“Curtis.”

Bai Qingqing held onto a thin animal skin and walked over to his nest.

Curtis took a glance at Bai Qingqing and made some space for her.

Bai Qingqing lay down beside him, looking at him with a gaze as if she wanted to say something.

Curtis raised his hand and covered her eyes, saying with an emotionless voice, “If you’re tired, sleep.”

Bai Qingqing hugged him, her slightly trembling voice revealing her anxiety. “Curtis…”

Curtis’s heart softened, and he hugged her tightly, his tone sounding gentler. “Before she hurts you, I won’t hurt her.”

This meant that if Bai Qingqing insisted on bringing An’an to the desert to look for Winston, Curtis wouldn’t be able to put up with An’an anymore.

Bai Qingqing let out a bitter sigh, forcing back the tartness in her eyes, and replied in a soft voice, “En. I won’t let anything happen to me, either.”

There was no way to get her to give up on An’an.

However, if she were to head for the desert one day, she’d naturally take care of her own life. Her life concerned the happiness of three males.

An’an cried for the entire night and then fell asleep weakly after the sun came up. There was no waking her up even when they were bathing her. She continued to be groggy for the next few days, her clear eyes looking as if a layer of mist had enshrouded them. She looked very listless.

The thought of wanting to head to Flame City was like a seed that was planted in Bai Qingqing’s heart. It germinated and grew at an unstoppable rate.

Bai Qingqing had decided to go to the Flame City. The faster, the better. However, she was unsure about Curtis’s attitude and was hesitating over whether she should ask for his help.

It was until one accident caused her to make up her mind.

One morning, when the morning dew had dried up, Bai Qingqing carried An’an on her back and ran into the bedroom.

“Curtis, I’m bringing An’an out to play.”
