In her nightmare, Willow was terrified and tightly clung to the man’s arm. In reality, she was also holding a man’s
arm, and as her tiny face snuggled closer, she eventually fell asleep with her face resting against his arm.
As the first ray of dawn poured in, Jasper was awoken by birds chirping. He was about to get up when his body
sensed that one of his arms was being tightly embraced by someone. Hence, he turned his head to see Willow
asleep with her face pressed against his biceps, where she was clinging to him like a clingy little cat. Despite the
bright sunlight streaming in through the window, he noticed the girl’s face was as pure and translucent as a peeled
egg, and it was smooth and tender, with every feature clearly visible and a stark contrast to his tanned skin.
Then, he attempted to withdraw his arm, but the more he pulled, the tighter she clung to it in her sleep, as if she
regarded his arm as a pillow. With a soft sigh, he continued to lie down to allow her to hold onto him a little longer,
hoping she would release his arm later. Half an hour later, he got out of bed after she flipped over and released her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgrip on his arm.
Since they were staying in a large camper van with a water purification system, he took a bucket and went outside
to collect water from a mountain spring.
In contrast, upon turning over and touching the empty space beside her, Willow could not help but open her eyes.
Where’s Jasper? Following this, she got out of bed, opened the door to the camper van, and realized how beautiful
the forest, which had seemed so terrifying the night. before, was in the morning!
Before her eyes was a lush green meadow filled with unfamiliar wildflowers and surrounded by towering trees,
creating a tranquil and fragrant space filled with the sounds of birdsong. Each breath felt invigorating because the
air was clean and rich in oxygen.
Then, as she was about to stretch lazily, she saw Jasper standing off in the distance, immobile, and she wondered if
he had discovered something fascinating or intriguing there. Piqued by curiosity, she walked quietly in the direction
of the man. Since the soft grass muffled her footsteps, he didn’t notice her even though she was only three feet
away.
Moreover, he was not particularly wary of his surroundings at the moment. Since he had previously set up
surveillance in the area, his wristwatch would trigger an alarm whenever anyone came too close. On the other
hand, he was the only one who knew what he was doing as he stood there.
Suddenly, he heard Willow’s inquisitive and sweet voice behind him, asking, “Hey! What are you doing?”
Instantaneously, Jasper became flustered as he pulled up his zipper with both hands, warning in a hoarse voice,
“Don’t come closer!”
As she watched the man’s hands move quickly, she put two and two together and realized what was happening.
Her face turned beet red with embarrassment, and she muttered an “oh” before turning around and running away.
Oh, dear! He… He was peeing over there!

embarrassment. Even as she approached the camper van, her heart was still pounding erratically, and she calmed

While pondering, she noticed the man walking toward her from the tree nearby. Biting her lip, she mustered up
some courage and repeatedly told herself not to feel embarrassed. Contrary to her expectations, he appeared
even calmer than she did, and as he pointed beneath the tent, he informed her, “There’s water over there for you
to wash up.”
Willow nodded after hearing this and returned to the camper van to retrieve a new cup, toothbrush, and face towel
for herself. She had experience with outdoor survival, so after quickly freshening up, she noticed Jasper preparing
breakfast. Then, she sat down and asked him, “Do you need any help?”
However, he responded indifferently, “No.” That was his usual tone when speaking to others, but she thought he
sounded upset, and she couldn’t help but recall the incident where she had bothered him earlier.
