The moon is like a hook.
A crescent moon hangs on the dark blue sky, cold and bright, like a carefully polished silver sickle.
The night breeze blew gently, carrying the unique coolness of early spring, blowing the branches in the yard, making a subtle rustling sound.
Under the starlight, Zhao Linchuan and Ah Yin had finished their dinner, and they were sitting on the bench in front of Shi Mo.
Ah Yin lowered his head and said shyly:
"It's getting so late, shouldn't you go take a rest?"
"Okay." Zhao Linchuan clapped his hands on his knees, stood up, and said with a smile, "I'm going to have a rest. You should go to bed early."
"I'll wash up first, and then I'll go have a rest." Ah Yin said with wandering eyes, not daring to look at Zhao Linchuan.
"Well..."
Zhao Linchuan responded, then slowly walked towards the bedroom on one side.
Ah Yin looked at Zhao Linchuan's back and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
She patted her chest, pressed her palm gently on her heart, and murmured to herself:
"It's okay, it's okay..."
"He wasn't trying to do anything to me..."
After finishing his words, Ah Yin turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
"Squeak--"
"Bang--"
The sound of the door opening and closing was particularly clear in the silent night, like two crisp drum beats, knocking on Ah Yin's heart.
Ah Yin heard the sound and glanced back subconsciously.
The door was closed tightly, and only a faint light shone through the crack of the door, drawing a thin line of light on the bluestone floor.
Her lips were slightly open, her right hand tightly grasped the soft flesh of her heart, and the expression on her face was a bit complicated and unspeakable.
For some reason, Zhao Linchuan's gentlemanly behavior this time actually made Ah Yin feel a sense of loss.
This feeling is very strange. Obviously, what she has been worrying about, preparing for, and fearing has not happened. She should be happy.
But in her heart, it felt like someone had taken something away from her, leaving an emptiness that could never be filled.
For a moment, Ah Yin looked at the closed door. He completely forgot about his movements and froze in place.
Her mind went blank, as if someone had pressed the pause button, and all her thoughts stopped at that moment.
A long time.
A slightly chilly breeze blew by, blowing Ah Yin's hair, and a few strands of broken hair brushed her cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness.
The coolness was like a basin of cold water, pouring on her chaotic thoughts, bringing her back to reality.
"Alas..."
Ah Yin sighed after she came back to her senses. She shook her head, turned around, and continued walking towards the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of rushing water sounded.
Ah Yin, who was soaking in the bathtub, held up his palms with a lonely expression and looked at the warm water flowing from his fingers. He couldn't help but feel a little stuffy in his heart, as if there was a stone pressing on his chest and he couldn't breathe.
She doesn't know why she is like this...
Obviously everything went as she wished, it was obvious that the man didn't do anything to her, it was obvious that she should feel lucky, at ease and relieved.
But why, does it seem like something is missing in her heart?
About two quarters of an hour later.
Ah Yin, who had no intention of washing up, rinsed off hastily, put on a set of sky blue nightgown, and slowly returned to his room.
Soul Guidance Lamp lights up, and the orange light illuminates the dark room, illuminating every corner clearly.
Ah Yin casually threw the clothes he changed into on the chair, and then walked towards the inner room without stopping.
The curtain was opened and there was a slight "clatter" sound.
Just as she was about to walk towards the bed, a figure suddenly appeared behind her.
The figure came so quietly that Ah Yin had no time to react. She only felt a tightening around her waist, and a pair of warm hands came around from behind and held her waist firmly.
Ah Yin was stunned for a moment, then his body stiffened suddenly, his lips opened slightly, and he let out a suppressed exclamation from his throat.
Immediately, the loneliness on her face suddenly receded, replaced by boundless joy.
The joy came suddenly and violently, like a flood that broke a dam, drowning all her reason in an instant.
Ah Yin looked down at the hands folded on his lower abdomen, reached out and patted them, then turned his head sideways, looked at the man behind him, and said with a smile:
"I knew you wouldn't let me go..."
The night was "deep" and heavy, the "grass and trees" were speechless, and there was "no" words to say all night long.
The next day, early morning.
The mist is like gauze.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.
No, the sky has just brightened, and several sparrows have already fallen in the yard, competing for the rice in the cage with the chickens and ducks brought back by Zhao Linchuan yesterday.
The sparrows were so courageous that they got directly into the cage and competed with the chickens and ducks for food. They were chattering very lively.
"Really, it smells like it everywhere!"
Ah Yin opened the door with a delicate look on his face and kept mumbling.
She was wearing a light blue dress, her hair was pulled back, and a few strands of hair hung down by her ears, making her face even more beautiful.
"I don't understand. You have so many wives, how can you still not understand?"
"I didn't know to remind me that the bedding was soaked with dew..."
Thanks to the special physique of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's transformation and the exclusive healing ability of Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin is the only woman among Zhao Linchuan's wives and concubines who can get out of bed and move around independently without his auxiliary treatment.
Anyone else would probably not be able to get out of bed at this moment, but she was lucky enough to not only get down, but also stand there mumbling.
"I'm talking to you!"
When Ah Yin saw that Zhao Linchuan Jiujiu didn't answer, he put his hands on his hips and walked back angrily.
In the bedroom, Zhao Linchuan is sitting on a chair getting dressed.
Hearing the voice of Ah Yin, he raised his head and glanced at her.
Ah Yin came forward, blushed, and asked shyly, "Did you hear it?"
"Madam." Zhao Linchuan stood up, straightened his robe, and said helplessly, "Are you willing to listen to me teach you the experience of 'other people' under the same circumstances as yesterday?"
"I, I..."
Ah Yin was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and his cheeks became even redder, so red that he could bleed.
Her eyes were erratic, looking left and right, but she didn't dare to look into Zhao Linchuan's eyes. She stuttered for a long time before finally holding back a sentence.
"I, of course I am willing!"
"Then it's my fault. It's because I didn't think well. Is this going to be bad?" Zhao Linchuan replied angrily.
"Of course it's your fault..."
Ah Yin stiffened his neck and said, with a stubborn expression of "I am right."
"I-I'll cook for you. Let's go back as soon as we finish the meal. I'm in a hurry to practice."
After saying that, Ah Yin immediately ran away, the corners of her skirt flying in the wind, and she quickly disappeared outside the door.
Zhao Linchuan looked at Ah Yin's back and shouted loudly.
"In two days, ask your sister Zi Nu to take you with her. Spirit City, I will take you to meet your eldest sister."
"Got it...!"
