She hadn't returned to their rented metal house for a long time because years of experience told her that place was no longer safe, so she simply started dodging around without even taking her pathetically thin belongings.

"I'm sorry... I've gotten you back to eating wood again." Xingxing sighed, adjusted her posture, and then, hugging her knees, watched the stars through the hole in the roof: "This world really doesn't have a place for us."

But he could feel Xingxing was in a terrible mood, so he caught a huge White-browed High-legged Spider from the darkness and placed it in front of her: "Eat, meat!"
