With an innocent look, I said, "Did I say anything wrong? I don't think I did anything weird. How am I a pervert?"
She stopped arguing and dived further into her quilt. "Be honest now, aren't you worried about Hendrix?"
I was flabbergasted and said, "What's there to be worried about?"
She blinked a few times and said, "Think about it. At this time, Rowane and Hendrix are in a thick forest. A handsome man and a beautiful woman all alone. Aren't you worried?"
I smiled and said, "I think that we should be more worried about their safety instead!"
She snorted and laid back in bed, ready to find a comfortable place to sleep.
Sebastian's voice came from outside the tent. "Arianna, Naomi!"
"What's wrong?" Upon hearing the voice, Naomi sat up straight and opened the tent swiftly, looking at him for an answer.
Sebastian looked at me and said in a serious expression, "Hendrix and Rowane have been gone for too long. They might be in danger." "How is it be possible!" Naomi frowned. "There are only grasslands here. What kind of danger can they meet? There can't be any beasts here!"
"It's not a beast!" Tina said, "It's true that all of our surroundings are just a vast grassland, but there are also mountains of tea plantations miles away from here. It's likely that there will be a landslide in this rainy season."
"Well, if they are unlucky and caught themselves in a landslide, then they will be in deep trouble!" Rainie said.
I was stunned for a moment. Then I put on my coat and came out of the tent. I said, "Let's go and have a look."
"Alright!" Naomi came out of the tent and said, "Both of them are so troublesome!"
"I saw it!" replied Sebastian.
I can't believe Hendrix didn't bring his cell phone along. I muttered, "Alright!"
So, we went to our separate ways. I was with Rainie and Dahlia, and the other two formed another group.
It was not as scary as I thought. With the help of the moonlight, we managed to walk in the darkness without any difficulty.
"Do you think this Miss Zanes did it on purpose? Didn't she just have a stomachache? Why did she go so far? Does she want your... Hendrix to come find her so that they can stay in the wilderness together and then have a romantic experience with him?!"
Rainie held her flashlight to light up the path while she made fun of me. I grinned and said nothing. Looking at the terrain around us, I thought that even if Rowane wanted to find a secret place to do her business, a girl should not go too far. Was she really in trouble?
