Firefly glanced at the hand Lin Shuang was holding, pouted, and made a very cute expression.

So the two found a spot on the edge of a cliff and sat down close together.

In the pitch-black night, only the flames surrounding the two provided a sliver of light.

He held Firefly's hand without letting go, and Firefly never broke free.

"Ha--"

Facing the sea breeze, Lin Shuang tilted her head back and yawned.

Are you still sleepy?

"It's alright, let's talk for a bit."

Lin Shuang leaned against Firefly's shoulder, then smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, you said you don't have the ability to dream, Penacony?"

"Silver Wolf has a solution, although we can't use the Dream Pool to enter dreams normally; we might be mistaken for stowaways."

"Hmm... is that so? But I can help you with the identity issue."

Firefly didn't elaborate, but since it was Silver Wolf, Lin Shuang didn't think it was a big problem.

"Is that Firefly?"

"You already knew that?"

"Of course! Hehe~ Please call me Miss Firefly, who knows everything."

The Firefly proudly raised its head, with an expression that said, "Praise me!"

"Wow--Miss Firefly is amazing--"

"That's so perfunctory! Really."

Firefly blushed deeply after being embarrassed by Lin Shuang's monotone reading and nudged Lin Shuang with her shoulder.

Then Lin Shuang bumped into him again.

There was a moment of silence between them, then Firefly suddenly spoke again:

"How about we go dancing at Blue Hour sometime? A gorgeous dress, beautiful music, and a dance partner... I really want to experience that."

Although Firefly's plan sounded good, Lin Shuang nodded, then suddenly remembered yesterday's diving, and turned to ask:

"... That's good, but Miss Firefly, can you dance?"

"Hehe~ You can learn it later."

"..."

Firefly stuck out her tongue and pretended to be stupid, while Lin Shuang shrugged helplessly.

Then he suddenly stood up and pulled the puzzled Firefly to his feet as well.

"What's wrong? Oh--"

Firefly gasped in surprise, puzzled, while Lin Shuang smiled and pulled her into his arms, wrapping his arms around Firefly's waist.

"Let's not wait until later, let's start learning now, otherwise I'm afraid you'll forget because you're busy."

"I won't forget, I'll ask Kafka to teach me."

Firefly Ying pouted and complained, but still obediently placed one hand in Lin Shuang's palm and put the other hand on her shoulder.

"Shouldn't I be the one jumping the male position?"

Even without shoes, Firefly is still slightly taller than Lin Shuang.

"You don't know how either? Just let me guide you!"

Lin Shuang used voice commands to ask her phone to play a piece of music.

Then, the two of them, dressed in swimsuits and barefoot, danced around the flames on the cliff.

Her long, flowing hair shimmered in the firelight.

As time goes by.

On the distant, pitch-black horizon, the first ray of light suddenly appeared.

The light that pierced the night sky illuminated the Firefly's eyes in that instant.

This made those bright eyes appear even more dazzling.

"The sun has risen."

Lin Shuang stared intently at the Firefly before her, her beautiful, jewel-like eyes reflecting the sunrise on the horizon.

"Why aren't you looking at me? What are you staring at me for...?"

Firefly, feeling a little embarrassed by Lin Shuang's gaze, visibly blushed.

"But your eyes also hold the beauty of a sunrise."

"Pfft... I won't let you see it, go watch the sunrise over there!"

Firefly couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes narrowing as she deliberately blocked Lin Shuang's view.

The hand resting on her shoulder extended its fingers and pressed them against Lin Shuang's cheek, drawing her gaze towards the sunrise.

Lin Shuang didn't resist. Following the force of the Firefly, she turned her head and looked at the gradually brightening horizon.

The two of them gradually stopped walking.

Meanwhile, while Lin Shuang was looking at the sunrise, Liu Firefly carefully examined Lin Shuang's profile illuminated by the sunlight.

To be honest, although Lin Shuang always says she's pretty...

But Firefly felt that Lin Shuang's pure blue eyes were even more captivating.

Just then, Lin Shuang raised her phone and took Photos of the sunrise.

Then it was sent directly to Acheron.

Lin Shuang didn't avoid the question, so Firefly saw the conversation between Lin Shuang and Acheron and asked curiously:

"You and Miss Acheron have such a good relationship."

"Well, after all, it was Acheron who saved me in the first place, otherwise I might not be alive now."

"Is it about your experiences before you went to the Xianzhou? May I ask?"

Firefly suddenly became curious; Elio hadn't gone into detail about Lin Shuang's experiences.

They only knew the general outline, but not the details.

"Sure, but there's really nothing special about it..."

Lin Shuang, quite directly, told Firefly the story of her first encounter with Acheron as the sun rose.

"Oh, something like that actually happened? Hehe, I wish it had been me, so I could have seen your expression back then, Lin Shuang."

"You were still wearing Sam back then, weren't you? I'd probably be terrified if I'd run into you."

Lin Shuang couldn't even imagine how bizarre the scene would be if she had Bowing to Heaven and Earth Sam back then.

"Hmm, that's true... after all, Sam has a terrible reputation outside."

Firefly naturally had no idea what Lin Shuang was thinking, and only assumed that Lin Shuang was afraid of Stellaron Hunter Sam at that time.

As she said this, Firefly suddenly noticed something out of the corner of her eye, and her tone immediately became cheerful. She even bounced twice in Lin Shuang's arms:

"Look, the sun is fully up—a new day has begun!"

"I see it, Firefly. Do you really like sunrise?"

Lin Shuang was more excited about the Firefly than she had imagined.

"Yes! I love watching the sunrise and feeling each new day in the world; it's a wonderful feeling."

As she spoke, Firefly suddenly turned around and stared directly into Lin Shuang's eyes without any attempt to hide her gaze.

"Lin Shuang, would you like this world where the sun still rises?"

Of course I like it.

Lin Shuang looked directly into Firefly's eyes and gave her answer.

Volume 1: Chapter 223 Acheron: Is this Firefly?

After spending two days with Firefly on the Resort Planet, our date came to an end.

After all, Firefly is still a member of the Stellaron Hunter, and she still has missions to complete.

Unlike Lin Shuang, who was unemployed and had nothing to do every day.

After leaving, Lin Shuang set her sights on the Xianzhou's residence.

We received news on March 7th that the Star Rail Express was preparing to depart.

The next stop, although not yet decided, will definitely be the Xianzhou.

As for Lin Shuang arriving early, she planned to visit Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan first.

Lin Shuang wanted to borrow some books about the Permanence to read, but she figured only the Sushang had such things.

Therefore, it might be easier to handle if Jing Yuan were to step in.

Of course, Lin Shuang's return journey wasn't directly teleported; the unmanned Spaceship would take care of sending the passengers home.

However, given the special nature of her profession, Firefly didn't choose this service and teleported back directly.

Lin Shuang didn't care, so she chose not to waste money and took the boat back.

The only downside was that I was alone on the return trip, which was a bit boring.

Then--

"Help me, Sister Acheron!"

"...?"

Because she was suddenly pulled back, Acheron thought that Lin Shuang had encountered an enemy and was looking for her to fight.

The moment he appeared, his long sword was already drawn, and his long hair turned white.

However, the moment he landed, the restrained killing intent didn't detect any enemy. Instead, he saw Lin Shuang, who was wearing a swimsuit and lying in a large pool.

"Gepard ~"

Lin Shuang leaned against the Hot Spring, tilted her head slightly, and squinted at Acheron.

Enveloped in the rising steam, Lin Shuang's delicate face flushed slightly, making her look exceptionally delicious.

"... Where am I?"

"On the Spaceship heading to the Xianzhou, I was feeling bored by myself, so I thought I'd invite you over to soak in the Hot Spring."

Lin Shuang raised her hand and waved towards Acheron.

"You... you scared me! I thought you'd run into the Emanator again."

Seeing that Lin Shuang was unharmed, Acheron sheathed his sword, and at the same time, his long white hair disappeared.

"It's not that easy to run into Emanator. Besides, didn't I tell you I was on vacation on an Island planet?"

Acheron smiled and shook his head, then unbuttoned his coat and boots.

It was just Lin Shuang and herself here, so Acheron didn't really matter to her.

"Here's a swimsuit for you. Or would you prefer not to wear it?"

As Acheron unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his well-defined muscles, he glanced back at Lin Shuang.

His gaze pierced through the water and mist, taking in Lin Shuang from head to toe.

"Let's wear a swimsuit. You only prepared it because you wanted to see me in one."

She chose a style that was almost the same color as her hair.

It's obvious that it was specially picked out.

Not wearing it would seem a bit disrespectful to Lin Shuang's feelings.
