He took a mooncake and put it on the kang, breaking it apart before giving her a piece. Then, he took the other half by himself, “Eat the mooncake.”

Lin Lan, “You can’t eat after brushing your teeth, your teeth will rot.”

Han Qingsong had already taken a big chunk off the snack and paused when he heard the words, “Then should I still eat?”

Lin Lan burst out laughing, “You can finish it since you already ate anyways.”

Han Qingsong bit into a piece of rock candy and motioned for her to take it and eat it.

If it were up to Lin Lan, she thought that the mooncakes were really unpalatable in this era. They were the kind with green and red shreds and rock candy inside, sometimes also filled with melon seeds and peanuts. Both the texture and the taste were very unique to her, but it was known that all children loved to eat the rock candy inside.

He was actually treating her like a child. She gestured her hand to say she didn’t want it, but thought that it was cute of him.

Han Qingsong looked down at her.

She was wearing a cotton vest that she sewed herself, revealing her fair skin, which had a jade-like lustre amidst the dim light. She was already beautiful but especially in the light, she looked even more radiant. Her eyes were like water waves that would drown and overwhelm anyone who dared to gaze deep.

He couldn’t get enough of her.

Her lips were as red as flower petals as he unconsciously bit the candy into his mouth and chewed it up with a loud crunch. Then, he placed the remaining mooncake in the bowl, no longer wanting to eat it.

Lin Lan looked at him, “After you finish eating, you have to rinse your mouth.”

Han Qingsong kept looking at her, and suddenly, he wanted to see her in the women’s undergarment and the pink scarf that he had both bought for her. His heart skipped a beat, so he leaned over to kiss her lips, giving her the rock candy that he was biting between his teeth.

Lin Lan groaned, wanting to say that she wasn’t going to eat the candy after brushing her teeth. Nevertheless, he took advantage of it and invaded every part of her mouth when she opened it with the intention to speak.

She was afraid that he would be rough since he had been abstinent for a long time, but as if he was a hunter, he was very patient as he explored and tasted the sweet sensation in her mouth.



Gradually, the moonlight came through and got brighter, shining brightly over half of the kang.

Han Qingsong picked her up and pulled the quilt to adjust both of their sleeping directions.

She wondered if he was too tall. Perhaps he felt that the south kang would not be long enough for him to sleep on. She didn’t realise his actions until the bright light shone in front of her eyes— he had placed her under the moonlight.

He propped himself up and looked at her. With his back against the light, his eyes were deep and dark. But under the moonlight, her cheeks were red and her eyes were as clear as water, blending in with the shimmer.

He didn’t move for a while, looking a little dazed.

Lin Lan moved, but it seemed to remind him to take the next step. His fiery lips were soon imprinted on her eyes, nose, cheeks, lips, and neck before travelling all the way down.

After a while of entanglement, he lifted the quilt and proceeded.



There was the sound of a ‘thump’ from outside the room.

“Xiaowang, what are you doing?” Maisui called him.

“I- I want mom, boohoo… I want mommy~”

Xiaowang’s sobs came from outside, and within the next moment, their door was pushed open. Han Qingsong immediately pulled up the quilt to cover himself and Lin Lan.
