At this moment, a knock on the door sounded from outside, waking her up as well.
She woke up from her dream, with a tear still lingering at the corner of her eye.
"An Ruo, can I come in?" Xingtian called to her from outside the door.
She seemed as if she hadn't heard, her thoughts still lingering in the dream. Who were the man and child in the dream, and why did they feel so familiar to her?
Were they people she knew?
"An Ruo, what are you doing? I'm coming in."
An Ruo snapped back to reality, closed her sketchbook, and got up to open the door.
Xingtian asked her in confusion, "What were you doing? Why was there no response just now?"
"I fell asleep at the desk," she explained.
The man smiled gently, "Don't sleep at the desk in the future; it's not good for your health."
"Mm, I know." An Ruo nodded, "Did you need something?"
"It's time to eat."
"Oh."
The man took her hand and led her downstairs. Seeing her dazed expression, he said indulgently, "Still not fully awake?"
