Xiao Ran, who was sick yesterday and slept a lot, woke up early today feeling a bit thirsty, but since it was still dark, he frowned slightly and decided to bear it, not wanting to disturb his older siblings.
However, his lips were really dry, and his throat felt fiercely uncomfortable, prompting him to try swallowing saliva to alleviate the dryness, but it seemed ineffective.
Finally determined, he decided to get up for some water, planning to do it as quietly as possible.
He wanted to fetch the matches from the bedside table drawer to light a candle, yet because the drawer was heavy, he couldn't pull it open at first. Increasing his effort, he "whooshed" and got himself thrown off balance, falling off the bed.
Thinking that he was about to smash his nose flat, Xiao Ran suddenly closed his eyes but was caught by a strong hand in the next moment.
"Snap!" The room was instantly lit in orange.
Upon seeing the person holding him, Xiao Ran widened his mouth in disbelief.
