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."

Twenty minutes later, I slowly opened my eyes and saw Shawn falling asleep while he was sitting up. He wasn't even leaning on the boulder behind him. That was understandable. His back was hurt, but sleeping while sitting up must feel awful too. I sighed and pulled him into my embrace. His head rested on my chest. If this was any other time, he would have
