"It's getting late, I need to go for a run. You keep sleeping," Chu Jin pried off the hand around her waist, got out of bed, found a set of sportswear from the closet, and went to the washroom to change.

She moved quickly, brushing her teeth and washing her face in just 15 minutes.

When she came out of the washroom, Mr. Mo was still sleeping in bed. Chu Jin tiptoed downstairs, then jogged to the community garden to run.

The morning air was very fresh.

The garden was still filled with a light fragrance of flowers.

There were also many elderly men and women exercising.

Occasionally, one could hear the chirping of birds, which was quite rare in the bustling downtown area.
