Lin Anning returned to Hongqigou when the sky had completely darkened.
In the village, every household had finished their dinner and, with lights out, had gone to sleep early.
From a distance, all was pitch-black.
The moonlight above shone brightly, scattering silver brilliance all over the ground.
Huo Shen escorted her back to the youth spot, which was now eerily quiet compared to its usual lively atmosphere.
Wang Jing and Yadan had long since fallen asleep, unaware of the noise outside.
Lin Anning opened the door, ready to enter the house.
"You, you should also rest early."
Huo Shen hooked her hand, reluctant to let go.
His dark eyes fixed on her intently.
"Just letting me leave like this? Won't you invite me in to sit for a while?"
Lin Anning, thinking about what happened in the cinema today, felt her face heat up.
It would have been fine on any other day, but today she truly didn't have the courage to invite Huo Shen in alone.
