[Silent Mist Lake – Evening]
"??"
Su Xiaobai, once more rudely awakened by the concept of time, opened his eyes groggily as the sun began to dip behind the distant hills, bathing the lake in a soft golden hue.
"Brother Su! Wake up!"
"Brother~ It's evening already!"
"You asked us to wake you at sunset…"
Four ethereal faces hovered in his vision, each beautiful, framed by soft chestnut hair and delicate green robes fluttering gently in the breeze. Their green eyes gleamed like polished emeralds, reflecting concern—
And confusion.
Su Xiaobai stared for half a second, then huffed.
"And I also told you not to disturb me ever again..."
He turned.
Back to sleep.
"!?"
The four girls were left stunned. Again.
One of them finally muttered with a pout:
"If we don't wake him, we're scolded. If we do wake him, we're still scolded…"
Splash!
A light ripple echoed from the far side of the lake.
