Tonight is a full moon, the lamps were already turned off, yet everything inside the room was still clear.

Two people were squeezed together in the bed, Gu Hai was sleeping nearby the window, when he inclined his head, he could directly see the moon hanging from the treetops.

"The moon festival is only two days away." Bai Luo Yin reminisced.

Gu Hai casted a glance towards Bai Luo Yin, his face was half-bright and half-dark, the moonlight softened the curves of his face. On normal days, his eyes are always cold and sharp, at this moment, they finally rested and the speed of his blinks had started to slow down, he often fixed his eyes on a corner, watching quietly.

"Why does the homeroom teacher look for you today?"

"How does your family celebrate the moon festival?"

"..."

The two questions, which were asked at the same time, caused the atmosphere of the room to become slightly awkward.

Gu Hai was waiting for Bai Luo Yin's reply while plotting an answer in his mind, he realized that it is quite difficult to hide the truth of his status like this. There cannot be a more suitable phrase for his current predicament than 'tell a lie once and you will tell countless more lies to cover the first one'. He feared that he can't stop the day where Bai Luo Yin spotted a clue regarding this matter, and when that moment comes, the aftermath will definitely become more serious.

Moreover, it was impossible for him to hide in this place all his life.

Even if he doesn't return and find Gu Wei Ting, Gu Wei Ting do everything possible to get him back.

If he doesn't resist, then his identity will be exposed right away; if he fight back, it will become the talk of the town and his identity will be completely revealed.

Therefore, no matter which path he walked, they are all dead ends.

He must win Bai Luo Yin's trust as soon as possible, build an indestructible and revolutionary friendship with him, after that, he will slowly reveal the truth to him.

"Our family had never celebrated moon festival, the most we did was buying one kilogram of moon cake."

Bai Luo Yin peeked at Gu Hai from the corner of his eyes, he noticed a special kind of aura from him, it is not the kind of aura that can be emitted by a person from a poor and ordinary family.

Gu Hai shifted to one side and propped his hand behind the back of his head, looking at Bai Luoyin in interest.

"How about your family?"

Bai Luo Yin smiled faintly, "We eat mooncakes of course."

Gu Hai caught the sight of Bai Luo Yin's smile and guessed that he definitely like to eat moon cakes.

"What kind of moon cake do you like to eat?"

"The one stuffed with egg yolk and lotus seed paste."

"Why do you like to eat that kind of filling?" Gu Hai expressed his confusion, "It's not sweet and also not salty, I'm bored eating those."

Bai Luo Yin inclined his gaze towards Gu Hai, "So, what kind of mooncake do you like? Tell me."

"The one stuffed with ribbonfish."

"Your family bought a ribbonfish-stuffed one?" Bai Luo Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why don't you say that you'd even eat the one stuffed with sheep tail?"
