In the next week, the two kept sitting like this, rarely taking a break, rarely sleeping and resting. They just ate once a day, a small meal made of dried-up rations and such.
When they slept, Anjie insisted on sleeping in his embrace, surrounded by his arms. He didn't mind that, as being by her side made his mind a bit relaxed and a lot clearer. He woke up refreshed every time she slept with him, and he started to grow a habit of that.
"I'm going up," one week passed, and she had to go to meet others, "If anyone has a mysterious result, I'll leave him aside for you to check later, got it?"
He nodded and continued to train while she went away. She took ten whole days before returning back, and she told him how much she missed him all this time.
