Shanzi held Xing'er even tighter. "I just want to bully you. I dream of bullying you relentlessly—"
"Xing'er, you're so soft—"
'This pair of illicit lovers,' Stone cursed inwardly. 'Couldn't they find another place?'
'What if this sullies the Young Master Heir's eyes?'
But a glance at Xiao Yu revealed his eyes gleaming with interest as he stared at the young couple in the moonlight.
Undeterred, Stone reached out a hand again, only to have it slapped away by Xiao Yu. "Don't interrupt. This is much more interesting than watching a play."
Fortunately, Shanzi didn't do anything more while hugging Xing'er. After a moment, he let go.
Xing'er began to sob softly, her small hands pounding on Shanzi's chest. "You bullied me! I hate you! You're mean—"
Shanzi caught her hands. "Yes, I am mean. I just want to be mean to you. Hit me right here."
He gripped her hands, rubbing them in his.
As he did, Shanzi said tenderly, "Xing'er, you... you're so pretty."
