"Then why ask when you already know!"

Hei Yang retorted fiercely, then sighed.

"Alright, alright, go to sleep now, we have to get up early tomorrow."

"What about the curtains? Aren't you going to draw them?"

"Let it run, I'm too lazy to get out of bed."

"Oh."

Hei Yang took a deep breath, put the book on the bedside table, and was about to turn over and hug his girlfriend to sleep when Hong Li was automatically placed in his arms, her face pressed against Hei Yang's chest, obediently letting him stroke her head.

"Take off the necklace, it'll be uncomfortable to sleep with it on."

"I won't take it off unless you take it off yourself."

"Okay, lift your head up a little."

"Ah."

"..."

"..."

The stars twinkled outside the window, and moonlight spilled onto the bedside.

A fierce wind howled through the forest, and wild wolves howled in the mountain streams.

Hongli secretly opened her eyes and, by the dim moonlight, examined the boy's muscular chest. Her breath hit it, and she could clearly hear his steady heartbeat.

"call……"

Hongli swallowed hard, her mouth slightly open involuntarily. After hesitating for a moment, her little hand sneaked in, and she gently poked the mouth with her index finger before quickly moving it away, holding her breath and her heart racing.

"..."

He didn't notice!

hey-hey……

Hongli's lips curled into a smile. She poked again. Safe. She poked again. Safe. Poking, poking, poking...

Hong Li's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Suddenly, her single finger transformed into a palm, and then all five fingers spread out. Hehehehehe...

Then she felt a sudden tightening at the back of her neck.

"what!"

The sudden attack made Hongli scream in surprise. The large hand that was supposed to be on her head had somehow slipped down!

"Black...Black...Black Sun?!"

Hongli's voice trembled slightly.

"You, you're not asleep!"

"uh-huh."

Hei Yang's voice was calm as he continued to coil his arms around the other person's neck, saying, "Disappointed?"

"Ah, ha, haha..."

Hongli chuckled twice, about to back down, but then felt she couldn't save face, so she simply buried her head in Heiyang's arms, gave a soft hum, and remained silent.

"Humph!"

Hei Yang: "..."

"Can't sleep?"

Hei Yang chuckled helplessly, released his hand and pressed it back onto Hong Li's head. Although the latter did not make a sound, she quietly moved her head up a little, making it easier for Hei Yang to pat her head.

"Normally, you should be sound asleep if there's been more than ten minutes of quiet. What's wrong with you today?"

"Huh? How did you know when I fell asleep? You clearly... Hmm, okay, I understand, no need to answer."

Hong Li pursed her lips, tilted her head slightly to look at Hei Yang, revealing her crescent-shaped eyes.

"Don't just talk about me, what about you? You weren't asleep either, were you?"

"Ah."

Although no one is bothered by them, Black Sun is used to speaking softly in the quiet night.

"When I thought about having to discuss important matters tomorrow and needing to get up early, I told myself to go to bed early. But the more I emphasized it, the less I could sleep. The less I could sleep, the more anxious I became. So I simply didn't sleep at all, and I was full of energy!"

"is it possible……"

Hong Li's expression turned serious as she said gravely, "You're about to die; this is a final burst of energy before death..."

"Snapped!"

"what!"

"Is it a final burst of energy before death, or not?"

"Tch, just kidding..."

Hong Li pouted: "I feel like my poor back must have a slap mark on it!"

"Come on, can't you tell whether I'm using force or not?"

Hei Yang rolled his eyes and threatened, "If you slander me again, I'll put cupping on your back and draw out all your Nirvana Fire."

"What the hell is cupping therapy...?"

Hongli suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but chuckle: "I remember once, my dad put two cupping jars on his head, and two big bumps swelled up on his forehead, one on each side."

Just like that dragon that guy encountered before, it seemed like it was about to transform into a dragon, hehe.

"Ah this..."

Hei Yang's lips twitched as he imagined the scene, but quickly cleared his mind again.

"When you mention this, I remember that Mom always told us we had to eat three meals a day, but we didn't eat anything during the day."

What's the use of thinking about it now?

Hongli rolled her eyes.

"What, you want me to get up in the middle of the night to cook you a meal?"

"It's not impossible."

"Fine my foot! I'll just chop you up and cook you!"

"What Hannibal..."

"Who is Hannibal? I don't know him, I'm not familiar with him, I don't know him at all."

Hongli pursed her lips and offered a suggestion.

"To be honest, you could just go to a restaurant in town and buy some ready-made food to take back and eat. It would only take a blink of an eye, wouldn't it?"

"Ha, why don't you blink?"

"But now that you mention it, I really feel hungry! I need to eat! Heiyang, go get me something to eat!"

"Climb, climb, crawl."

Hei Yang sighed and said quietly, "That's just how people are. When they're away from home, they crave everything."

Back home, there was a mountain of food to eat, and I had to be picky.

"Don't talk about that nonsense..."

Hongli restlessly rolled over onto Heiyang's back, moving from his right side to his left, clinging to his back like a backpack.

She felt she had found the safest spot—behind the black sun.

Little did they know, this only further provoked the person.

"I remember you said before that in your previous world, there were field missions?"

"Takeout, actually we have that in our world of travel too. I've seen people running around with lunchboxes in the capital."

"Oh, right, it's takeout."

Hongli realized what was happening and said with some anticipation, "You said they could deliver food to your door, which would be convenient and fast!"

"Ah, that's true. But you can't see what the kitchen looks like, so as for hygiene, hehehe, I won't comment further."

Hei Yang chuckled and sighed, "Perhaps there are some heartless people like us in the world of soaring through the clouds, but in Five Colors City, anyone who dares to do that wouldn't last two days."

"Ah, I remember the person in charge of the food safety team was an old man from the Bai family..."

Hongli nodded.

"That guy is not easy to fool. He always has a smile on his face and he can take people down. Everyone says that he used to be the head of the constables in the previous city lord's mansion."

"I have to clarify this for them."

Hei Yang whispered, "I heard my dad say that the previous head of the city lord's mansion was his apprentice, and he was the one before that."

"Uh, Ha..."

"But even so, it's no use."
