When Su Junxin was awakened by her alarm clock, she was still bleary-eyed and disoriented.
Her mind was still foggy, somewhat fatigued, as if she had been dreaming non-stop all night long.
She extended her hand and touched the Smart Home Robot that sat on her bedside table. The alarm was automatically silenced, and the curtains gradually opened, bathing the room in morning light.
Sea City had impressive green spaces. The hotel courtyard was filled with trees, one of which stood right outside Su Junxin's window, its dense foliage luminescent in a dark green that resembled a fluffy cloud.
Even though it was already November, she could faintly hear the melodious chirping of birds.
Xiaoyou poked her head out from under the covers, rubbed her eyes with her front paws, and let out a small "meow" as she looked at Su Junxin.
"Good morning, Xiaoyou."
