The next morning, Jiang Silu was woken up by Wen Wan.
"Silu, get up. Your auntie asked us to go help at the flower shop." Wen Wan stood by the bed, already dressed and ready. Her hair was tied in a low ponytail, and she wore a light gray sweatshirt, a slightly sheepish smile on her face.
Jiang Silu rolled over and pulled the covers over her head, her voice muffled. "Just five more minutes."
So Wen Wan sat down beside her, waiting patiently.
Jiang Silu peeked out from under the covers, squinted at Wen Wan, and sighed before sitting up.
She rubbed her eyes, her hair a total mess. "Sister Wen Wan, why are you up so early?" she mumbled.
"I'm used to it," Wen Wan said with a smile. "I get up around this time in the dorms, too."
Jiang Silu shuffled in her slippers to the bathroom, and Wen Wan waited for her by the door. Once they were both ready, they left the house together.
The mornings in Yangcheng were pleasant, with a hint of humidity in the air.
