The last glimmer of the sunset gradually faded, and the darkness swept in like a tide, with the half-moon rising in the night sky, accompanied by the stars.
Rose bushes were as densely packed as the stars in the sky, their pink petals even more ethereal and beautiful in the pale moonlight, emitting bursts of fragrance.
Everyone fell silent, the courtyard quiet, with only the sounds of insects and frogs coming from outside. Qian Yixiu stared blankly at the mountains, Cheng Yue stared at the rose bushes, and Qian Manxia kept looking around restlessly.
Suddenly, there was a noise at the door, along with Dashan's barking.
Qian Manxia got up and opened the door, and Dashan darted in. Qian Yixiu went over and smacked it, scolding, "You're getting more and more out of line, why are you only coming back now?"
Qian Manxia also said, "That's right, it's always gone from dawn till dusk these days, never coming home until it's dark." She said this while glaring at it.
