Chapter 28: Invitation
After a long silence, Xiu Wu looked at the other two and said, "You guys will watch the first half of the night, and I will watch the second half of the night. Wake me up at midnight."
Tan Wei still stared at the rabbit and answered: "Alright."
Ji Yang took out Xiu Wu’s sleeping bag and handed it to him. Opening the sleeping bag, Xiu Wu took another look at the snoring rabbit, then closed his eyes and went to sleep. Five hours later, Ji Yang woke him up.
Seeing Tan Wei sleeping in his sleeping bag, Xiu Wu didn’t say anything. He sat around the bonfire and looked at Zhu Lin through the firelight. Time passed slowly as his gaze stayed on her beautiful face, and before he knew it, it was already dawn.
Just before the first ray of sunlight shone out through the east horizon, Zhu Lin opened her eyes.
Seeing her open her eyes, Xiu Wu felt an urge to talk to her, so he softly said, "Good morning."
Hearing his gentle and magnetic voice, Zhu Lin lifted her eyes. Looking at the slight smile on the corner of his lips, she thought for a moment, and hesitantly said, "Good morning."
Receiving her morning greeting, Xiu Wu was overjoyed and asked, "Are you hungry? Would you like to have breakfast together?"
Thinking of the delicious fried rice last night, Zhu Lin wanted to nod, but she was too embarrassed to eat his food for free, so she shook her head in the end. After she refused, both of them fell silent.
