Wu Han Ying fell asleep very late last night, in fact, he really did not know when he fell asleep; he kept on tossing and turning what felt like the whole night. In short, as long as he thought about riding back to school on Sunday in Professor Xia's car...his sleepiness would evaporate and then he just laid in bed wide awake. It was not due to excitement, more like feeling troubled...

When he opened his eyes the next morning it was already past 9 o'clock, since there wasn't a computer in his room and he didn't bring his laptop home, he could not think of things to do at home. He came to the conclusion that he would most likely end up watching TV and reading some books. So he decided to roll cover himself with the quilt and continue sleeping.

He did not get to sleep for even a few minutes more before he was awakened...

Wu Ning ran outside and as her bare-feet made contact with the wooden floor she made a loud "thump thump thump" sound. While she was running she started to scream in a loud voice; when she made it to his door she knocked "bang bang bang" onto the door and shouted, "Brother, get up! Come out and draw with me!"

Wu Han Ying was extremely thankful that he was smart enough to lock the door last night. He finally got up and went to wash up. When he passed the door to the "landowner's" room he noticed it was still shut tight; Wu Ning's parents loved to sleep in during their off days, they would not wake up until it was noon. Their grandma was preparing lunch in the kitchen, while trying to coax Wu Ning.

"Ning Ning, your brother is up now, go out and play with your brother. You'll get burned if you stay in here. Eh! Don't touch the meat! Take her out and draw with her."

Wu Han Ying's mouth unconsciously twitched as he held the mouthwash cup and toothbrush in his hands; he replied nonchalantly and then went back to the bathroom to wash his face first.

He had just started brushing his teeth when he heard Wu Ning banging loudly on the bathroom door, such a strong knock. Wu Han Ying pretended not to hear it as he bowed down to continue brushing his teeth.

Outside, Wu Ning still knocked on the bathroom door, but it wouldn't open so she kept on knocking, "Open the door, open the door, draw with me!"

"I'm washing my face, give me a minute." Wu Han Ying was quite annoyed at the loud banging as he replied from behind the door. The other side was also pretending to not hear and continued banging on the door.

Wu Han Ying accepted his unfortunate fate as he quickly washed his face and then wiped it in a flash. Wu Ning held up a bunch of plain white pieces of drawing paper in one hand, in her other hand she clutched onto a few boxes of drawing markers; some uncapped ones were precariously held outside the boxes. Once she saw him coming out, she immediately shoved them all at him.

Without thinking, Wu Han Ying reached out his hand to grab the items, during the exchange some of the pens clattered onto the floor; there was a red and green pen that was uncapped, he was unlucky enough to get their ink on his shirt.

He walked up to the small coffee table and dropped all the materials onto it and then let her start drawing. Honestly speaking, to accompany his younger cousin to drawing had always been a torturous chore, mainly you're not supposed to do anything at all. If you say you will draw a picture with her, she would reach out and take away your pen saying that you are only making a mess and then tell you to sit still to watch her draw. If you sit on the side just watching her draw, she would push a pen to you and tell you to draw with her...
