Chapter 37: Waking up early is really difficult for Paimeng
Chapter 37: Waking up early is really difficult for Paimeng
Noelle's character flaw, specifically, is that he thinks too wholeheartedly about others and ends up neglecting himself, which can lead to him being exploited by others and thus getting into danger.
However, Noelle has a unique kind of luck that protects her from harm.
For example, the Knights usually take care of Noelle secretly to keep any conspiracies away from this little girl.
For example, some people with ulterior motives approach Noelle, but will eventually be ashamed of Noelle's sincerity and leave.
For example, even if there is a direct danger, it is not a big deal in front of Noelle's strength.
So, Gu Chen’s idea about Noel is that if he can correct it, then correct it, but if he can’t correct it, it doesn’t matter much.
After all, there are the members of the Knights Templar, who among them doesn’t like this little girl?
With their own thoughts in mind, the three continued to chat with the campfire as a backdrop.
As we chatted, it became late and it was time to take a break.
When setting up camp and resting in the wilderness, someone needs to be left behind to keep watch.
So, Noelle took the initiative to suggest that Gu Chen and Paimeng have a good rest, and she would keep watch tonight.
Look, here it comes again.
Gu Chen shook his head and refused righteously.
Does he have any shame to let a little girl keep watch over him all night?
So Gu Chen was very determined and insisted that at least two of them should guard together, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half.
He is just settling for the second best.
If Gu Chen planned to stay up all night and didn't let Noelle do that, Noelle would feel so guilty that she wouldn't be able to sleep the whole night.
Seeing that Gu Chen did not want to be questioned, Noelle had no choice but to agree.
Without waiting for Noelle to continue speaking, Gu Chen again proposed to take on the task of keeping watch in the second half of the night because it was the most sleepy!
Noelle felt a little regretful that the most difficult night watch period was snatched away by his senior.
But... this feeling of being taken care of seems unexpectedly good.
That's it, time to rest.
Gu Chen and Paimeng first went into a tent and rested, leaving Noel outside to watch over the campfire.
In the second half of the night, Gu Chen woke up automatically.
After tucking in the quilt for the soundly sleeping Paimon, he took the initiative to get out of the tent and take over from Noel.
As expected, Noelle said something like Senior could sleep a little longer and she could continue to hold on.
Gu Chen said nothing, he could only keep a straight face and display the aura of a senior.
Sure enough, facing the tough senior, Noelle had no choice but to go into another tent and sleep, and she was able to rest properly.
Gu Chen was on guard in the second half of the night, so let’s not mention that.
Before I knew it, the night had passed and it was morning.
Noelle woke up just as the sky was getting light.
She crawled out of the tent, looked at the surroundings, and immediately noticed Gu Chen, who was guarding the campfire and in good spirits.
So, Noelle immediately asked with concern:
"Senior Gu Chen, were you safe last night? Did anything happen?"
Smiling at Noelle, Gu Chen replied:
“Everything is normal and safe.
No wild beasts came near, and no foolish thieves came to cause trouble."
After receiving this answer, Noelle smiled with relief.
"That's good."
Then Noelle simply washed up and started making breakfast.
Judging from the diversity of ingredients she prepares, it can be seen that the breakfast styles must be rich.
After washing up, Gu Chen looked at Noelle who was busy as hell, and smiled helplessly and dotingly.
Well done Noelle!
In addition...
Gu Chen looked at the tent where he lived.
Paimon is still sleeping.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen's face sterned.
Noelle has already started cooking, but Paimon is still planning to sleep in. Where's his face?
This time he was not polite. He crawled into the tent and pulled Paimon out from under the quilt, forcing her to wake up!
Paimon, who was being dragged up, opened his eyes dazedly.
Looking at the surroundings, Paimeng found that it was Gu Chen who woke him up, and he was very unhappy.
Who wants to leave their warm bed early in the morning?
Seeing that the little girl was still reluctant, Gu Chen became even more rude and pinched her face to signal her to listen to the noise outside:
"Paimon, listen, what's that noise outside?"
Noelle has already started making breakfast for us, and you're still embarrassed!?"
This really made Paimeng realize the reality. She shook her head and began to struggle:
"Hmm... Has Noelle started making breakfast yet? But I'm so sleepy."
Gu Chen crossed his arms, his expression unbending:
"You can continue to sleep, but you won't have breakfast.
Besides, I'm about to pack up the tent, and I don't know if the cool morning breeze will wake you up."
Paimeng was so dazed that he didn't even want to float away.
She plopped down on the bed again, closing her eyes and stretching her arms and legs, looking mad.
"Wow! Gu Chen! You're so annoying! And so hateful!"
Gu Chen remained calm and watched her making a fuss, his attitude not softening at all.
Seeing this, Paimon was really helpless and could only force himself to get out of the tent.
Looking at the situation outside, Paimon saw that Noel was indeed preparing breakfast, and he felt embarrassed.
On this side, Noelle saw Paimon coming out and asked with concern with a smile:
"Paimon is awake. Did you sleep well last night?"
Covering his head, Paimeng was a little embarrassed:
"Good...slept well!"
Noelle's attitude was still as friendly as ever:
"Just rest peacefully. Breakfast will be ready soon. Please wait a moment, Paimon."
Facing Noelle like this, Paimon was really embarrassed:
"Oh! Okay! Thanks Noelle!"
So she fled from here, ran to the natural water source nearby, washed her face with cold water, and forced herself to wake up.
While Paimeng was washing his face, Gu Chen was responsible for packing up the two tents.
Paimon had finished washing up, Gu Chen had finished cleaning up, and Noel's breakfast was just ready.
Paimon seemed to immediately forget his previous shame and hurried over to grab a seat for breakfast.
Gu Chen, who also sat over, expressed a certain contempt for Paimeng and said bluntly:
“I said Paimon.
Noelle and I were on guard last night.
We were the two who got up early this morning.
It was still the two of us who did the work, cleaned up, and made breakfast.
What did you do? How dare you eat breakfast here? Is it for free?
Paimeng immediately recognized the tone of the joke, and she put her hands on her hips and said angrily:
"Paimon is not an idiot! Paimon...
Well... Paimon is still a child, still growing, he can't not get enough sleep!
And the night watch...
Paimon is so weak that if he keeps watch at night, he might be taken away by a passing wolf, so there is nothing I can do.
Alas, my abilities are limited, and not causing you any trouble is the greatest help I can offer!
I've provided you with so much help, why can't I have breakfast?"
Gu Chen was stunned by these far-fetched and heretical arguments.
He couldn't help but reach out and pinch Paimon's face again:
"Where did you learn to be so thick-skinned? Did you learn it from Wendy?"
Paimeng quickly pushed Gu Chen's hand away and accused:
"Ouch! Stop pinching my face!"
