"Aren't you sleeping?" Fu Sheng asked again.
I shook my head.
Standing up, I brushed the dust from my clothes.
"I'll be right back," I said. "I want to see someone."
Fu Sheng looked at me for a moment.
"Bai Ming?" he asked calmly. "You want to warn her, right?"
I hummed softly.
"Mm. I'll be right back."
I turned to leave, but after taking two steps I suddenly stopped.
Then I turned around again.
Before Fu Sheng could react, I leaned forward and quickly pecked his cheek.
His eyes widened slightly.
I smiled as if nothing had happened and quickly walked away before he could say anything.

Not far from our campsite, Bai Ming was still awake.
The small fire beside her had already burned low.
She was quietly clearing the place where she had just finished cooking.
A small pot sat beside her, and a few bowls were stacked neatly.
Not far from her, Fu Qin and Fu Lin were already asleep under a blanket.
Their small bodies were curled together, breathing softly.
