Chapter 66: A Morning at Yu Shengs Home
Yu Sheng woke up to find Irene sprawled out at the foot of his bed, limbs splayed in all directions. Her picture frame rested on the bedside table, leaning against the wall.
He sighed. Last night, he hadn’t managed to get this doll to leave—mainly because every time he tried to carry her to the door, she would kick up such a fuss that it gave him a headache.
Sighing deeply again, Yu Sheng noticed that Irene showed no signs of waking up. He stretched out his foot and nudged her twice.
“Time to get up. If you don’t, I’ll take your picture frame away and let you sleep back in the painting.”
Irene finally stirred, slowly sitting up. With her hair a tangled mess and eyes half-closed, she looked at him. “Good morning… hey…”
“Morning? It’s almost noon!” Yu Sheng suppressed the urge to kick this troublesome doll off the bed. “Do you know how many times you rolled around last night?! You’re a doll; it’s strange enough that you need to sleep, but how can you sleep so restlessly?!”
“I don’t know… yawn…” Irene rubbed her eyes, stretching lazily while muttering, “Don’t be so grumpy. I’m so pretty, and you’re still not happy sharing a room with me…”
Yu Sheng broke into a cold sweat, looking at this tiny being no more than a few centimeters tall, feeling his temples throb. “You’ve got a big ego for someone so small. Do you even know what you’re saying?”
Irene didn’t seem to care at all. With her hair still disheveled, she crawled up to him, lowered her head boldly, and said matter-of-factly, “Help me brush my hair.”
