Three in the Morning

When Lu Ning woke up, it was already three in the morning.

She slowly regained consciousness; however, her eyelids were heavy and her mouth was dry.

Lu Ning opened her eyes with some difficulty. Her blurred vision slowly became clear.

It was her room… Her arm felt heavy as though it was weighed down with lead, and she could not move. She exerted some strength and wriggled her fingers.

The next moment, the weight on her instantly vanished. A gentle face suddenly appeared above her, and a pair of big eyes stared at her.

"Sister's awake, Sister's awake! Daddy…"

Before he finished speaking, a thump resounded nearby as if something had fallen.

Lu Jingzhi looked over and asked, "Daddy, are you alright?"

Lu Zhi had fallen asleep on the chair by the bed—he jolted awake with Lu Jingzhi's exclamation, but had forgotten that he was sitting on a chair. So, he lost his balance and fell with the chair.
