It's time to go to school," Miaomiao's crisp voice rang out from beyond the door. Ansheng sat up in bed, looking completely blank and dazed, his brain not fully booted up yet. Who? Why did Miaomiao come here to wake me up? "I'm coming in! Make, make sure you're dressed!" After a few seconds of silence, as if the girl outside had finally mustered her psychological defenses, With a soft creak, the bedroom door was pushed open. A rush of cold air immediately made Ansheng shrink his neck, jolting him back to his senses. Miaomiao was wearing a thick navy blue coat and a black pleated skirt. On her legs, she appeared to be wearing thermal fleece-lined skin-colored leggings with black over-the-knee socks, making them look slender and graceful. A white-and-gray scarf was wrapped around her neck, she wore the pair of white gloves Ansheng had given her, and she tightly clutched a black handbag in her hands.

The two stared at each other in a battle of wits, neither speaking first.
