One person lay in the guest room all night, only falling asleep hazily as dawn approached.
When she woke up, she realized she was awakened by hunger.
There was a faint aroma of food lingering in the air...
She grabbed her phone and took a glance; the time displayed was eleven in the morning.
Zhang Lingying was instantly jolted awake and sat up with a jerk, hurriedly preparing to call the lab to ask for leave.
The call hadn't gone through when her peripheral vision caught the date display on the phone screen.
Beneath the date was a line showing Saturday.
Zhang Lingying paused, laid back in bed again, and grabbed a pillow to cover her face.
Secretly cursing her foolishness.
She actually forgot there's no work on weekends.
"Gurgle—"
Jobs have days off; stomachs do not.
Zhang Lingying couldn't stay in bed any longer, and hunger drove her to sit up again.
Her muddled brain also started to clear up.
