It's not too late to meet in the book

At six in the morning, the sky was just beginning to turn pale, and a faint ray of sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, stubbornly pouring into Lei Xiaoyue's room. The air in the room still seemed to carry a hint of the night's chill, but Lei Xiaoyue was curled up in her warm bed, sound asleep.

Wang Jing was already up, dressed in light home clothes, her hair tied back in a simple bun, her face a hint of excitement at her upcoming trip. She walked into the kitchen and expertly brewed a pot of hot tea, then carried the cup into Lei Xiaoyue's room. The room was filled with a familiar, warm atmosphere—the smell of home.

"Xiaoyue, get up, we're going to Songshan for fun." Wang Jing called softly. She walked to the bedside and gently pushed Lei Xiaoyue's shoulder. Lei Xiaoyue only moved slightly, mumbled a few words, and said vaguely: "Mom, let me sleep a little longer, it's still early."

Wang Jing shook her head helplessly. She knew Lei Xiaoyue was a lazy sleeper, but today was the day their family of four, plus their good friend Su Xiaoxiao, were going on a trip together, so she absolutely couldn't be late. She glanced at the bedside clock, which had already reached half past six, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Xiaoyue, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to go to Songshan to watch the sunrise? If you don't get up now, you will miss it." Wang Jing tried to persuade Lei Xiaoyue again, but Lei Xiaoyue just turned over, turned his back to her, and continued to sleep.

In desperation, Wang Jing pulled out her phone and called Lei Nuo. Lei Nuo was Lei Xiaoyue's older brother, currently working out of town, but he always managed to surprise and help his family at crucial moments. Lei Nuo's voice on the other end of the line was a hint of sleepiness, clearly having been woken by the early call.

"Hey, Mom, what's up so early?" Renault asked.

"Your sister won't get out of bed. You'd better think of a solution quickly." Wang Jing said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Lei Nuo immediately perked up. He knew that what Lei Xiaoyue feared most was his "unique way of coaxing people." So, he cleared his throat and began his performance on the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Yue, guess who I am? I am a little monkey in the forest, squeak, squeak, come and play with me!" Renault imitated the little monkey's call, his voice was funny and vivid.

Lei Xiaoyue moved in the bed, as if attracted by the sound, but then fell into a deep sleep again. Seeing this, Renault immediately changed his approach.

"Xiaoyue, let me tell you a joke. One day, a little ant got lost and saw his friend and shouted, 'Brother, how are you getting back to the ant nest?' Hahaha..." Renault's laughter echoed on the other end of the phone, but Lei Xiaoyue just frowned slightly and still had no intention of getting up.

Wang Jing watched from the side, feeling both amused and helpless. She knew that although Lei Nuo's coaxing method was unique, it sometimes didn't work on Lei Xiaoyue. Just as she was about to give up and forcefully drag Lei Xiaoyue out of bed, Lei Xiaoyue finally moved.

She sat up sleepily, her hair tangled on her shoulders, her face full of reluctance. She rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Getting up so early is killing me."

Seeing this, Wang Jing immediately seized the opportunity and said to Lei Xiaoyue while helping her make the bed, "Okay, okay, I know you've worked hard. But today is our trip to Songshan, we can't miss it."

Lei Xiaoyue pouted but nodded reluctantly. Yawning, she began to get dressed. Wang Jing anxiously helped her pack, fearing she'd forgotten anything.

At this time, Su Xiaoxiao also walked into the room. She was wearing a pair of casual jeans and a loose T-shirt, with a smile on her face. She was relieved to see Lei Xiaoyue finally get up.

"Xiaoyue, you finally got up. I was worried that we would be late." Su Xiaoxiao said, and began to help Lei Xiaoyue check the luggage to confirm whether she had brought all the necessities.

Lin Yuxuan stood at the door, backpack on his back, occasionally glancing at Lei Xiaoyue. He was Lei Xiaoyue's classmate and good friend, and they were traveling together to Mount Songshan. Seeing Lei Xiaoyue get up, a smile crossed his face.

"Xiao Yue, hurry up, we can't let you hold us back alone." Lin Yuxuan urged.

Lei Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at him, but her movements quickened. She knew this trip was of great significance to her, and she didn't want to miss any of the wonderful moments by staying in bed.

The room was a mess, with Lei Xiaoyue's quilt on the floor and clothes scattered everywhere. Wang Jing paced anxiously around the room, talking on the phone while watching her daughter, who was still in bed. She kept urging Lei Xiaoyue to clean up quickly and not to leave anything behind.

Su Xiaoxiao was in the living room checking her luggage, carefully checking the list to make sure every item was in place. Her face was serious and focused, as if she was carrying out an important task.

Lin Yuxuan stood at the door, carrying his schoolbag, his eyes constantly glancing at his watch. He knew time was running out, but he didn't want to put too much pressure on Lei Xiaoyue. So, he chose a relaxed way to urge her: "Xiaoyue, if you don't hurry up, we're going to leave you behind."

Lei Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she heard this. She quickened her pace to pack up, and at the same time, she didn't forget to complain a little: "Really, getting up so early is killing me."

But despite her complaints, Lei Xiaoyue quickly packed up her things. She followed Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao out of the room, with Lin Yuxuan following closely behind. The four of them hurried to the door, ready to leave.
