「The next morning.」
Li Yuan groggily rubbed his eyes and opened them. He saw that Zhong Tingyue was no longer beside him, though he could faintly hear soft voices coming from the living room.
Li Yuan got out of bed and left the bedroom, where he found Zhong Tingyue. For some reason, her face was flushed red, making her appear very shy. She looked at him and greeted him bashfully, "Li Yuan, you're up?"
"Yeah!" Li Yuan smiled. She seems especially coy right now.
He glanced at Gu Lanxin. I bet my would-be mother-in-law whispered something to her...
Gu Lanxin acted as if nothing was amiss and simply smiled and nodded at Li Yuan, calling out, "Little Li, breakfast is ready. Go freshen up. After you eat, you two can go to school together."
"Okay, sure, Mrs. Gu!" Li Yuan smiled and nodded, trying his best not to stare at her.
