Their Absence Makes Me Feel Uneasy

Before Muir returned to the peacock village, he deliberately washed away the smoky smell on his body, so his body was still slightly moist. Using the illumination from the moonlight, Bai Qingqing saw that his wound had already formed a scab and didn't look quite as scary as it did during the day.

"Hurry up and lie down. Have a good rest." Bai Qingqing looked at the only animal skin in the house and indicated for Muir to lie down upon that.

As the female's gentle voice entered his ears, Muir's heart abruptly skipped a beat.

Although the two of them had slept in the same place previously, that was because they didn't have a choice. Out in the wilderness, he had to protect Bai Qingqing right by her side. Right now, though, it was a house, and there was only one nest. It was safe around here, so he could very well just sleep on a tree branch.

Muir's heart started beating faster as he quietly sat down on that animal skin.
