"Oh, I see." Chen Bin clicked his tongue, reluctantly withdrawing his hand. "Then you can get ready first. Do you need my help?" "No, I can do it myself." Seeing Chen Bin so obediently withdraw his hand, Zheng Yiyun's tone softened considerably. But her cheeks grew even redder, because she felt that her conversation with Chen Bin just now sounded like something only lovers would say. "I think I'm getting more and more used to him." Zheng Yiyun straightened her clothes, lightly biting her lip, and murmured to herself.
As Chen Bin admired her flushed face, he said softly, "Auntie, you seemed to have something to tell me earlier?" "It's really not easy for you to remember. I thought you only remembered pretty girls." Zheng Yiyun rolled her eyes at Chen Bin. "What was it?" Chen Bin ignored Zheng Yiyun's sarcasm and asked curiously.
"Didn't I tell you before? I'm going back to my hometown in the countryside. I'm leaving tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?" Zheng Yiyun asked Chen Bin casually.
"Go to the countryside? Just the two of us?" Chen Bin's eyes lit up.
"You wish!" Zheng Yiyun tossed a strand of hair behind her ear and casually said, "Xiao Bei will be coming with us too." "Oh, okay, no problem then. I'll pack my things tonight. What time do we leave tomorrow?" Chen Bin asked expectantly. "Our flight is at noon tomorrow. You need to be at my house by 10 PM at the latest. Don't be late," Zheng Yiyun said solemnly. As soon as she finished speaking, the Ferris wheel slowly came to a stop.
Zheng Yiyun stood up and walked gracefully outside.
Watching her retreating figure, Chen Bin paused for a second, then suddenly remembered something: "Should I buy a plane ticket now?" Hearing this, Zheng Yiyun stopped in her tracks, turned around, and smiled slightly: "Idiot, I already bought it."
As these words rang out, brilliant fireworks burst forth into the night sky. The dazzling light shone on Zheng Yiyun's face, making her exceptionally beautiful.
Chapter 136 The Battle Before Parting
"You've really thought this through," Chen Bin murmured to himself, his eyes softening considerably.
Before him stood Zheng Yiyun, leaning against the glass cabin door, smiling as she turned back, revealing her delicate, fair profile. Brilliant fireworks bloomed against the night sky behind her, their multicolored light bathing her and making her eyes sparkle. The scene was breathtakingly beautiful, deeply etched in Chen Bin's mind.
But what touched Chen Bin even more was that Zheng Yiyun always remembered him. This feeling of being cared for and remembered was truly wonderful.
"Of course, do you think everyone is like you, only remembering pretty girls?" Zheng Yiyun raised her chin, her pretty face slightly flushed. Because she felt that the way she addressed Chen Bin just now was a bit too intimate.
“Just tell him the tickets are already bought, why add ‘idiot,’ it sounds like we’re flirting?” Zheng Yiyun muttered to herself, raising her slender hand to cover her cheek, feeling a burning sensation spreading in her palm. “Why are you suddenly blushing?” Chen Bin walked to Zheng Yiyun’s side, looking at her beautiful profile with a puzzled expression.
"Because it's too hot," Zheng Yiyun said without hesitation, glancing at Chen Bin. She was equally adept at making excuses.
"Shall we continue playing?" Chen Bin glanced at his watch: "It's only 7:30, there's still plenty of time."
"I'm done playing. You should go home and pack your things. Get a good night's sleep so you don't have trouble getting up tomorrow," Zheng Yiyun said casually, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
But in reality, she was worried that if she continued playing, she would have closer contact with Chen Bin.
Moreover, the intimacy they had just shared on the Ferris wheel had stirred her emotions, and now she just wanted to go home and have some peace and quiet. "Alright then," Chen Bin nodded with some regret.
Seeing his disappointment, Zheng Yiyun bit her lip, turned and left, her light voice carried on the wind: "Let's play again next time."
Chen Bin was stunned, his regret instantly turning into joy. ● Under the dazzling fireworks, he quickly caught up with Zheng Yiyun.
The two walked side by side, their shadows intertwined, stretching long and thin in the bright moonlight… just like their future happy times.
Since Zheng Yiyun had driven there, she took Chen Bin home directly after leaving the amusement park. "Want to come upstairs for a bit?" Chen Bin asked, standing downstairs at his apartment building, looking down at Zheng Yiyun in the driver's seat. "No thanks, I'm afraid I won't be able to get down," Zheng Yiyun said irritably, glancing at the dark stairwell. Earlier on the Ferris wheel, because the time was too short, Chen Bin could only manage some physical intimacy with her.
But if she went upstairs with Chen Bin now, alone with him, who knew what he might do? "It's not that scary. I'm not going to eat anyone," Chen Bin muttered, watching Zheng Yiyun slowly close the car window.
"Pack your things and go to bed early." With that, Zheng Yiyun drove away. Chen Bin clicked his tongue, turned around and went upstairs. When he got home, he found the bedroom light was on. "Anuo's here?" Chen Bin raised an eyebrow, quickly walked to the bedroom door, and casually pushed it open.
A quick glance revealed Anuo lying on the bed playing on her phone, her smooth, white back exposed.
Following the line of sight down her beautiful back, one can see a thin blanket covering the peach-shaped mound, and glimpses of the spring scenery beneath the blanket.
"It seems to be getting firmer." Chen Bin's gaze lingered on Anuo's peach-like body before moving downwards. Her two straight and slender legs immediately came into view, her snow-white and rounded calves swaying gently.
Her translucent jade feet swayed, her delicate, fair skin with a rosy tint, making one's mouth water at first glance. "Why didn't you go home?" Chen Bin licked his lips and casually closed the door.
"Isn't this my home?" Anuo mumbled, turning her head, her two round breasts swaying slightly, temptingly alluring. "Pfft... I feel like you've grown up?" Chen Bin said uncertainly, looking at the two full breasts before him. "Come over here and measure them yourself," Anuo beckoned to Chen Bin, revealing a mischievous smile. "You said it yourself," Chen Bin's eyes burned slightly as he quickly walked to the bedside.
But just as he was about to reach out, Anno grabbed his wrist first, brought herself close to his face, and twitched her nose slightly. At the same time, she parted her red lips and murmured, "One, two, three..."
Chen Bin didn't understand what Anuo was doing, but he could see her full breasts so close to his eyes. On the snow-white surface, two red plum blossoms were reflected.
Chen Bin let out a soft breath and couldn't help but extend his finger.
Faced with Chen Bin's flirting, An Nuo pouted, slapped his hand away in annoyance, and looked at him with a half-smile. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Bin asked tactlessly, feeling inexplicably guilty.
"Because I discovered that you are a true master of time management. In just one day, you were able to have intimate contact with four women."
"This includes Zheng Yiyun, how did you do that?" Anuo rested her chin on her hand, looking at Chen Bin with a playful expression. "How do you know so much?" Chen Bin nodded.
"I can smell it. You smell like four women's perfume on you, the most obvious being Gu Wanxin's and Zheng Yiyun's. You didn't go to hotels with them, did you?" Anuo looked Chen Bin up and down, as if studying a new species. "Smell it? You can smell that? Are you a dog?" Chen Bin looked incredulous.
At the same time, a very serious question came to mind: if Anuo can smell these perfumes, can Zheng Yiyun also do so?
"I'm not a dog, but you're definitely a teddy bear, always flirting with everyone." Anuo rolled her eyes at Chen Bin and muttered. *Pfft...you've reminded me, I need to take more showers in the future.* Chen Bin sat on the bed, muttering to himself. Since acquiring the Immaculate Pill, he rarely showered.
Because the Immaculate Elixir can thoroughly remove dirt from his body, making it cleaner and more convenient than taking a bath.
But now he realized that the Immaculate Elixir didn't seem to remove the perfume scent from his body, which made Chen Bin very scared. He was going back to the countryside with Zheng Yiyun and Xiao Bei tomorrow, and he would definitely have close contact with them then.
If it weren't for Anuo's reminder, he might have recklessly sought intimacy with Zheng Yiyun after his fight with Ling Xiaobei.
The thought of that scene sent chills down Chen Bin's spine. He was so close, so very close, to going to hell.
"So the lesson you've learned is to take more showers? I thought you'd finally made up your mind to stop messing around with other women." Anuoduxi said lazily, lying on Chen Bin's lap.
Chen Bin looked down and saw two snow-white, round mounds right in front of him. Instinctively, he reached out and grasped them. His fingertips gently sank into them, feeling a breathtaking softness and smoothness, and he couldn't help but play with them.
At the same time, she reached out her other hand and pressed it against Anuo's flat stomach, tracing its shape around her rounded navel. "You really never forget things like this." Anuo muttered, then wrapped her snow-white arms around Chen Bin's waist. She then turned to the side, rubbing her lips and cheek against his through his clothes, feeling a burning heat. "You're lying naked in my arms; if I don't react, wouldn't that be a disgrace to you?"
"And I won't be appearing in front of you for the next few rounds, so cherish this night." Chen Bin said with a light laugh. Then he moved his gaze and saw that Anuo was wearing gray sheer thongs today, and he could vaguely see her pubic hair underneath. This alluring sight ignited a fire in Chen Bin's heart, driving his hand down her lower abdomen and into the sheer fabric. His fingertips moved slightly forward, touching a cluster of curved pubic hair.
Feeling the heat of Chen Bin's fingertips, Anuo's beautiful legs unconsciously came together, and her arms tightly wrapped around his back. His dark eyes became hazy, and he grasped the sword of the kidney warrior through her clothes, gave it a light kiss, and said indistinctly, "Xiao Bei told me that you were going to go back to your hometown with them."
“Yes, I estimate it will be three or four days. I still need to pack my clothes later.” After Chen Bin finished speaking, he pressed his fingertips against An Nuo’s heart.
The soft, smooth, and moist touch ignited a fire within Chen Bin, who gently caressed An Nuo's chest at her doorstep. His hand, which had been pressing against her heart, tightened, transforming her snow-white breasts into various alluring shapes. During this caress, An Nuo's supple waist arched involuntarily, and a soft moan escaped her lips as she whispered, "I've already packed your clothes."
"All packed?" Chen Bin looked around and, sure enough, saw a small suitcase against the wall. "Yes, remember to check to see if you forgot anything," Anuo murmured softly, breathing heavily. "This is the first time I've seen you so domestic," Chen Bin's eyes softened upon hearing Anuo's words.
For an orphan like him, this meticulous care always easily touched the softest part of his heart.
"What's the use of being virtuous? You still abandoned me to fool around outside, leaving me alone in this empty house, lonely and desolate." Anuo raised her head, her pretty face looking pitiful.
"You're only eighteen, why do you look like a thirty-eight-year-old resentful woman?" Chen Bin said with a light laugh, his fingers slowly moving forward. The invasion of her heart caused An Nuo's delicate body to tremble, and she couldn't help but bury her face in the sword of the kidney warrior, a soft moan escaping her lips. Hearing this captivating sound, Chen Bin slowly lowered his head.
Seeing Anno's delicate, fair face pressed tightly against the Kidney Warrior's Sword, bringing a smooth, warm, and wonderful sensation, Chen Bin's breathing became heavy due to the dual impact of sight and touch. His fingers slowly penetrated Anno's heart. Anno's delicate brows furrowed instantly, her eyes closed slightly, her long eyelashes trembled gently, and she breathed heavily. "Now, do you still feel lonely?" Looking at Anno's delicate face, Chen Bin's fingers slowly teased her heart. Waves of pleasure surged through Anno's heart. She squinted at Chen Bin and chuckled, "But this is not enough." "Don't rush, the night is still long." Chen Bin's lips curled up, and he slowly lowered his head to kiss Anno's cherry lips.
Chapter 137 A tender night spent together, sleepless.
Anno's lips are soft and sweet.
If Zheng Yiyun's red lips are like a fine wine, leaving a lingering aftertaste, then Anuo's cherry lips are like cotton candy. Just one bite is enough to sweeten your heart, making you intoxicated.
Beyond the softness and sweetness, there was a unique, delicate fragrance belonging to a young girl, lingering between Anuo's soft lips. Chen Bin's hands encircled Anuo's rounded shoulders, gently caressing her cherry lips, carefully savoring this sweetness. Because they were so close, their noses were almost touching, their hot breaths mingling as they gently rubbed against each other. Anuo's fair cheeks quickly became hot, flushing a faint pink, like a newly blossoming peach blossom. Delicate, beautiful, pure, and fragile.
Various words floated through Chen Bin's mind, but none were enough to describe Anuo's beauty and charm at this moment.
Chen Bin could only intensify his kisses, using passionate breaths to express his surging emotions and deep love for Anuo. Feeling Chen Bin's kisses grow stronger, Anuo wrapped her arms around his neck, a soft moan escaping her delicate nose. This sweet sound was like a battle cry, urging Chen Bin to pry open Anuo's teeth and enter her mouth. The warm, moist sensation traveled along his tongue, causing Chen Bin's lips to involuntarily curve upwards, his heart filled with pleasure.
He cupped Anuo's fair, smooth face in his hands, lowered his head deeply, and easily captured her delicate tongue. Their tongues lightly touched, then moved forward simultaneously, intertwining, and sweet saliva flowed between them. Although Anuo was only eighteen, still a naive young girl, she was always proactive and passionate when kissing. Her soft, delicate tongue, like a swimming fish, nimbly circled Chen Bin's tongue, sometimes gently sucking. Chen Bin enjoyed this lingering kiss, and couldn't help but think: Zheng Yiyun really should learn from Anuo. Despite being such a mature and charming young woman, she wasn't as proactive as this naive girl, Anuo, when it came to kissing. "What will it feel like to kiss when Anuo is a mature woman? It should be even more pleasurable," Chen Bin pondered, his hands slowly moving downwards.
His fingertips gently brushed across Anuo's smooth, fair cheek, the wonderful touch lingering on the rounded mound at her heart. His index finger and thumb caught a sliver of red plum blossom and gently pulled it away.
A faint pain instantly spread through Anuo's heart, causing her to exhale a sweet breath, and her eyes grew increasingly hazy. Her slender white hands tightly hooked around Chen Bin's neck, and the previously tender and lingering kiss now became fiery and intense. Emotions are contagious, and they spread very quickly.
Therefore, as Anuo's heart surged with emotion, Chen Bin's eyes also burned with desire, his fingers involuntarily clenching together. The red plum blossom, squeezed, gradually hardened like a pebble, its color deepening to a more crimson, revealing a touch of allure. This caused Anuo's brows to furrow slightly, feeling the pain in her chest intensify, yet mixed with a hint of pleasure. Her straight, slender legs unconsciously began to twist.
Seeing Anuo's growing arousal, Chen Bin opened his hand, perfectly cupping her rounded breasts and gently caressing them. At the same time, he gently lifted his head, kissing down Anuo's lips, past her chin and collarbone, stopping at her heart. In Anuo's trembling gaze, Chen Bin adjusted his position, wrapping his arms around her fragrant shoulders and burying his face in her snowy white cleavage. A captivating fragrance immediately wafted over him, swirling around his nose and mouth, causing him to involuntarily open his mouth and slowly lick it. During this kiss, Anuo's lips parted slightly, gently biting her fingers, her delicate face already filled with desire. A warm, moist sensation gradually overflowed in her heart.
Perhaps sensing Anuo's change in mood, Chen Bin ran his hands down her smooth back and pressed them against a mound of flesh. He then kissed her again, arriving at her private area.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Bin was overwhelmed by all of Anuo's most beautiful scenery, causing his heart to erupt like a volcano. "Stop looking." Feeling Chen Bin's gaze lingering over her heart, Anuo's voice involuntarily trembled.
Two snow-white, beautiful legs instinctively came together.
“Okay, I won’t look,” Chen Bin murmured, pressing down on Anuo’s thigh and kissing her already moistened heart. Before Chen Bin could make any move, Anuo couldn’t help but let out a soft moan, tightly covering her rosy lips. At the same time, she raised her other hand, pressing it against the roundness of her chest, as if kneading dough, shaping it into various forms. Chen Bin, with his head down, couldn’t see Anuo’s actions, but he could feel her heart growing warmer. The aroma of abalone gradually filled the air, tempting Chen Bin to slowly move forward, savoring another kind of nectar. Anuo endured Chen Bin’s kisses, her dark eyes narrowing, her slender, snow-white legs trembling involuntarily. From her rosy lips, a plaintive, sorrowful song escaped her lips.
The voice, tinged with a sob, ignited a fire in Chen Bin's heart, prompting him to kiss her deeply without hesitation. Anuo felt a profound touch on her soul; her waist tensed instantly, and her long, fair legs trembled violently. Warm raindrops welled up at that moment.
Chen Bin's face was soaked in the blink of an eye, looking like a drowned rat, and he looked rather disheveled.
But instead of looking up, he deliberately tasted the warm rainwater in front of him, which made Anno's feelings even stronger.
What started as a light drizzle turned into a downpour. The rain lasted for a full half minute before gradually subsiding.
When Chen Bin lifted his head while pressing down on Anuo's thigh, he saw that the paradise before him had been reduced to a mess. The small door was half-open, still dripping with warm rainwater, looking very tempting.
Chen Bin wiped his damp face, sat up straight, and looked up to see that An Nuo's pretty face was flushed. Her rosy lips were panting rapidly, causing her breasts to rise and fall, creating waves of white flesh. Two red plum blossoms seemed to sway and slowly bloom in the air.
"How does it feel?" Looking at Anuo's flushed face, Chen Bin smiled and reached out to gently stroke her snow-white legs. "I've made it so obvious, can't you tell?" Anuo murmured, lazily lifting her beautiful leg. Her snow-white foot dangled in the air, slowly landing near Chen Bin's lips, her rounded toes touching his moist lips. "Did you put perfume on your feet? It smells so good." Chen Bin grabbed Anuo's foot and sniffed.
"Why are you wearing perfume? Mine is all-natural, okay? If you want to kiss me, just say so, don't make up these excuses," Anuo said to Xi. "You're the one who asked me to kiss you, I didn't initiate it," Chen Bin said with a light laugh upon hearing Anuo's words.
Then, he cupped Anuo's delicate feet in his hands, lowered his head to kiss the snow-white instep, and rubbed his cheek against her tender skin. "Pervert!" Anuo muttered, blushing, as she felt her feet become wet from Chen Bin's kisses.
Her toes, like freshly peeled lychees, curled up involuntarily, while her neatly trimmed nails gleamed and looked exceptionally cute. "A bit, actually," Chen Bin nodded in deep agreement.
At the same time, he grabbed Anuo's other jade foot and pressed it against the Kidney Warrior's Sword, gently rubbing it with the sole of his foot, bringing waves of pleasure. "You never liked feet before, how come you've changed now?" Anuo pouted and sat up straight.
Then, stepping on the sword of the Kidney Warrior, he soothed Chen Bin's restless heart. "People always change," Chen Bin mumbled.
Then, she reached out with her other hand and gently stroked Anno's straight, shapely calves, feeling a breathtaking smoothness. "As long as your heart doesn't change, don't stay in the countryside for a few days and then be reluctant to come back," Anno whispered.
“How could I not come back? In the countryside, there are only two beauties, Aunt Zheng and Xiao Bei. But here, there are seven or eight beauties waiting for me.” Chen Bin raised his head and said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Anuo was taken aback, but couldn't help but smile: "That makes sense, you really understand."
"How could you not understand such a simple math problem?" Chen Bin muttered, moving closer to Anuo. At the same time, he pressed his Kidney Warrior Sword against her moist door.
"Why aren't you kissing my feet anymore?" Feeling the hardness and heat in her lower abdomen, Anuo trembled and murmured. "I'll kiss you later. There are more important things to do now." Chen Bin held Anuo's slender waist and slowly moved forward.
Anuo let out a muffled groan, feeling her heart filled with a burning passion, a familiar sense of fullness and pleasure instantly flooding her mind. Her delicate body tensed at first, then slowly relaxed.
"You're adapting faster and faster." Sensing Anuo's change, Chen Bin gently breathed into her ear. "That's called practice makes perfect. Even the coldest cave will become warm under the persistent heat of the sun." Anuo kissed Chen Bin's cheek, whispering with a soft laugh.
“No, I think this should be called love growing over time.” Chen Bin finished speaking and gripped An Nuo’s slender waist tightly. A crisp collision sound began to echo in the room.
Amidst that voice, Anuo's delicate body swayed rhythmically, her full breasts heaving like a newborn white dove. "Were you with Zheng Yiyun today?"
Anuo clung tightly to Chen Bin's back, her lips slightly parted, gently biting his shoulder, whispering as if in a dream. "When you say 'together,' what kind do you mean?" Chen Bin raised an eyebrow, biting into a snow bamboo shoot on Anuo's chest.
"Still pretending to be confused? Of course, it's like we are now!" Anuo muttered, rubbing her teeth against Chen Bin's shoulder. "No, Aunt Zheng and I are just a little close, not to the point we are now," Chen Bin shook his head. At the same time, he imitated Anuo, rubbing the blush on her chest with his teeth.
"No? It seems Zheng Yiyun still has some reservations. Then you'd better make a good impression when you go back to the countryside with her this time. It would be best to win her over there! You haven't had your way with her yet, have you? Apart from that noon." Anuo muttered. "No. After that noon, at most we had intimate contact, but nothing substantial happened." Chen Bin said, pressing his palm against a peach.
“Then this trip back to the countryside is a great opportunity for you.” Anuo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the peach being gently kneaded. “You really want me to have her? There’s nothing evil going on, is there?” Chen Bin raised an eyebrow, speeding up. Anuo immediately felt waves of intense pleasure assaulting her defenses, trying to break her down completely.
This caused her hands to unconsciously tighten, her fingertips digging into Chen Bin's back, leaving red marks of varying depths. After taking a deep breath, she slowly calmed down and said haltingly, "What evil purpose could I possibly have?"
"That's hard to say. Maybe you want to see Aunt Zheng get beaten up by me so you can laugh at her and, as the empress, boss her around like a concubine." Chen Bin muttered, leaning forward abruptly.
Under the sudden, powerful attack, Anno's head snapped back, her teeth clenched, and her nerves pounded. Her once impenetrable defenses were now crumbling.
Fortunately, Chen Bin didn't continue his advances, which prevented Anuo's defenses from crumbling, and she remained steadfast in her love. However, her face had become incredibly dazed as she leaned on Chen Bin's shoulder: "In your heart, am I the empress?" "You were the first, of course you're the empress. I strictly adhere to the principle of first come, first served," Chen Bin said matter-of-factly. "It's like an emperor choosing his concubines. You really want three thousand beauties, don't you?" Anuo pouted, but a slight smile played on her lips.
She didn't care about the position of the main wife, but the fact that Chen Bin valued her so much made her quite happy. Her slender waist even began to sway playfully.
Sensing Anno's cooperation, Chen Bin's previously calmed anger surged again, driving him forward abruptly. A new storm thus arose, raging within Anno's heart.
Her defenses gradually crumbled, her pearly teeth biting her cherry lips tightly, the tone of her voice a mixture of joy and pain. At the peak of her voice, her long, beautiful legs tensed, and love welled up, transforming into a shower of glistening raindrops. Chen Bin froze, his emotions exploding at that moment.
Under the torrential rain, the clean sheets were soaked through very quickly.
Chen Bin and An Nuo were oblivious to each other, clinging tightly to one another, breathing slowly, savoring the remaining pleasure. Neither of them spoke, yet their souls merged at that moment.
"What time is your flight tomorrow?" Anno whispered after regaining some strength.
"We need to be at Aunt Zheng's house by 10:00 or 12:00 noon," Chen Bin said softly, gently stroking Anuo's smooth back.
"Oh, I see." Anuo looked up at the clock. "It's only 8:30. Do you want to rest?" "Do you think I need to?" Chen Bin turned his head and gently kissed Anuo's delicate earlobe.
“Of course not!” Anuo curled the corners of her mouth and gave Chen Bin’s chest a hard push with her fair hand.
Chen Bin lay down on the bed and saw Anuo use her sheer panties as a hair tie to tie her long hair into a ponytail. Then she slowly sat on his lap, filling his empty heart once again.
"This is the first time I've ever seen someone use underwear as a hair tie." Chen Bin tugged at Anuo's ponytail, somewhat surprised.
“There’s a lot you haven’t seen yet.” Anuo bent down and pressed her hand against Chen Bin’s chest. “Tonight is going to be very long.” “You’re not planning to stay up all night, are you?” Chen Bin raised an eyebrow.
"Well, that depends on when I'm full." Anuo's lips curled up, her slender waist swaying gently.
Under the bright moonlight, the distinctive hair tie swayed, causing Chen Bin to click his tongue in surprise. Then, he saw Anuo part her red lips and begin to sing a beautiful song.
The chanting and the sounds of collision mingled together, echoing in the room for a long time. Just as Anno had said, the night was long, and no one was dreaming.
