At Xia You's third invitation, perhaps realizing that the weather was taking a nasty turn, Bea finally entered the tent.
But there was still something very awkward facing them.
May was already sleeping on the right, and she was sound asleep. Without waking her, no matter how Xia You and Bea lay down, they would inevitably end up next to each other.
For two people who were neither a couple nor particularly close, this was clearly rather awkward.
Especially after what had happened last time.
Just as Xia You was about to wake May, however, Bea silently walked to the far left and lay down with her back to him.
She was so decisive, without the slightest hesitation, that everything Xia You had been about to say caught in his throat.
But...
Although the tent was spacious enough for three people, May was hardly a tidy sleeper. She took up quite a bit of space, which meant that once Xia You lay down, he would inevitably be very close to both of them.
Having a beautiful girl on either side might sound enviable, especially with two girls like these, but that was only if everyone involved wanted it. Clearly, that was not quite the situation here.
Fortunately, they were all Pokémon Trainers, after all, and were not too particular when traveling. Everyone could understand, so after a light cough, Xia You lay down between them.
But once he did, falling asleep became even harder.
The slightest movement of his arms would bring him into contact with May or Bea, leaving him afraid to move at all.
Crack!
Then, after another clap of thunder, raindrops suddenly began falling outside.
The drops were small at first, but soon joined together into a heavy, pattering downpour.
Amid those sounds, Xia You suddenly relaxed.
