Early on the third day, Han Wenwen was woken by her alarm clock.
She opened her eyes, shook the thermometer from her nightstand, and placed it under her arm. Then, she climbed out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

Even for a little fox as well-versed in the game of love as she was, there are moments when a crush feels new. No girl wants the boy she likes to see her at her worst.

She also wet her comb with a little water to smooth out her hair and used a facial cleanser to make her skin look more hydrated.
