Early morning, 3:30 AM, Tang Yue heard Zhang Hualian calling her to get up while she was still in a daze, rubbing her eyes that hadn't woken up yet, she asked, "What time is it?"
"It's 3:30 now, the bus is at 4:00. Although the station is close by, don't you still need to wash up and get dressed?" Zhang Hualian knew she was going with her to stock up and hadn't slept well all night.
She gently got up several times, went to the living room to check the time, until she woke up at 3:00, and Zhang Hualian, fearing she would miss the time, never fell back asleep.
In the morning, there were baozi to make, so Zhang Hualian simply started heating water early, and when it was 3:30, she began calling for Tang Yue.
