"There are not many trees in the desert so it's much wiser to set out camp"
"I've got a few sets of clothing, so you can borrow one of mine, but I've only got one tent, I guess we'll just have to share the tent then" Zi Hua offered, their artifact spirits were friends so the two didn't need to be reserved and should help each other instead, however Zi Hua was obstinate on not using the Heaven-defying artifact so they will just have to share the tent.
"N-no, it's alright, I can just stay outside" He Li became flustered, although he lacked some common sense he was not that dense, he knew a bit about relationships between men and women.
"Don't underestimate the temperature at night, it's better to have something blocking the outside weather" Seeing Zi Hua insistence and indifference to them sleeping in the same tent, He Li didn't carry on rejecting her or else it will seem like he's avoiding her.
Nothing will happen, everything will be fine...
"Okay then, thank you"
"Change into this first" Zi Hua threw a set of black and purple outfit to him, it was originally something she made for Xiao Zi when making her own so that she could take it out straight away if a situation which requires it arises, she also made a set for Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong.
"Here?"
"Where else?" Zi Hua was rummaging through her storage ring trying to find the portable changing room and her outfit so she didn't pay too much attention to what He Li said.
"Found them!" Zi Hua found what she was looking for and turned around and was about to give the portable changing room to He Li but found him without his shirt on.
Her faced reddened, comparable to Xue Lian's tomato face.
If there was a tomato face contest, the competition's judges would have a very hard deciding on the winner between Xue Lian, Huang Qian Yang and Zi Hua.
"Wha-what are you doing?!" Zi Hua covered her eyes with her hands but could still see him through the gaps between her fingers.
"You told me to change here?" He was slightly embarrassed too but due to his lack of common sense he did not get flustered despite it being the first time someone apart from his master and artifact spirit seeing him shirtless.
"Yeah, but in the changing room" Zi Hua pointed towards the changing room that she had brought out whilst trying to cover her face with her other hand.
He Li could feel his face heating up, how embarrassing, he misunderstood what she meant.
Meanwhile, the two cheeky brats who purposely did not clarify everything for He Li stood by the side watching with wide grins and crescent eyes.
'Why am I so flustered? I've seen a guy shirtless before, like, like... that time when I went to the beach with my family' ...when I was 5 years old...
'Get yourself together, this isn't you usual you' While He Li was changing, Zi Hua gave herself a talking, trying to pull herself together.
*Badumph* *Badumph*
However, her blush did not fade until after 5 minutes of self talk.
Poor Zi Hua, the woman who had lived two lifetimes without experiencing a single romantic scenario, no one wanted to approach her due to 'them' and after she freed herself, although approachable, others always felt that she was out of their league.
She had never had the time to spare to think about romance whilst growing up do to her situation, so she had no idea what the hell was happening to her.
To be honest, she never did anything a teenage girl would usually do apart from studying, she never went out shopping with her friends or went to watch movies with her friends, she... didn't really have friends...
She spent all her time trying to free herself from the cage she used to call home.
