The next morning, Jiang Silu was woken by the bright sunlight.
The sun in Yangcheng was much more diligent than in Jinling. It was only a little past seven, but it was already hanging brightly in the sky, slipping into the room through the gap in the curtains.
She rolled over and pulled the blanket over her head. After stewing for a moment, she peeked out and squinted at her phone.
No new messages.
She shoved her phone under the pillow, rolled over again, and faced the wall.
'Her mind started racing with thoughts of the day ahead.'
'Dad said he was going to take them out somewhere, but I wonder where.'
Lost in thought, she finally sat up, leaned against the headboard, and stretched languidly.
A noise came from the living room, followed by Lu Fan's voice. "Time to get up. I'm taking you all somewhere today."
Jiang Silu froze for a second, then quickly jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes, and pulled open her door.
