"I'm back... just went out to play badminton with classmates for a while."
With a clear and beautiful voice echoing at the entrance, Bai Qiuwu, dressed in Huanjing Third High School's uniform, took off her sneakers and socks by the shoe rack, stepped through the entryway, and set her backpack down in a corner of the living room.
Then she walked over to the sofa, reached from behind to gently pinch Ke Mingye's shoulder.
"Today, our little sloth is up so early," she said in a drawn-out voice, "Starting the first day of school without waiting for your big sister?"
"Who could wait for you? You're always impossible to wake up and still expect others to wait for you?"
Ke Mingye said without looking away from the TV, as he popped a piece of chewing gum into his mouth.
Bai Qiuwu just laughed it off, thinking to herself that she had caught a gang member the night before, and it might indeed have been impossible for Ke Mingye to wake her up this morning.
