Chapter 612 Cheering Himself Up

The sight of the plains at night was gorgeous. Hanging high above the skies was a river of twinkling stars we could never see in the city. The moon coated the earth with a silvery light, and I felt like we were walking straight into an anime scene. Shawn and I had been walking the whole day, so we were exhausted. The chill was getting to me due to fatigue, and I was shivering in Shawn's embrace. He held me tightly, not saying a word.

I could feel his hand rubbing against my cheek. And a long while later, he said, "You should eat something."

I shook my head. "I'm not hungry."

He took the bread and tore a small piece of it, then tried to feed me. I looked into his eyes. Just the thought of him eating raw fish just now stopped me from opening my mouth. "I'm not hungry. Really."

He cooed, "Now, now, be a good girl."

I pursed my lips and opened my mouth. He would worry if I went on for too long without food, and I needed something to keep up my strength, but I was still uneasy from everything.

With difficulty, I finished half the bread, and Shawn whipped out some biscuits. He fed me a couple and asked, "Do you want more?"

I shook my head. "That's enough."

There weren't a lot of snacks in the bag, but they were enough to last an adult two whole days. I wouldn't eat anything unless absolutely necessary. Shawn opened up a pack of sausages and fed me those.

I was a bit speechless for a moment. "Well, that question was redundant."

"You might be lying. Just eat more."

I teared up. "I never lie to you."

Shawn cocked his eyebrow. "Really?"

I smiled sheepishly. "Well, small lies."
