Ning Xixi, half-asleep, lay on her side with her phone pressed to her ear, "Hello?"
"Xixi! What time do you think it is? Why aren't you at school yet?" Cheng Youran's voice came through the phone, "The warning bell has already rung. If you don't come soon, it'll be marked as absent!"
Ning Xixi held the phone in front of her eyes for a look. Oh my God! It's 8:20!
Oh no! She overslept!
All traces of sleep vanished instantly. She said with a bitter face, "Youran, help me take a leave, okay? I'll be there in a bit!"
With that, she hung up the phone without hearing what Cheng Youran said next...
"Hey, hey? I meant, if you're not coming, don't bother coming..."
...
After freshening up, Ning Xixi went downstairs with her backpack, only to find that the house was empty.
