Wang Li couldn't help but gaze at them, her heart fluttering with a mix of curiosity and admiration. The burnt scar on his wing was particularly painful to look at.

Wang Li hesitated for a moment before nodding, pulling herself close to him, her palm literally touching his back as she lay down. She laid the fur and draped it over both her and Gale.
