Early the next morning, Ye Ling awoke as usual with her biological clock, while the dormitory was quiet. She pulled aside the curtain to see the other four people still asleep. Ye Ling quietly took her basin and headed out, running into Zhang Zhenlian, who had also woken up early, by the water tap outside.
Indeed, Zhang Zhenlian's washbasin had seen better days, with the paint nearly flaked off, revealing the iron underneath. Seeing Ye Ling, Zhang Zhenlian smiled and waved, moving her basin aside.
Ye Ling filled her basin and walked over, "Why are you up so early?"
