The pre-dawn light brightened the forest and a few more birds began to chirp, their morning songs mingling with the mist in the air, fresh and pleasant.
"Catch the thief!!!"
"How come everything's gone!!!"
"There's a thief!!!"
A series of lamentations came from not too far away, startling the birds into flight and causing the branches to rustle 'shasha' in the breeze.
Jiang Mian groggily opened her eyes, wondering who was wailing like banshees.
She sat up and took a look at the brightening sky outside, which quickly helped her shake off the remnants of sleep.
Wait a second?!!!
Hadn't Fu Sichen said he would take her to watch the sunrise, so why was it fully light already?
She extended her hand to open the tent flap, and a wave of morning chill surged into her embrace.
Sss—
So cold.
Jiang Mian instinctively retreated back into the tent.
She grabbed a blanket from within the tent and draped it over her shoulders, then stepped out bare-faced into the world.
Huh??
