"Uwaaaaaaah!"
Hu Tao yawned and stretched in her red-satin sheets.
The short girl slid out of her bed. It was 5:02 am and she couldn't go back to sleep. Of course, she was tired, so off she went to her kitchen to serve herself a hot mug of milk tea.
She decided at this time just to scroll through Flitter until it was time for her to get ready for school.
Hu Tao inherited the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor at the age of 13, but doesn't have enough time to run the parlor fully. Due to this, Zhongli—the parlor's consultant—mainly handles parlor affairs.
The young director also lives on the top floor of the parlor, having nowhere else to go. The sound of constant sobbing on the bottom floor doesn't do well for the high-schooler's rest. In fact, this led to her developing insomnia over time due to her bad sleep schedule.
Soon enough, it was 6:30 am and time for Hu Tao to get ready for school.
The girl put on her school uniform and a bucket hat and packed her backpack before toasting two pieces of bread and heading to school.
It wasn't a long walk to Liyue Academy, so the trip was only 10 minutes or so.
Soon enough, Hu Tao arrived to school. It was October 15th, a month after school started. This was the girl's senior year—her last year in grade school.
As she walked in her homeroom and sat in her seat, Xingqiu greeted her.
"Morning, Tao! How are you today?" The blue-haired boy smiled as he greeted his friend.
"Doing good!" Hu Tao responded cheerfully. "Although, I didn't really sleep well..."
Xingqiu sighed with concern. "You need to see Dr. Baizhu, I'm sure he has medications that can aid with sleeping."
"Eh, no need to bother him. He's already doing lots of work taking care of little Qiqi."
"Well, at least stop by the pharmacy, pick up some over-the-counter meds."
Hu Tao yawned silently, covering her mouth with her hand.
"I'll think on it," she replied.
The teacher sat up from his seat and pointed to his board. "It's time for class, so everyone quiet down."
"Now, today we're going to be going over differentiability..."
