Going back to the sleeping person...

The group of young ladies continued to tinker around, their hands swiftly weaving flowers into intricate patterns. What started as a mere decoration for the deck chair had now transformed into a full-blown floral display, with petals and stems carefully placed in every nook and cranny.

Jin Wei was buried in such a floral frenzy.

The cat had long been awakened by the noise and lazily watched them play around. It swayed its tail slowly, sneezing a bit from the pollen being dispersed in the wind. The ladies giggled, unable to resist the feeling of glee after seeing such an adorable thing.

One of the girls leaned in close to Jin Wei's sister, her voice hushed. "Does your brother ever wake up? I swear, he's been asleep this whole time!"

The other girls giggled in agreement, their eyes darting over to the motionless figure. Jin Wei's sister let out a small chuckle, shaking her head. "Oh, he's always like this. My brother hates the heat. It just makes him want to sleep all day."

"He's a bit odd, isn't he?" another girl piped up. "Most people get sleepy in the winter, not the summer!"

The little sister considered this for a moment before responding, "Actually, my brother is lazy all year round. He just despises anything that requires physical exertion."

The girls exchanged amused glances, their fingers still deftly arranging the vibrant blooms. The children of the Jin Clan all nodded in agreement as they discussed the idiosyncrasies of their beloved Boss Jin. He was, indeed, the epitome of laziness.

If he could sit, he would not stand. If he could lie down, he would not sit. He had no interest in traveling unless it was absolutely necessary. But despite his aversion to exertion, if his siblings needed him, Jin Wei would not hesitate to lend a helping hand.

As they were in the midst of extolling the virtues of Jin Wei, the man in question suddenly let out a loud sneeze, causing the little maidens to jump and giggle uncontrollably. They scattered like a flock of birds, their sweet laughter ringing in the air.

The only one left behind was Jin Wei's youngest sibling, who watched as her older brother slowly sat up from his slumber, his eyes bleary and his face contorted in confusion.

"Are you okay, Brother?" she asked, looking at Jin Wei with smiling eyes.

Jin Wei rubbed his nose and groggily replied, "Something made me sneeze."

The little sister nodded sympathetically, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Maybe it's time for you to take a break from your nap, Brother," she teased. "You have been sleeping more than the cat!"

Jin Wei raised an eyebrow as he looked down at his clothes, which he discovered were adorned with a colorful array of flowers and leaves. He couldn't help but laugh at the sight, shaking his head in disbelief.

"No wonder I sneezed. You made me a make-shift flower vase." He glanced at his laughing sister. "Anyway, weren't you guys drawing flowers? Are you done?"

She smiled back at him, her eyes twinkling mischievously. "We finished drawing already," she explained. "But you were sleeping so soundly, we didn't want to wake you up."

Jin Wei chuckled, rubbing his itchy nose. "I guess I was in the middle of a good nap," he said with a shrug. "But don't think you can get away with this just because I'm lazy. You should be grateful that I even took you and your friends here in the first place."

His little sister nodded, her expression turning serious.

"We are grateful, Brother," she said earnestly. "Let's play again with the others the next time."
