The next morning, Lin Ruoxi came to Gu Muxue's room before dawn.
"Boss?"
"Boss, time to get up," Lin Ruoxi called out, lying on the floor.
Gu Muxue rubbed her drowsy eyes and yawned. Lin Ruoxi had a spare key to her room; she was often woken up this way.
Gu Muxue glanced at the time on her phone. It was only five in the morning. She closed her eyes and murmured, "Ruoxi, what are you doing up so early?"
"Um, you told me to come get him early," Lin Ruoxi answered quietly.
Gu Muxue was instantly wide awake. She suddenly remembered Xue Rui was still in her room. She propped herself up and leaned over the edge of the bed to look.
Lin Ruoxi was lying on her side next to Xue Rui, their faces nearly touching. She was quietly calling him "Boss."
"He's sleeping like a log. You think you can wake him up like that?" Gu Muxue asked in a low voice.
