Once inside the house, Shannchyuan went into his bedroom. He approached his desk. Shannchyuan opened a drawer and took out a small notebook with a dark blue cover. He glanced at the bed for a moment. Yinqyueh was still sleeping soundly. True to the girl's name, Shannchyuan felt like he was looking at the reflection of the moonlight. He then walked out of the room. In order not to wake Yinqyueh, he tried to move meticulously. Shannchyuan tried his best not to make a sound. After his business was done, Shannchyuan opened the door. He was ready to walk out of the room.
"Is it morning now?" A voice sounded from behind Shannchyuan. Apparently, Shannchyuan wasn't careful enough in his steps, so Yinqyueh woke up. Shannchyuan turned his body. Now he was facing Yinqyueh. He could see that the girl was already in a sitting position on the bed.
"Depends on what your definition of morning is," said Shannchyuan. "But by definition in general, it is not yet morning. I suggest that you just continue your sleep. I'll wake you up before sunrise."
Yinqyueh laughed. The sound of her laughter sounded so sweet to Shannchyuan's ears. The girl got out of bed instead. She stood up right away.
"Once I wake up, it's hard for me to go back to sleep again. What if it's your turn to go to bed now? Let's just say it's Uncle's turn."
"I Can't. I still have important things to do," said Shannchyuan.
"What is the important thing? Is there anything I can help with?"
Shannchyuan just smiled. He then walked out of the room. Yinqyueh followed him. They then walked to the kitchen.

"Are you hungry?" Shannchyuan opened the fridge.
"I am not. But it's okay if there are some snacks."
Inside the refrigerator, there was still Jianroei Ice. Shannchyuan didn't know the drink was still good or not. As Shannchyuan recalled, Shinnshiow bought the drink a few days ago. He tasted a little. It turned out to be still fit for consumption. Shannchyuan took out the basin containing Jianroei Ice and placed it on the table in the kitchen. He took two bowls and filled them with Jianroei ice. After that, he put the basin back in the fridge. He took two soup spoons and put them in both bowls. He handed one bowl to Yinqyueh.
Yinqyueh looked at the drink curiously. After stirring the drink, he smiled. "Oh, I know. This is Jianroei Ice. An iced sweet dessert that contains droplets of green rice flour jelly. Hmm… It tastes so sweet."
Shannchyuan laughed when he saw Yinqyueh's radiant face. The girl looked so cheerful.

They walked into the living room. Shannchyuan now intended to stand guard in the living room, as Shinnshiow had done earlier. Unlike Shinnshiow, Shannchyuan was not alone. There was Yinqyueh, who accompanied him, sitting there while enjoying the Jianroei Ice. After that, they watched television for some time. Late at night like that, television shows were less interesting. Despite that, they tried to enjoy it.
Shannchyuan didn't know how long they had been watching television when Iren came from the kitchen. His face was so bright. He seemed to have brought some good news.
"Shinnshiow and Yihshyong found something!"
"Ah!" Shannchyuan smirked. "I'm going down there now."
"Can I come with you?" Yinqyueh asked.
Shannchyuan thought for a moment. "You're afraid of the dark, aren't you?"
"Of course not!" Yinqyueh answered quickly.
Shannchyuan tilted his head while looking at Yinqyueh. "Is that true? Aren't you the least bit afraid?""
"Okay, maybe a little. But that's if I'm alone. In a crowd, of course, I won't be afraid." The girl's voice was steadfast.
"Okay then. You can come down there. But remember! You must always be by my side."
"Okay. Uncle, you don't have to worry!" Yinqyueh spoke loudly. She smiled so widely.

The three of them then walked towards the backyard. In one corner of the backyard, Jenqyih was already standing by the side of the hole. Yinqyueh came down first, then Shannchyuan followed her. Before descending into the hole, Shannchyuan ordered that after he was down there, Iren should immediately head to the living room to guard there. He asked Jenqyih to stay at the edge of the hole. After that, Shannchyuan went into the hole.
Having previously gone down and up the hole, Shannchyuan had gotten a little used. He could move faster. What was surprising was Yinqyueh. At first, Shannchyuan, Iren, and Jenqyih thought it would take Yinqyueh a long time to get to the bottom. Turned out they were all wrong. From the moment they tied the rope to Yinqyueh's body to the moment they lowered the girl to the bottom of the hole, everything happened so fast. Shannchyuan was under the impression that it was not the first time Yinqyueh had done such a thing. He had only known Yinqyueh yesterday. Of course, there were many things he didn't know about the girl.
