"Hey, sleepyhead, wake up."
Drowsily, she heard a familiar voice calling to her, accompanied by a persistent tapping on her cheek.
Erica's eyelids twitched. With great effort, she pried them open. Through the narrowest of slits, she saw a familiar face and thought for a moment that she must be dreaming.
Seeing how much she was struggling, Lin Chen was amused and used his thumb and forefinger to pry her eyelids open.
"Wake up! No more sleeping!"
"...Huh?"
The very real sensation finally brought her slowly to her senses.
When she realized Lin Chen had actually traveled all this way to see her, her face lit up with incredulous joy. She flung her arms around his neck and planted a hard kiss on him.
Jin Meiyan, standing just a few meters away, watched the scene unfold. Her lips twitched, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
'How is this so different from what I imagined? So much for subtlety... Is this it?'
