Dusk gave way to moonrise, and the barracks had already turned out the lights.
On the mountain, there were sporadic points of light, twinkling in the deep night among the hills, creating a serene beauty.
Su Shu waited until late at night, making sure that a certain someone definitely didn't have the "guts" to come up the mountain today, before she couldn't help but laugh as she got down to secure the doors and windows.

Xiao'ai seemed not to be tired today, sitting on the bed fiddling with her cards.
Su Shu changed into her pajamas and also snuggled into the quilt, watching Xiao'ai lay out the word cards on the quilt.
