In the early morning, a ray of sunlight like a playful sprite leaped lightly into the room. It danced merrily in the air like golden threads weaving a dreamlike dance of light and shadow, and like a curious child jumping back and forth on Liu Feng's body as if playing with him.
Liu Feng woke slowly from his slumber as usual. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, which still held lingering traces of sleepiness. Then he stretched, his joints seeming to awaken with the stretch, letting out a faint cracking sound. However, the moment he turned over and saw the situation in the room, he shrieked in sudden fright, "Ah..." This abrupt scream instantly shattered the morning peace.
Xu Lin was also startled awake by the sudden scream, a surge of anger rising in his heart. He snapped his eyes open, glared furiously at Liu Feng, and barked, "Why are you screaming so loud? Are you trying to scare me to death?" His eyes revealed a trace of dissatisfaction, but even more of the helplessness of being rudely awakened.
