Yueyao woke up from her afternoon nap, and with nothing to do, she picked up a book and lay on the chair to read. May is a good month, neither too cold nor too hot. If conditions permitted, Yueyao would have liked to go out for a walk.
After reading for an hour, Yueyao felt a bit groggy. She thought she was tired from reading, so she put down the book and took a walk in the yard, occasionally looking up at the sky.
The weather was great that day, a cloudless sky of bright blue. The kind of blue that was light, like a piece of blue crystal, giving a very pure feeling.
Yueyao didn't continue reading but went into the studio to paint, capturing the blue sky she just saw.
Halfway through the painting, Yueyao started to feel sleepy. It was strange; she had been feeling drowsy for the past few days. Could she be ill? Yueyao, who took great care of her health, thought that a few days of this surely meant something was wrong: "Xi Yu, go and ask Doctor Zhang to come over."
