Huangfu Jingchen was startled and quickly said, "I... I'll sleep over there by the trees!"
Xia Wenjin waved the branch in his hand and smiled leisurely, "There are snakes in the wilderness, you know. Snakes can climb trees!"
Huangfu Jingchen wasn't afraid of snakes, but the thought of getting bitten by a snake during his sleep and never waking up sent a chill down his spine.
But should he sleep next to Long Yang?
He immediately shook his head vigorously in his mind, as if it were a rattle drum; he'd rather sleep with a venomous snake. He quickly said, "I'll find a place to sleep myself, don't worry about me, I... I'll go wash my hands first."
This makeshift bed was prepared by Xia Wenjin; he had no valid reason to ask anyone to give up their place for him.
Moreover, his father and mother were always ready to help those in need and certainly wouldn't have a mindset of taking by force. At worst, he could sit by the fire the whole night.
