In the darkness of the night.
The lamp wick was about to burn out, making the entire cave appear gloomy and terrifying.
Xia Xi had no more essential oil left; they could only hold on like this, waiting for Gong Chenli to come to their rescue.
She hugged her knees with both hands, shrinking into a ball out of fear, as if oil was smeared under her buttocks, constantly scooting over to Gu Tong.
Gu Tong noticed her movement but kept her eyes down, saying, "What are you doing!"
"I'm afraid of the dark…"
Xia Xi slipped like oil under her feet, lunging over and clinging to Gu Tong's arm, refusing to let go, saying, "Xue Tongtong… you know… I'm a scaredy-cat…"
"…" This damned fellow!!!
Gu Tong's mouth twitched…
Gu Tong opened her eyes, her dark pupils landing on Xia Xi, pinching her voice, said, "Xia Xixi, you also know… I have a big temper!!!"
"…" Ugh… don't use such a coy tone to say such fierce words…
Stealing her lines, she wants royalties! Hey!
