Chapter 785 - 786: Sleep With You Bound
The night fell as Song Xiaodong stealthily approached the enemy camp alone. Those little devils had hit the hay early—apparently banking on some extra z’s to gear up for the morrow.
Their belongings were stored inside tents to preclude any possibility of nocturnal wildlife making off with them. Xiaodong didn’t attempt to filch anything from the little devils’ tents; instead, he targeted the guide’s abode and swiped some food without so much as a whisper of his presence.
Having retraced his steps to the tree that served as the duo’s hideout, Xiaodong climbed up but didn’t find Sun Yiyi there.
Glancing around, he spotted Yiyi emerging from behind a bush before climbing up the tree as well.
"Where did you go off to?" Xiaodong asked casually.
"Hey, why are you asking so nosily about a girl’s business?" Yiyi shot Xiaodong a glance.
Xiaodong chuckled awkwardly and chose not to probe further, deducing that she must have taken a nature’s call. Then, he pulled out the food and handed it to Yiyi.
After the two finished eating and drinking, Yiyi commented, "I never imagined we’d end up like monkeys, having to sleep up in a tree."
Xiaodong laughed, "Well, at least we’re a male and a female pair."
Yiyi giggled and suggested, "Should we then return and have a litter of little monkeys, huh?"
"Pfft..." Xiaodong was amused by her comment but didn’t take her up on the jest.
Yawning, Yiyi said, "I’m so sleepy, today’s been utterly grueling. I wanna sleep, but I’m afraid I’ll fall off. What should I do?"
