The Presidential suite on USS America.
Xiao Man barely slept, as she awoke when Li Sinian got up.
Even with her eyes closed, she was already conscious.
He got up without turning on the light, for fear of disturbing her sleep perhaps.
Xiao Man had a reasonably regular bio clock, so by the level of grogginess, she knew it was still early.
Slowly opening her eyes, she found the light in the room was indeed dim.
It must have been around five in the morning.
When Li Sinian put on his clothes and turned to see, he noticed that she was up.
"Are you leaving?" Xiao Man spoke first.
Her voice was rather hoarse in the early morning.
Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door outside the bedroom, speaking in Spanish suggesting it was time to go.
Li Sinian walked to the bed, bent over and kissed Xiao Man's forehead, "Wait for me to return."
"Mmm," Xiao Man blinked a few times as a nod, "Be careful."
