Eleven years old…
But she looked like smaller than an eleven years old girl. Probably because of her over tiny size body…
The cold wind blew and the firewood crackled as Senja added more dry branches that she could find around her, immediately their surroundings became warmer. Gong Xu opened his eyes as he felt uncomfortably warm.
"Put out the fire." Gong Xu said.
"But, why?" Senja frowned. "It is so cold." And protested.
"You will attract a wild animal and bandits if they knew there is someone else nearby." Gong Xu reasoned with her, he started to think that Senja would get a habit to defy him the more they talked.
"But, it is cold." Senja whined as she hesitated to put out the fire, she liked being warm like this.
