Waking up the panda

Yu Chen woke up the next day all sleepy. She wanted to open her eyes but they seemed to be made of stone.

Chen turned a little and found an arm tightening around her waist. She was struck with horror before she remembered who it was. Yu Chen felt a warm chest hugging her back under the covers.

She snuggled closer to the warmth and settled down to sleep once again.

But her movements had woken up Si Xia. He kissed Chen's back of the neck and whispered, "Good morning."

"Not now. Not yet." Yu Chen mumbled.

Si Xia: "..." He had expected a warm smile and a good morning, but seemed like his panda didn't even want to get up.

Si Xia landed repeated kisses on Chen's neck and head until she turned around, eyes barely opening. Xia was sure Chen would wake up now, but she snuggled her head into his sweatshirt, breathing deeply and then falling asleep again.

Si Xia chuckled to himself. "So, sleeping beauty. Do I have to kiss you awake?" He whispered in her ear.

Yu Chen snuggled deeper into his sweatshirt, "This sleeping beauty doesn't want to wake up."

Si Xia: "...." As he was feeling helpless about what to do, a devilish idea struck him.

Si Xia smirked before he licked and bit Chen's ear.

Yu Chen's eyes flew open, "God damnit!!! You actually bit me!?!?"

Si Xia planted a light kiss on her lips before saying, "Good morning."

Yu Chen mumbled as her eyes began to close again, "Good night."

Si Xia: "..."

Si Xia sighed to herself as he bit Chen's ear again. Yu Chen slapped his mouth away and mumbled, "I'm up. I'm up."

Si Xia smiled in satisfaction as Yu Chen sat up and stretched. She then turned towards Si Xia and gave him a deep kiss before getting up.

Yu Chen said as she walked towards the door, "You want something to eat before we go running?"

Si Xia sat up and yawned, "What do you guys have?"

Yu Chen waved her hand, "Raid the kitchen."

As Chen came out after freshing up, she was still a little sleepy and had closed her eyes with her chin supported on her hand when Si Xia tapped her shoulder a slid a bowl towards her.

Yu Chen opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Wow!!! Great."

Si Xia had cut up some fruits and mixed them together to create a fruit salad.

Si Xia smiled as he went towards the bathroom, "I'll go freshen up. You start."

When he came out, Xia saw Yu Chen in the same position he had left her, the only difference being that now she had her phone in her hand.

Xia sat down, "Why didn't you start?"

Yu Chen put down her phone, "I was waiting for you."

As the two ate, Yu Chen said, "Say, can I get a car and a driver tomorrow? Around six o'clock in the evening."

Si Xia looked up, "Sure. Did something happen?"

Yu Chen: "Not really. You remember Sam?" When Si Xia gave no look of recognition, Yu Chen added, "Sam? Samuel Darcy? The one who won that competition and gave me his scholarship?"

"Ohhhh, yeah. What about him." Si Xia said, going back to his fruits.

Yu Chen scratched her chin, "Well, he is coming to China tomorrow. And I wanted to go pick him up."
