In just a short period, the camping area had attracted a large crowd.

Jason and his gang had already attracted some attention when they were harassing Tina and the other girls, and Li Du’s actions in taking down Carey twice had attracted even more.

Thus, quite a few people had seen Jason’s ”exhibition.”

As the gossiping around them grew heavier, Jason and his gang lost their will to remain there. They packed up their unopened tents and left the camping ground.

Li Du said, ”In Chinese, we have a saying: ‘When the old man from the frontier loses his horse, how could one know if it will not be fortuitous?’ What this saying means is that some things you think are bad could turn out to be blessings in disguise.”

”What are you trying to say?”

”Those idiots came to provoke us. Although it seemed like a bad thing at first, now that they’ve left, several spots are free to use now. With that, we don’t have to squeeze together anymore. Isn’t that something good?”

Rebecca shrugged. ”He left too quickly. I was hoping that he would stay for awhile longer. That small worm of his sure was cute.”

”You still can catch up and examine it if you want,” Tina mocked. ”I think with that attitude of his—like a dog-in-heat—he’ll show it to you.”

Rebecca shrugged again and said, ”Forget it, I guess. What if he tries to stab me with it? I’m afraid of needles.”

Li Du laughed. These girls were more even more open toward this topic than he was.

Bringing Ah Meow with him, he entered the forest.

There was a small path that had probably formed from the steps of tourists. Li Du walked along it and felt the shade was cool, and that the summer wind wasn’t as warm anymore.

While in many places the summers in June were not very warm, in Arizona, summers in June were scorching.

The canopy was green and thick, and radiant streaks of light formed by the sun’s rays came through. Some insects were hiding in the leaves and chirping. Although they made different sounds, the ambiance felt quiet and calming to listen to.

Li Du let go of Ah Meow, and soon it came running back with a plump hare in its mouth. Another round later, and it came back with a wild chicken.

That was one of the strengths of a long-tailed ocelot. A forest would become its territory.

That night, he made honey-grilled hare, chicken soup, and some other grilled meat. The five girls enjoyed the meal in high spirits with Li Du.

When it was time to clear up, Tina lifted her t-shirt slightly and revealed her slim and smooth waist. She gave a pat on her tummy and said with a satisfied smile, ”I’m so full, seems like I need to work out, or else I’m gonna turn flabby.”

”You can have a good work out with a stud tonight,” Rebecca said as she gestured with her eyes.

Tina gave a mysterious smile to Li Du and asked, ”How about it?”

Li Du couldn’t tell if she was joking, so he waved his hand and said, ”With such a beautiful night sky out tonight, wouldn’t such a topic ruin the view?”

Indeed, the night sky tonight was beautiful. If one lifted their head up to see the night sky, they wouldn’t see the Moon, but they would be greeted with a sparkling sky full of stars.

The starlight seemed to paint the night in many colors. It was as if the atmosphere of the Earth didn’t exist. Millions of miles out were stars, stars, and even more stars, glowing in colors of red, orange, green and blue!

As they sat around the bonfire, Li Du gazed at the starry sky. He couldn’t help but mutter, ”The sea of stars, that is my adventure!”

That phrase was said in Chinese. Tina couldn’t understand, and asked, ”What does that mean?”

Li Du realized that what he said was cringe-worthy, so he laughed it off and said, ”Oh, nothing much. I was saying that since the ambiance feels right, how about a song?”

The girls were pursuing their dream of music, and singing had become their way of life. After hearing what Li Du said, they sprang into action.

Tina took out a guitar from the tent. After testing the tuning, she opened her cherry-red lips and lightly sang, ”Memories we share together…”
