The next morning at 5:50, the alarm clock rang on time, and the cell phone pressed under the pillow kept vibrating. Zhao Zhao reached under the pillow and fumbled around for a while. He took out the cell phone in a daze and subconsciously turned it off.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, I felt drowsy and thought I had forgotten something...

Hmm? Xiao He?

Zhao Zhao woke up in shock from his dying dream, checked his phone, and saw it was five fifty-five. He heaved a sigh of relief, got up, washed, and dressed.

Cheng Sui'an's sleep quality in bed was still very good. No noise disturbed him. Zhao Zhao covered him with a quilt and hurried downstairs.

It was just dawn outside. In the morning light, Xiao He lowered his head and stared at his phone motionlessly. From Zhao Zhao's perspective, she could actually see a hint of loneliness in him.

"Xiao He."

Finally hearing this voice, Xiao He immediately looked up at Zhao Zhao who was running towards him, a flash of joy in his eyes, but the next second he said in a cold voice, "You made me wait for nearly ten minutes."

His stern face was expressionless, giving people an unapproachable feeling.

Zhao Zhao smiled sheepishly, "I'll come down earlier next time."

"Yeah." Although Xiao He had a cold face, he was actually not angry at all towards Zhao Zhao, the well-behaved child. He just had a cold face out of habit.

The two of them started running without saying a word. After only running for more than ten minutes, Zhao Zhao slowly stopped with sweat all over his forehead. He was really weak.

"Xiao...Xiao He." Zhao Zhao reached out to pull Xiao He's sleeve and asked him to stop and rest for a while. As a result, the man in front turned his head and saw that the distance between them was getting closer, so he suddenly took a big step back.

"Stay away from me." Xiao He said subconsciously, but he couldn't help but reflect on whether he was going too far.

Zhao Zhao didn't have a bad temper. He really stepped back and said in a weak voice, "Can I rest for a while?"

"Yeah." Xiao He felt a little embarrassed for having been so harsh on Zhao Zhao just now. Zhao Zhao agreed to everything he said now. "Just jog for another ten minutes, and then you can go back."

He originally wanted Zhaozhao to run for an hour, but looking at his thin arms and legs, he decided to shorten the time temporarily.

"Thank God." Zhao Zhao wiped the sweat off his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao He silently taking a few steps back. He couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao He, has your mysophobia been this severe since childhood?"

So far, he has never seen Xiao He have physical contact with anyone.

Xiao He nodded, as if he didn't want to say anything more.

There was nothing to talk about between the two of them. After running for another ten minutes, Zhao Zhao and Xiao He returned to their respective rooms in silence.

Compared to Zhao Zhao who was covered in sweat, Xiao He was particularly dry.

As Xiao He was taking a bath, he couldn't help but think of the boy who seemed to have been fished out of the water, "His health was too poor."

He pursed his lips in thought, thinking that the running task was a long way to go.

When Cheng Sui'an opened his eyes at eight o'clock, he subconsciously touched the side, but the bed there was cold. Obviously Zhao Zhao was not lying next to him. His eyes immediately opened wide, and he woke up immediately more effectively than an alarm clock.

"Zhao Zhao?"

He sat up in a daze and found Zhao Zhao lying crookedly on the sofa next to him, as if he was asleep.

"Fuck, why are you lying here?" He walked over and squatted beside Zhao Zhao, poked his fair face, and said with a smile, "Zhao Zhao, can't you find your bed after sleepwalking?"

Zhao Zhao regained consciousness a little, raised her hand and hugged Cheng Sui'an's neck affectionately, "An'an, I feel like I'm dying of exhaustion."

"Huh? I went hiking in my dream?" Cheng Sui'an didn't know that Zhao Zhao had just come back from a run, and he was still in the mood to joke. Zhao Zhao just smiled and said nothing more, "Go wash up, then go downstairs to eat."

"Huh?" When he reached the bathroom door, Cheng Sui'an realized belatedly that Zhao Zhao was sitting on the sofa in a daze and hadn't followed him. He lowered his gaze and finally noticed Zhao Zhao had put on her clothes. He asked in surprise, "Zhao Zhao, you got up so early?"

"What are you doing up so early?"

Zhao Zhao was dejected and said, "Exercise."

Cheng Sui'an burst out laughing, "You look like you stayed up all night, not like you exercised."

Zhao Zhao thought it was funny, and what he said was really right.

At half past eight, when Zhao Zhao was sitting on the sofa looking at her mobile phone, the door was knocked on the room on time, and then Yu Xingli opened the door.

"Huh? You got up so early today?" He saw Zhao Zhao lying on the sofa and walked towards him with a smile.

In the past, at this time, he would come over to wake up Zhao Zhao and Cheng Sui'an, the two people who had difficulty getting up. But today, the sun was rising from the west, and neither of them stayed in bed.

He sat down heavily on the sofa and threw himself on Zhao Zhao, rubbing his face. "Zhao Zhao was really great today. He didn't stay in bed."

The tone of coaxing a child made Zhao Zhao smile. They were all like this, as if they always treated him as a child.

…

During the days when Zhao Zhao was fully immersed in training, Cheng Sui'an was also preparing to leave. He was terrible at dancing and often slipped out in the middle of a dance.

But on this day, after Cheng Suian slipped out again, Zhao Zhao looked at the door from time to time, but there was no sign of Cheng Shulan, who would sneak in again with a cunning smile on his face because he was lazy.

"Zhao Zhao!"

Zhao Zhao shuddered and quickly turned around to find Xiao He looking at him seriously. "What's wrong with you? You made a wrong move again!"

Now is the free practice time, Xiao He specially took time out to help him consolidate his practice.

Zhao Zhao had a bad feeling about Cheng Sui'an not coming back, and was very concerned about his movements. He raised his hand weakly and asked, "Xiao He, can I go out now?"

Xiao He was surprised. "You want to leave after I say a few words to you?"

Zhao Zhao waved her hands quickly, but Xiao He ignored her and said, "Let's finish practicing this dance first."
