"I don't need you to tell me what to do!" Fulajie'er said irritably.
"Weren't you the one who started talking to me about your feelings?" Tangmo said with a grin.
"That was a complaint, a complaint. Do you understand?" Fulajie'er said, exasperated.
"Hmm, I get it now," Tangmo said with a nod, still smiling.
"You're driving me crazy. I'm not talking to you anymore," Fulajie'er said, and then silence fell.
After teasing Fulajie'er, Tangmo finally felt a sense of joy she hadn't felt in a long time, and her mood wasn't as tense. She took a deep breath and watched Hu Daoke and Feng clearing fallen leaves to make a campsite, considering whether she should help.
Just then, she seemed to faintly hear a commotion from deep within the forest, getting closer. Listening carefully, she thought she could also hear panting and crying out.
