The next morning.

If it weren't for setting the alarm in advance, Xie Shu felt he wouldn't have been able to get up this morning.

When the alarm rang, he forced himself to get up, wash up, and then checked his phone for nearby breakfast spots, preparing to go out and buy breakfast.

Before heading downstairs, he called Ruan Nianxi next door. He originally wanted to tell her she could get up and wash up now, and that breakfast would be ready soon. But when he called, Ruan Nianxi said she was already done washing up.
