'But how was she supposed to do that?'

"HAH, HUFF..." Xue Rui gasped for fresh air.
He had been smothered awake.
"Xixi, what are you doing?" Xue Rui asked, his eyes narrowed. 'Was the little lass trying to suffocate me?'
'That's terrifying!'
"I... I'll go make breakfast," Lin Ruoxi said, hastily throwing on her clothes and running to the kitchen.
Xue Rui glanced at the time. It was already past nine in the morning. He subconsciously opened WeChat, groggily intending to send a "good morning" to that girl.
