illicit relationship

Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was already 06:00 am.

At this moment, Xi Xingyi was standing in front of her tent, hoping she would see her daughter and boyfriend soon.

'Ran, Xiao Tian.'

Her pretty face looked tired, and her body was weak.

Anyone who saw her would know immediately that she did not sleep last night because dark circles could be seen under her eyes.

At the same time, Leng Nichang and Shi Fei woke up. The expression of deep concern blossomed on their faces when they did not see Xi Xingyi in the tent.

They wasted no time and rushed out of their tent.

'Sister Xingyi…'

They let out a sigh of relief when they saw Xi Xingyi standing not far from their tent.

The duo approached her slowly. "Sister Xingyi…"

Xi Xingyi turned her head to look at the duo.

"You two have woken up?" Xi Xingyi spoke in an unenthusiastic tone.

Shi Fei and Leng Nichang's faces turned worried again when they saw her condition.

"Sister Xingyi, did you not sleep last night?" Leng Nichang and Shi Fei had no idea that Xi Xingyi had been waiting for Xiao Tian and her daughter since yesterday because they fell asleep last night.

"I'm waiting for my daughter and Xiao Tian." Xi Xingyi gave an honest answer.

Shi Fei and Leng Nichang suddenly felt sad. Of course, they could understand her feelings.

"But you need to pay attention to your health too." Shi Fei responded, "Sister Xingyi, how about you go to bed now? We will wait for sister Ran and little brother for you."

"Yes, you should go to sleep now." Leng Nichang added. "We will wake you up after they return."

Even though they did not know if Xiao Tian and Xi Ran would return today, they still said it. They did it because they did not want something bad to happen to Xi Xingyi.

"I will sleep after they return." Xi Xingyi refused immediately because her heart could not be at ease if she did not see her daughter and Xiao Tian first.

Shi Fei and Leng Nichang kept trying to get Xi Xingyi to sleep, but their efforts were in vain because she always refused, saying she could not sleep before seeing Xiao Tian and her daughter.

For this reason, Shi Fei and Leng Nichang made a bonfire and breakfast so that it could help her warm her body.

But even so, Xi Xingyi was not in the mood to eat. She only ate a little and kept looking in the direction of the river.

"Sister Xingyi, you should eat more or else you will get sick later." Shi Fei did not want Xi Xingyi to get sick.

Even though the distance between Shi Fei and Xi Xingyi was close, but she did not hear Shi Fei's words because her mind was full of her daughter and Xiao Tian.

Xi Xingyi instantly rose to her feet, causing the plate to fall onto the gravel.

'Xiao Tian…Ran…'

She saw two people walking toward their tents.

"They have returned!" Xi Xingyi rushed toward Xiao Tian and Xi Ran.

Leng Nichang and Shi Fei turned their heads in the direction Xi Xingyi was running.

'They have returned!'

The duo was delighted when they knew that Xiao Tian had found Xi Ran.

"Let's go." Shi Fei and Leng Nichang also ran toward them.

"Xiao Tian, Ran…" Xi Xingyi almost could not control her emotion when she saw them.

She was happy.

She was delighted because God had granted her wish.

Xi Ran rushed toward her mother. "Mother…"

Xiao Tian smiled softly.

"Mother, what happened to you?" Xi Ran wore a worried face when she saw her mother's condition.

Instead of answering her daughter's question, Xi Xingyi threw many questions at once. "Ran, are you alright? Did the wild monkey injure you? What happened last night? Where did you sleep?"

She checked her daughter's body carefully.

Her daughter slept in the forest last night, so she wanted to know if she was injured or not.

"Little brother, are you alright?" Shi Fei inquired.

"I'm fine." He showed his soft smile.

"Mother, I'm fine." Xi Ran did nothing when her mother checked her body because she could understand her actions. "What happened to you? Why is your face pale?"

Like before, Xi Xingyi did not answer her daughter's questions. "Thank God."

She embraced her daughter tightly. She could not express her feelings in words. She was so happy, to the point she kept hugging her daughter.

'Ran…'

The anxiety inside her slowly disappeared.

"Mother, tell me. Why is your face pale? Are you sick?" Xi Ran repeated her questions because she was worried about her mother's condition.

"I'm fine. I'm not sick." Xi Xingyi was not sick, she was only tired.

"Your mother did not sleep last night. She keeps waiting for you and Xiao Tian." Leng Nichang revealed the truth.

"What?!" Xiao Tian and Xi Ran were instantly worried.

They knew that Xi Xingyi would be worried, but they did not expect that she would keep waiting for them to the point of not sleeping.

"We asked her to sleep many times, but she always refused, saying she wanted to wait for both of you." Shi Fei added.

"It's fine. I'm only tired." Actually, Xi Xingyi was no longer tired because she had seen her daughter and Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian stood in front of Xi Xingyi before finally speaking, "Xingyi, let's go to sleep now. I will sleep with you."

"But I still want to talk with my daughter." Xi Xingyi wanted to hear what had happened to her daughter in detail.

"Mother, you should sleep now." Xi Ran agreed with Xiao Tian's words. "I will tell you everything after you wake up."

"But…" Xi Xingyi wanted to hear it immediately.

"We can't enjoy our camping if you get sick, right?" Xi Ran tried her best to make her mother go to sleep. "Don't you want to make good memories together?"

Xi Xingyi shifted her gaze to Xiao Tian, Leng Nichang, and Shi Fei.

When she saw them nodding their heads, she agreed immediately. "Alright."

As Xiao Tian was bringing Xi Xingyi to her tent, Xi Ran and the others sat in front of a bonfire, eating together.

Xi Xingyi was currently lying in Xiao Tian's arms. "Xiao Tian, thank you for saving my daughter."

She did not know what would happen to her if Xiao Tian did not find her daughter because her daughter was her only family.

Sure, they quarreled many times in the past, but that never diminished her love for her.

"You don't need to thank me." He responded, "You are my lover, so it's my job to protect you and your daughter."

"I was so scared last night. I thought I would not be able to see my daughter again." She told him what she felt last night.

"Don't worry. As long as I'm alive, I will protect you and your daughter forever." He was telling the truth when he said this because she was his lover.

"Thank you, Xiao Tian." She expressed her gratitude again.

Xiao Tian stroked her hair gently.

He smiled softly when he saw her sleeping.

She did not sleep last night, so her body was tired. This was the reason why she fell asleep fast.

'Sleep well, my love.'
