The military bugle sounded in the early morning, and Zhou Jiao opened her eyes to look at Zhao Yuanyuan and Ping'an sleeping soundly beside her. She saw the two were undisturbed like a thunderstorm, and shook her head with a smile.
Despite this, Zhou Jiao quietly climbed down from the kang, careful not to disturb their good dreams. After washing up, she stepped out the door, greeted immediately by the biting cold.
Winter is not a pleasant season. As such, Zhang Guoqing and his two friends were walking on campus, braving the cold wind and trudging through thick snow, which was truly uncomfortable.
Upon entering the living room, Zhou Jiao noticed a pair of her father's shoes missing. Seeing that he had already gone out to exercise, Zhou Jiao shrugged regrettably and turned to the kitchen.
"Auntie, please heat up more steamed buns and mantou. Xiao Wu might bring classmates back later."
"Sure, I'll also make some porridge."
