On the first day entering the Desert, the morning was bearable, but by noon, the sun scorched fiercely, the air was heavy and almost stagnant. Dong Huiying was drenched in sweat, yet she didn’t take off the cloak or the scarf wrapped around her. She turned back to look at Liang Haoming, who rode on another camel. It seemed the heat was too much for him; he tugged at the scarf covering his face. Next to him, Hong Xiangjun had already removed her cloak and kept wiping the sweat from her face with it. "This sun is too intense, be careful of getting sunburned," Dong Huiying reminded them, then saw Hong Xiangjun grab a water bag and guzzle from it, "Why do I feel like the water in this bag is lessening? I clearly didn’t drink much." "Perhaps it’s the hot weather; the water might be evaporating." Hong Xiangjun lay on the camel, "Oh god, let me die, this blazing heat is just like a frying pan." After enduring several hours, the weather cooled down, and Hong Xiangjun felt as if she had come back to life, stuffing her mouth with dry food. Dong Huiying saw the sandy winds and the dim yellow sky ahead, her expression not very optimistic. "Let’s stop here; we’ll rest for the night," she got off her camel and was about to assist Liang Haoming, only to find that he had already dismounted by himself. Hong Xiangjun swallowed her dry food and asked, "Why?" Dong Huiying pointed toward a nearby dune, "This dune can act as a windbreak, and look around us—this place is ideal for taking refuge." Hong Xiangjun looked around, then blinking, she asked, "Have you been to the desert before?" Dong Huiying dodged the question lightly. She had never been to the desert before this, but in her past life, with advanced communication, she had acquired some knowledge from the internet, television, and books, even if she hadn’t been there in person. "Lend a hand, we need to tie the camels together to prevent them from scattering later." Hong Xiangjun was confused, but since Little Sister Dong was so assertive, she felt at ease. It all came down to one thing! Holding her sister’s hand, following her lead, whatever Little Sister Dong wanted to do, she would listen! The three of them got busy, and at that time, not far away, Tu Ya’s team also stopped. Hulan asked, "What are they doing?" Tu Ya happily dismounted from her camel, "Who cares, Hulan, where is my sunburn cream? Hurry up and bring it to me!" Hulan choked up a bit, then sighed helplessly. Tu Ya approached Liang Haoming with the sunburn cream, "The Desert sun is especially harsh during the day, I have some sunburn—" she hadn’t finished her sentence when she saw Liang Haoming turn around with a cold look on his face. His face was clear and clean, not a mark on it, perhaps only his lips were a bit dry. At that moment, Dong Huiying took out a small porcelain bottle from a camel’s back, "Haoming, come here!" Therefore, Liang Haoming stepped on the loose sand and walked towards his wife. Tu Ya stamped her foot in frustration, "Hey? Why are you ignoring people!" Tu Ya caught up and tried to grab the man’s arm, but suddenly, he glared at her threateningly, "Don’t touch me!" Had she offended him? The man gave her a warning glance and then hurried towards his little wife, his steps light and quick. Dong Huiying opened the small porcelain bottle and, with her ring finger, took some of the transparent ointment. She cast a semi-amused glance at Tu Ya, then said to Liang Haoming, "Come, lower your head."
