Xiao Xiao groggily woke up, opened her eyes for a moment and closed them again.
Then, out of habit, she called out, "Granny."
In the past, this was always her routine, the first thing she did every day was to call out for Granny.
Even though Granny had passed away some time ago, she still kept this habit.
Maybe one day, when she wakes up, her first words won't be Granny.
That might mean she has grown up, or perhaps she has forgotten Granny.
"You're awake? If you're awake, get up, Granny made your favorite bowl of Bo Luo rice noodles."
The groggy Xiao Xiao was startled, quickly opened her eyes wide, and gazed at the kind old lady in front of her.
"Granny." Xiao Xiao tentatively called out.
"Yes." Granny Cui replied with a smile.
"Am I still dreaming?" Xiao Xiao asked groggily.
"Of course not, you're already awake."
Granny Cui spoke, extending her rough and withered hand, gently stroking Xiao Xiao's forehead, tidying up her disheveled bangs.
