Gu Ning glanced at the messy lines in the textbook. "..."
Alex said, "If you're tired, we can skip class today."
Gu Ning quickly wrote in his textbook: Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night.
Alex took the pen and textbook from his hands and set them aside. "If you're sleepy, go rest in my room."
Without waiting for Gu Ning to write a response, he added, "You still have work hours to make up. Including the half-day you took off last time, you'll have to work the night shift for the next three days."
Hearing this, Gu Ning finally remembered that he had to make up for the hours he'd taken off.
He sighed internally and slumped onto the desk.
"Don't sleep here," Alex said. "You need to be well-rested to work properly. I won't dock your hours. You can start working with Kloer whenever you wake up."
"Eat lunch first." Alex checked the time. It was just past eleven, not quite lunchtime yet, but if he was going to sleep, there was no telling when he'd wake up.
