Sunlight spilled through the gap in the curtains.
A rustling sound woke a groggy Lin Jiang. It was Xu Lin getting up.
Lin Jiang squinted, glancing at his phone.
"It's just past five and you're already up?"
"I have to take Xuanxuan to school. It's still early, so you can sleep a while longer."
Xu Lin bent down, picked up her bra from the floor, and slipped her arms into the straps.
"I don't have time to make you breakfast today. You're on your own."
"I'll go."
Lin Jiang stopped Xu Lin, pulled her bra off, and tossed it toward the door.
"I'm an idle man now, and you have to take care of the shop. If you get up this early, you'll be exhausted during the day. I should be the one to go."
Xu Lin froze, surprised that Lin Jiang would say such a thing.
"I just want you to get some more rest."
Lin Jiang sat up in bed. "I'm well-rested. A little physical labor like this is nothing to me."
