As if answering her question, the previously quiet night suddenly erupted with the deafening sound of howling wind, accompanied by the sound of sand and dirt hitting the door.
Ji Nuan's eyes widened: "This is way too dramatic!"
Xiu Yan chuckled softly: "Haha~"
Ji Nuan shot him a glare: "This has nothing to do with me, all right? You said it's almost dawn anyway."
Xiu Yan's well-shaped lips curled into a playful smile as he nodded in mock seriousness: "Mm-hmm, I know, this absolutely isn't Nuannuan's fault. That's just how the cold season in the desert is."
But looking at his clearly insincere reply, Ji Nuan couldn't help but feel inexplicably annoyed.
Letting out an indignant cry, she lunged at him, and then…
Was decisively subdued…
Outside the cave, the howling sandstorm whipped through the air, like a demon trapped beneath the desert sands finally unleashed, raging and wreaking havoc everywhere to assert its presence.
