The door was pushed open. Ou Luoxi walked inside. The boy did not look at her, but he lowered his head as he took the water and wooden bucket out and said, "Sleep in the bed tonight."
"Where are you going to sleep then?"
"I will sleep on the floor."
Xia Xiaofu did not say a single word. She could not ask him to sleep together with her, right? These words, she could not say them out loud; she was a lady after all.
…
After everything was arranged properly, Xia Xiaofu slept on the bed. She flipped her body and looked at Ou Luoxi who put a mat on the ground to sleep. The boy closed his eyes, and it seemed as if he was already asleep.
"Luoxi," she called out to him.
Ou Luoxi did not respond.
The environment in the mountains was extremely quiet. It was so quiet that Xia Xiaofu could hear the sound of the wolf howling outside the house. She's been traumatized in this regard and was very afraid.
