whispering.
Even the usually talkative Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang were out of commission, clearly, Xu Qingfan wasn't the only one suffering from holiday syndro.
But there was one exception, seeing Xu Qingfan, the usually listless Wang Xuan imdiately brightened.
"Brother Fan, I've collected your howork." She handed over the howork she had organized by subject to Xu Qingfan.
"Good, thank you." Xu Qingfan squeezed out a smile for her.
