The candle was blown out, and in the faint moonlight, everyone sat together, their eyes still not adapted to the sudden darkness; even up close, only silhouettes were visible.
Of course, darkness has its advantages, like now, when the other girls don’t know where Lin Shuang’s eyes are looking, nor what he is doing.
——But, at this moment, where else could his eyes be looking?
Yixin, in full bloom, was sitting right next to him, now seemingly devoid of strength, softly leaning on him.
In the darkness, her skin seemed to absorb all the moonlight, shining brightly into his eyes.
Lin Shuang reached out to scoop up this pool of moonlight in the water, the moonlight in the water was disturbed, rippling out in circles, quivering and spreading.
She softly called him, "Master..."
He embraced her fully with both arms, holding his own full moon.
This touch of moonlight was not as cold as it appeared to be, rather it was very warm, even hot to the touch.
A faint song began to play, hmm, perhaps it was Chang’e on the moon who was singing.
Who is singing! Hey! Warming the loneliness!
But now wasn’t just Lin Shuang’s moment to enjoy the moon... there were still a circle of girls sitting around!
They blinked their eyes, like twinkling stars next to the moon.
Twinkling, twinkling, bright and shiny~ the sky is full of little stars~
Lin Shuang suddenly thought, if all the girls seated here turned into moons surrounding him...
Then he would want to be the sun.
What a magnificent sight that would be.
"Master brother, what are you doing now!" The twinkling star was Yan Han.
Leaning next to her, another twinkling star was Su Wan, "Quickly grab Lin Dasha!"
These two plastic sisters formed a double star system.
Little Ling Meng and Yu Zhishui were also close together, like two comets with tails trying to crash over, very active and bright.
"My dear, I’m over here~ can you see me~"
Shuishui, this silly girl, was still tiptoeing and waving hard, but Lin Shuang really couldn’t see; the light had suddenly gone out, and his eyes had not yet adjusted.
——This means the other girls also can’t see what he is doing!
"Quick, stop evil Lin Shuang’s hands from reaching Sister Yixin!"
"Yixin is really inherently evil~"
Xia Yubing also reached out, pushing the brightly shining moon, Yixin, towards Lin Shuang.
It was you who punished poor Yixin!
Lin Shuang observed the other girls’ eyes twinkling like stars in the darkness.
Then he realized... a comet was approaching!
Yu Zhishui, this silly doggy, rubbed her way over to Lin Shuang: trying to steal a touch in the dark, huh!
Xiao Han’s voice rang out in the darkness, "Ah! Who did I kick?"
Shuishui had already made her way in the dark right up to Lin Shuang, observing closely what he was doing.
Lin Shuang freed up one hand, making a shushing gesture towards her.
Shuishui obediently nodded.
Yixin buried her head in Lin Shuang’s shoulder, trying to hide; he whispered to her, "It’s okay, Shuishui won’t understand."
Bullying Shuishui the silly girl, huh!
Ayao’s voice arose on the other side of Lin Shuang, "Shuishui?"
"Shuishui, what are you doing?"
"I am... supervising our dear master!"
Shuishui really didn’t understand what dear master and Sister Yixin were doing, but Shuishui was curious; however, without candles, it was really dark, and she couldn’t see very clearly.
Among the playful noises of the girls, Lin Shuang kissed Shuishui lightly and invited her to enjoy the moon together.
With such a beautiful scene, he couldn’t resist the urge to recite a poem!
Above the sea, the bright moon is born, Spring river and tide join with the flat sea, Above the sea, the moon and the tide arise together.
What a wonderful poem!
The other girls kept chattering away, all kinds of lively sounds bursting close by.
Finally, the moonlight was salvaged, revealing the outcome.
Hmm, isn’t this more fun than Secretary Xia’s famous book ’From Office to Park’?
Sitting beside Lin Shuang, Tong Yao finally remembered to maintain order, she grabbed Lin Shuang’s hand and arrested him.
Having watched the whole process, the silly Yu Zhishui came over to help, "Caught my darling!"
Always felt like darling was playing some fun game, she’d make him play with her later!
She wanted to play too! Shuishui loves playing games!
Ayao, holding Lin Shuang’s hand, curiously asked, "Hey... did someone spill their drink..."
The gentle Little Ayao also wiped his hand for him.
Lin Shuang vaguely responded, "... Seems like it?"
Then casually blamed the other mischievous ones, "Could it be Xiao Han or Little Ling Meng who knocked over the wine glass!"
"It wasn’t me! I’ve finished my plum wine!"
"My glass... eh? My plum wine is gone, did Shuishui take it amidst the chaos!"
"Shuishui didn’t, oh? Shuishui is a good child."
She was originally planning to sneak a taste of the plum wine, but instead, she came in the dark to play with my darling, which was even more fun.
After helping Ayao arrest Lin Shuang, Shuishui sneaked back to her own spot, bumping into Little Ling Meng on the way.
The two silly heads bumped together, "Paji~" a crisp sound.
"So it really was you, Little Ling Meng, who knocked over the wine glass!"
"It was a collision with Shuishui! It hurts!"
Wanwan’s voice also rang out, "Xiao Han, don’t kick me!"
Amidst the chaos of the other girls, Yixin, all soft, leaned towards Xia Yubing trying to cover up her antics.
Yubing poked her cheek and softly chuckled, "Sister Yixin, you owe me a husband! That’s so unfair! I saw it, you know?"
Yixin, out of energy to speak, just smiled and closed her eyes, resting her head on Xia Yubing’s shoulder, secretly holding hands with Lin Shuang.
After all the commotion, everyone’s eyes had adjusted to the dark a bit better.
Seeing Yixin and Yubing leaning on each other, Lin Shuang held by Ayao’s hands, Xiao Han remarked surprisingly, "Eh? Master didn’t make a move?"
Yubing, holding Yixin, smilingly said, "I’m here protecting Sister Yixin, ahh~, absolutely won’t let her be bullied by her husband."
Yixin pitifully pursed her lips: Miss, what exactly did you protect!
Wanwan’s gaze shifted between them, "Is it possible he already made a move?"
"That quick, no way!"
"Umm, what are you guys talking about~"
Are you talking about darling and Sister Yixin?
Shuishui picked up another deck of cards, "Let’s continue the game."
Ayao, from holding Lin Shuang’s hands to embracing his waist, "Still want to play~"
"Now that it’s completely dark, seems even more fun, right?"
"... You guys are so wild!"
"Then let’s play another round—naughty maid, are you being dishonest?"
"Be sure to keep an eye on Lin Dasha and don’t let him peek."
"Especially don’t let him make a move!"
