The rain finally subsided at dawn. Sisi woke up earlier than Jojo as the morning cold began to seep into her bones.
The bonfire had already gone out, and if she wanted to light another one to warm themselves after dusk, they needed to find dry wood or branches.
Besides…
Sisi pinched her flat stomach. She hadn't eaten much since last night. Jojo had been so hungry that he ate almost everything, leaving her only the scraps.
Jojo had offered her the roasted mushroom many times, but Sisi insisted she wasn't hungry. She preferred to let Jojo eat as much as he could; he was still growing and needed the nutrition to grow taller and bigger, while she was stuck with her shorter-than-average body as she had already reached adulthood.
Besides, Sisi had spent many days enduring hunger on the farm, so she had grown used to it.
