At the same time, Bíng Huo had just woke up and she heard the ice eagle's last sentence.
'...dear?'
The girl blinked her eyes softly and groaned, startling the other two. Both of them looked at each and nodded, agreeing to not speak anymore.
"Senior brother? You're awake?" Xi Xue hurriedly let the girl stood on her own but his hands were still on her shoulder, protecting her so she won't fall.
"...what happened? Did I fall asleep again?" Bíng Huo rubbed her eyes and her mind recalled the ice eagle's sentence.
'You will regret that, dear.'
BA-THUMP.
The word dear somehow struck Bíng Huo's heart. The girl looked at Xi Xue with hazy eyes.
'Did the ice eagle just called Xi Xue...dear? What's happening here? What happened when I was asleep?'
The girl bit her lips.
'How the heck I even fall asleep in the first place? Something is wrong!'
