Li Lian walked through the military camp, weaving past rows of tents as she thought about all the things she wanted to tell Xiao Fang. Only a few days had passed, but it felt as if something new was happening everyday.
The thoughts continued until she reached the southern inner perimeter. A red tent stood apart from the rest, its surroundings unusually quiet compared to the bustle elsewhere.
She stopped when she saw it, and the first person she recognized was Xiao Hei.
Sitting cross-legged atop a supply crate, Xiao Hei impatiently chewed on something sweet, but the moment Li Lian turned the corner, Xiao Hei's ear twitched before she turned to face her. Seeing who it was, Xiao Hei stuck her tongue out at her mockingly before turning her attention back to her sweets in her hand.
Li Lian sighed before walking up to the tent, to which she eventually saw Xun Wei standing outside of the tent's entrance as if she was guarding it.
