Shuzheng Village had no streetlights or city neon. Apart from the lights in the residential courtyards, everything was pitch-black, as if the whole world were shrouded in shadow.
An You walked out with a flashlight, sweeping it around before looking up at the sky full of stars. "It's so dark!"
"Yeah, pitch-black."
"I feel like I've only seen nights this dark back in my hometown. Cities are always bright at night." An You sighed with emotion. "This place has mobile data and Wi-Fi too, but the people here live completely different lives from us."
"Aren't you going to call Brother An Yang first?"
"I'm still having a moment here. This is such a poetic atmosphere, hey! And you managed to steer the topic to your Brother An Yang in mere seconds!" An You rolled her eyes at her and sighed. "Forget calling him. I already asked where he was staying. We can just go over and knock. If that guy happens to be doing something improper, then I'll have the perfect chance to fulfill the duty Sister Xiao Qian entrusted to me!"
"You really are something. Sister Huang Lan and Brother An Yang are purely platonic friends, okay!" Xiao Xueer said helplessly.
"I'm not worried about Sister Huang Lan. I'm worried about Sister Rabbit. What if that guy can't control his animal instincts and won't even spare a disabled person with an underdeveloped IQ? Do you think Sister Rabbit looks like someone who could refuse him?" An You said, filled with concern. "I'm afraid she wouldn't even realize it if he took advantage of her!"
"Are you supposed to be this wary of your own brother?" Xiao Xueer was even more helpless. "Speaking of which, why do you have such a deep misunderstanding of Brother An Yang?"
"Well... it's nothing.
