Su Shu said, "Couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?"
Little Snake King: "Why not... take me out to see?"
A minute later, Su Shu returned from outside the space with Little Snake King, a puzzled look on her face.
A human and a snake stood silently at the courtyard door, watching Xiao'ai play hide and seek with Fox, laughing heartily.
"Where on earth did you dig up this child?" Little Snake King shivered.
"... From the welfare home."
"You saw it this time, didn't you?"
"Mmm."
"Red?"
"Mmm."
"Su Shu, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."
"Go ahead."
"Only the dead and monsters see the moon as red."
"..."

Tang Zelin came back a bit late, and when he pushed the door and entered the house he thought both of them were asleep, so he moved quietly.
The room was pitch-dark; he lit the kerosene lamp at the entrance and quietly went to check on Xiao'ai's room. Seeing that the child was already asleep, he then went back to his own room.
