Meng Yiran and Jiang Zhu abruptly opened their eyes. What greeted them was a campfire that was nearly burned out, and each other.
"Ah!"
Both of them were startled by the other. At that moment, Bai Yu, who had been sitting near the outer edge of the cave, heard the sound and walked in. Bathed in moonlight, he cut a strikingly handsome figure.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Hearing Bai Yu's magnetic voice, Meng Yiran and Jiang Zhu both blushed and stammered, unable to say anything.
Jiang Zhu looked around and asked with a red face,
"Is it already midnight? I remember it had only just gotten dark."
Meng Yiran also nodded with a flushed face.
"Yeah, yeah. I remember I'd just returned from hunting outside."
Bai Yu smiled.
"What's wrong with you two? Didn't we already finish our barbecue? I'm taking the first watch. In another quarter of an hour, I'll wake you up, Yiran, to stand watch."
Hearing Bai Yu call her "Yiran," Meng Yiran's cheeks reddened again. She stammered,
"Is, is that so..."
Suddenly, both her and Jiang Zhu's stomachs growled.
Bai Yu raised his brows.
"Are you hungry again? There's still some uncooked game over there. Start the fire again and grill it. I have seasonings."
As he spoke, Bai Yu took out some seasonings from his Soul Tool.
Thinking of the sizzling grilled meat, Meng Yiran and Jiang Zhu unconsciously licked their lips.
Then, Bai Yu took two bottles of water from his belt and handed them over. The water they had brought was running low, so they gladly accepted his kindness.
Bai Yu then returned to the outer part of the cave and sat down.
"I'll continue keeping watch. Once you're done eating, one of you can come relieve me."
