TL: Moonlit

The last chapter T~T

After the military training period passed for Lin Xing and Long Yan, they were not as busy anymore. After officially starting classes, they occasionally had some free time to rest.

On their rest days, there were still classes for Lin Chen, and Long Yan accompanied him to class. When Long Yan appeared with his handsome face, it immediately caused a stir in the classroom. Everyone watched as he walked over to Lin Chen and gently knocked on the desk, asking, “Can I sit here?”

Lin Chen looked up, and Long Yan’s figure was reflected in his blue eyes. “Sorry, this seat is reserved for my partner.”

The classroom fell into silence after this statement. No one expected Lin Chen to reject such a handsome guy with those words! However, the next moment was even more surprising: the handsome guy smiled and said, “Well, that’s a coincidence because I happen to be your partner.”

And then, he sat down beside Lin Chen.

Everyone: “…”

So, this was a couple’s little game?

From that moment, Long Yan had a name in Lin Chen’s class. Some of the girls who had fantasies about Long Yan before quickly gave up after finding out he was Lin Chen’s partner. How could they compete? Lin Chen had an excellent family background, knowledge, and, most importantly, he was good-looking. They were a perfect match.

After giving up on their fantasies, they inexplicably started shipping the couple when they occasionally saw them on campus.

On Lin Xing’s side, although he didn’t attend Mi Li’s classes like Long Yan did, he always waited at the academy gate whenever he had time to pick up Mi Li after school. Sometimes, Su Jin would come to pick them up, and they would all return to their place to have a meal together.

Life passed comfortably and happily like this.

During the weekends when all four of them had time, they would plan outings. This time, they chose a newly opened traditional hot spring spa. After Lin Chen and Long Yan soaked in the hot spring, their usually fair cheeks turned slightly red due to the steam.

“I feel so hot. I want to eat some ice cream.”

After Lin Chen finished speaking to Long Yan, who was inside the dressing area, he hurriedly ran outside. However, as he lifted the curtain, he accidentally bumped into someone. When he raised his gaze, he met a pair of black eyes and paused for a moment before saying, “Sorry, I apologize for running into you.”

The other person took a step back, squinting his peach-blossom eyes, “Lin Chen?”

Lin Chen looked surprised as he felt a sense of familiarity with the person, “Do you know me?”

“Don’t you recognize me anymore? I’m Cheng Yu.”

Suddenly, Lin Chen remembered, “Oh, it’s you. It’s been a long time.”

He hadn’t recognized Cheng Yu at first. After all, Cheng Yu had transferred away after one year of school, and there had been no news from him since then.

“Indeed, it’s been a long time. Did you come here alone, or…”

“Chen Chen, you’ll catch a cold if you don’t dry your hair.”

The curtain behind Lin Chen was lifted, and Long Yan, with his white hair, appeared in Cheng Yu’s eyes. When their eyes met, both of them showed a hint of surprise and understanding.

“I should have thought of it earlier. Are you two together now?” Cheng Yu naturally broke the silence. He still had the same temperament—gentle with a touch of dominance, yet handled things with tact.

Lin Chen turned to look at Long Yan and smiled, “Yes, we got married.”

A hint of confirmation flickered in Cheng Yu’s eyes as he nodded, “Congratulations. It’s rare to encounter each other here. You can consider today’s expenses as my treat. Don’t be polite with me; we’re classmates, and besides, this place is mine. Consider it your support, enjoy yourselves.”

After saying that, he left gracefully.

Once Cheng Yu had left, Lin Chen secretly glanced at Long Yan’s expression.

But when their eyes met, there was no sign of anger in Long Yan’s crystal blue eyes as Lin Chen had anticipated. Instead, a hint of amusement could be seen, “Why are you looking at me?”

“How would I know if you’re jealous if I don’t look at you?”

Lin Chen quickly retorted, turning his head away.

Long Yan reached out and covered Lin Chen’s head with a towel, “Didn’t you say you wanted to eat ice cream? Let’s go together.”

“Hey, if I had known this place was his, I wouldn’t have come.”

Feeling a bit awkward, Lin Chen muttered to himself, and Long Yan smiled, “Why won’t you come? Is he going to eat people?”

Lin Chen pulled the towel off his head and suddenly stared at Long Yan, “How come I feel like you don’t mind at all?”

Seeing the cute expression of the little female, as if asking if he didn’t care about him, Long Yan couldn’t help but find it adorable. He pulled Lin Chen back into the dressing area, closed the door, and pushed Lin Chen against the door panel. He then lifted Lin Chen’s chin and kissed him.

After the kiss, their breaths were a bit heavy, and Lin Chen could clearly see the suppressed desire in Long Yan’s eyes. In an instant, he felt his heart beating faster than usual.

“Now you’re mine, Chen Chen. No one can take you away,” Long Yan said.

Lin Chen hugged Long Yan’s waist and leaned in, nodding obediently, “I won’t leave. I’m yours.”

Lin Xing and Mi Li had been sitting in the common area for quite a while when they saw Lin Chen and Long Yan walking over, holding hands. “Why were you so slow?” Lin Xing asked.

Lin Chen handed the other ice cream in his hand to Mi Li, saying, “Here.”

Mi Li smiled and took it, saying, “I thought you two went somewhere else first!”

Lin Chen gave a guilty glance at Long Yan, blushing, and shook his head, “We enjoyed the hot spring for a little longer.”

Lin Xing looked at Long Yan’s satisfied expression and chuckled, “I’m hungry. Let’s order some food. How about some skewers and some drinks? Just thinking about it makes me feel great.”

Finally, the four of them ordered a large pot of skewers, along with some cold side dishes and drinks.

They enjoyed eating, drinking, and chatting, and they didn’t leave until late.

When they were about to pay, Lin Xing overheard the staff inside saying that they were comped1a colloquial term that is short for “complimentary” or “compensated.” It is often used to describe something that has been provided for free or without charge, as a courtesy, or as part of a special arrangement.. He couldn’t help but be surprised, “Is there a mistake?”

“No, it’s because our boss personally made arrangements.”

“Boss? Do we know him?” Lin Xing blinked, showing his doubt.

Just as they were about to leave, Cheng Yu came out from inside, “I believe we do know each other. Long time no see, Lin Xing.”

“Wow, Cheng Yu! Long time no see. So, this place belongs to you!” Lin Xing exclaimed in surprise.

“Yep, did you have fun?” Cheng Yu asked.

“It was great, very enjoyable. Thanks for today. I’ll treat you to a meal another day,” Long Yan replied.

“Sure, see you later.”

After coming out, Lin Xing walked over to Lin Chen, “Do you know that this place belongs to Cheng Yu?”

Lin Chen nodded, “I knew it earlier than you did. We bumped into him as we came out of the hot spring.”

Hearing Lin Chen’s explanation, Lin Xing teased, “Did Long Yan also meet him?”

Lin Chen nodded again.

Lin Xing laughed and patted his head gently, “Long Yan is not so petty.”

Deep inside, Lin Chen couldn’t help but think that Long Yan indeed wasn’t that petty. He was the kind of person who focused on practical matters, and he wouldn’t let others see that he cared about certain things. But when it came to certain aspects, especially in private, it might be a different story.

However, he didn’t want to talk to Lin Xing about such matters.

After playing all night, the four of them returned home separately.

The moment they closed the door, Long Yan pushed Lin Chen onto the bed. After restraining himself all night, he couldn’t bear it anymore.

The next morning, when Mi Li and Lin Xing came down to call them for breakfast, no one answered the door.

They exchanged glances, knowing what had happened, and left with a smile.

Lin Chen not only missed breakfast but also missed morning classes.

When he woke up, Long Yan had already cooked porridge. Seeing the little female sitting up with a messy head of hair, Long Yan walked over and smiled, “Are you okay, Chen Chen?”

Lin Chen grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, saying, “Long Yan, you’re such a jerk.”

He had almost thought he would die in bed last night.

Long Yan’s eyes filled with guilt, and he reached out to ruffle Lin Chen’s hair, saying, “I’m sorry, I…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Chen hooked his neck and pulled him closer, giving him a peck on the corner of his lips. He smiled and said, “But I quite like you this way.”

Long Yan’s eyes sparkled with joy at Lin Chen’s words, and he leaned in to deepen the kiss.

After the kiss ended, Long Yan took Lin Chen to freshen up briefly and then settled him at the dining table. After drinking some porridge, Lin Chen finally felt fully awake. “Mm, I have classes in the afternoon.”

“I’ll accompany you.”

“Of course, you have to accompany me, because we didn’t go to morning classes together.”

“It’s my fault.”

“Never mind, I won’t hold it against you. Who told you to be so good-looking?”

Being good-looking made everything forgivable!

Long Yan touched his head, “You’re good-looking too.”

Their eyes met, and they both felt an affectionate bond between them. Seeing things might escalate again, Long Yan averted his gaze and asked, “What are your plans for the vacation?”

“I don’t have any plans. How about you?”

“How about going on a trip?”

“Sure! Where to?”

“I’ll tell you when the time comes.”

“Why so mysterious? Are you preparing a surprise?”

“Yes, so you can’t ask.”

“Okay, but I’m already looking forward to it.”

After changing into their clothes, Lin Chen and Long Yan went to attend classes.

During class, Long Yan received a call midway and went out to take it. When he returned, he bought Lin Chen his favorite takoyaki.

Lin Chen smiled when he saw it and said, “Is it the school looking for you? You don’t need to worry about me, go back and take care of your business.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll accompany you home in a while, and then I can go over there.”

“Really?”

“When have I ever lied to you?”

Lin Chen curved his eyes and sweetly smiled at him.

However, starting from that day, Lin Chen noticed that Long Yan seemed to be unexpectedly busy. He casually mentioned it to Mi Li and found out that his brother, Lin Xing, was also busy lately.

“Could it be something happening at the military academy? If Long Yan were busy on his own, we could say it’s abnormal, but with the two of them together, it feels different.”

Mi Li, who was also worried, nodded, “Now that you mention it, I feel relieved too. Maybe there are just too many things going on at the school. The military academy is different from other colleges, and some matters are not easily shared with the outside world.”

Lin Chen nodded, and the two little females comforted themselves.

Until the evening, Long Yan returned and suddenly said, “Lin Chen, I need to go out for a few days. I have a mission to take care of.”

“What kind of mission is it?”

Lin Chen could tell from Long Yan’s expression that he was somewhat hesitant. “So, is it something you can’t tell me?”

Long Yan nodded and walked over, “I can assure you that there’s no danger in this matter, but it’s something I have to do. Can you wait for me for three days?”

“Just three days, is that enough?”

“Yes, just three days.”

“Alright, you better keep your promise. I’ll wait for you to come back.”

As Long Yan and Lin Chen were having their conversation, Lin Xing was also talking to Mi Li.

Facing the separation, the two little females felt sad, and the large space was filled with the oppressive atmosphere before the departure.

Early the next morning, Long Yan and Lin Xing left home.

Lin Chen went to find Mi Li and noticed that Mi Li’s eyes were red. Apparently, compared to him, Mi Li was more sensitive to the separation. “I don’t know what they are up to, going away for three days. Let’s spend these three days together.”

Mi Li nodded, “Do you want something to drink?”

“I want some alcohol. Although it’s not good to drink in the early morning, I just want some. I feel sad too.”

Mi Li sniffed, “Me too. I don’t know if they will encounter any danger during this time away.”

The two little females sat on the sofa, drinking alcohol, expressing their feelings of desolation to the fullest.

“Long Yan, that big liar! He clearly said he would take me on a trip during the vacation, but he left me alone at home and ran away.”

Mi Li nodded, “Xing Xing is also a liar. He said the same thing, but now they both went away.”

The two little females drunkenly hugged each other, showing mutual sympathy.

They spent two days in a haze in the room. Early on the third day, when Lin Su opened Mi Li’s front door, the smell of alcohol rushed in.

When he entered and saw the two little females curled up on the sofa, half-asleep and half-awake, he couldn’t help but cry and laugh.

He opened the windows and gently patted each of them, saying, “Chen Chen, Mi Mi, wake up.”

Hearing Lin Su’s voice, Lin Chen was the first to open his eyes. “Female Father, why are you here?”

Mi Li sat up and rubbed his eyes. “Female Father.”

“Hurry up and wake up, wash your faces. We’re going out soon.”

He pushed the two little females separately into the bathroom. Standing behind the door, Lin Su heard Lin Chen ask, “Where are we going?”

“You’ll find out in a bit. Hurry up and get yourselves cleaned up.”

After saying that, Lin Su paid no further attention to the two little females and went to tidy up the messy room.

When the two little females finished bathing and changed into clean and beautiful clothes, Lin Su pushed them out again. Once they boarded the hovercar, Lin Chen asked again, “Female Father, where are we going exactly?”

Lin Su turned to look at them, “Don’t ask, you’ll find out when we get there. It’s a good thing, anyway.”

“A good thing?” This left the two little females even more puzzled.

When they arrived at the spaceport and boarded the starship, Mi Li’s eyes turned red. He softly called to Lin Su, “Female Father, is it possible that Xing Xing…?”

Seeing Mi Li like this, Lin Su knew he was thinking too much. “What are you thinking? Xing Xing and Long Yan are both fine. Just hurry up and go see them.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen had a thought, “Female Father, could it be that Long Yan and Xing Xing have prepared some surprise for us? So, they are not actually on a mission, right?”

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Mi Li’s eyes brightened instantly.

He looked at Lin Su expectantly.

Lin Su felt that his cub was too smart. He didn’t say anything, and they already guessed it. “I’ll say this first—I don’t know anything. I only received a message from them in the morning, asking me to bring you to the starship. As for what they’re planning, you’ll have to ask them yourselves when you meet them. Alright, both of you go rest and get rid of the dark circles under your eyes.”

Even though Lin Su didn’t tell them, Lin Chen and Mi Li felt relieved as long as Long Yan and Lin Xing were not on a dangerous mission.

The two of them went back to their room, slept well for a while, and then had another meal.

When they heard that the starship was about to arrive at its destination, Lin Su brought them suitable suits.

Seeing this, the two little females couldn’t help but ask, “Female Father, what’s this for?”

“Don’t ask, you’ll find out soon.”

At this stage, the secret surprise was already apparent.

After Lin Su left, Lin Chen and Mi Li glanced at each other, both eyes filled with uncontrollable delight.

Could it be exactly what they had been thinking?

As they disembarked from the starship, they saw a vast plaza with flowers lining the path. Two hovercars were parked opposite the starship. As they walked up the red carpet, immediately, tall and imposing males in uniforms led the way for them and helped them onto the hovercars.

Lin Chen couldn’t help but ask the person beside him, “Did Long Yan send you here?”

The person smiled and said, “You’ll find out soon, sir.”

The car slowly entered the main road, not using the flying mode. As they glided along the spacious road, Lin Chen and Mi Li saw flower clusters on both sides of the road, portraying their images and the experiences they had shared together along the way.

Lin Chen and Mi Li couldn’t help but get teary-eyed, and their lips curved into smiles.

These two people had deceived them, but it turned out they came to prepare such a surprise.

It was truly a mix of emotions, feeling both angry and delighted.

When the car reached the end of the road, what came into view was a golden sandy beach, balloons, and a platform built on the beach.

The two people who had worried them for three days were standing on the red carpet of the platform, waiting for them.

Lin Chen and Mi Li could hear the sound of their own heartbeats.

When they each received a bouquet of flowers and the music started playing, Lin Chen and Mi Li took steps in sync with the music, walking on the red carpet toward their beloved ones.

Their steps were firm and strong, and in their hearts, they knew that the person before them was the one they had chosen, the right person.

When their hands finally joined, Lin Chen was embraced by Long Yan.

“I’m sorry, did I worry you?” Long Yan said.

Lin Chen hugged him back and whispered in a voice only they could hear, “You’ll get it when we get back.”

Mi Li’s eyes turned red, “Xing Xing, you’re so annoying, making me cry again.”

Lin Xing held him close, “This is the last time, I promise!”

The romantic wedding took place under the blue sky, in front of the white clouds and the azure sea, ending with blessings from family and friends.

After the wedding, Lin Xing and Long Yan took their respective partners back to their rooms. As soon as the door closed, Lin Chen pressed Long Yan against the door, asking, “So, how long have you and Lin Xing been planning and plotting this?”

Long Yan embraced him, “About half a year ago, Xing Xing and I started discussing this. I’m sorry, Chen Chen, we didn’t mean to keep it from you, but we really wanted to give you a surprise.”

“No need to apologize. I still really love this surprise, thank you, Long Yan, for being willing to spend so much time and effort to do this for me. I’m really happy,” said Lin Chen, no longer serious, smiling again, with two adorable dimples at the corners of his lips.

Meanwhile, Lin Xing was squatting in front of Mi Li, asking, “Mi Mi, I’m sorry that I made you worry.”

Mi Li looked at him and replied, “I was worried, but also very happy. Thank you, Xing Xing, for being willing to prepare this wedding for us. When did you start preparing for it? Neither Chen Chen nor I had any idea.”

“Half a year ago, Long Yan and I informed everyone and wanted to prepare a surprise for you two,” Lin Xing said, kneeling down on one knee, leaning in to kiss Mi Li on the cheek. “Mi Mi, I won’t make you cry again in the future.”

Mi Li hugged him and said, “I believe you!”

After the wedding, the four of them enjoyed a long time playing on the island before returning to the capital star.

This time, the wedding also made up for the missed honeymoon after their certificate ceremony.

When they returned, all four of them were very satisfied.

However, after the wedding, they all had to continue with their studies.

Lin Chen officially entered the research lab where Qin Yi was located during his third year and would become a respected researcher after graduation.

Mi Li opened his own tea restaurant.

Lin Xing and Long Yan had not yet graduated from the military academy but had excellent prospects.

Lin Xing would become the legitimate heir of Prince William and inherit his Prince’s rights.

Long Yan would join the First Military District where his male father served, becoming a general guarding the Empire in the future.

Lin Su and William gradually stepped back from work and fully started to enjoy their own world of two.

In the evening, Lin Chen prepared a hot pot at home and invited Lin Xing and Mi Li to come over.

Mi Li brought a box of cake with him.

Long Yan opened some wine, and when Lin Xing came in, Mi Li grabbed a peach and started eating it.

“In a moment, we’ll have dinner. Can you still eat after having fruits now?” Lin Chen couldn’t help but say.

“It’s okay, eating fruits and having a meal use different stomachs,” Mi Li replied with a smile.

Lin Chen chuckled, “You’re just making things up.”

After placing the prepared dishes on the table, the four of them sat around it. “First of all, for this meal, congratulations to Mi Li for the success of your restaurant. Secondly, congratulations to myself for getting into the research institute smoothly. And congratulations to you two as well for entering the places you wanted to go!”

Lin Chen raised his glass and was about to take a sip when suddenly Mi Li covered his mouth and dry heaved.

Lin Xing quickly asked, “Mi Li, are you alright?”

Mi Li wanted to say he was fine and not to worry, but the nausea intensified, and he had to get up and rush to the bathroom.

The atmosphere became tense all of a sudden.

Lin Chen and Long Yan also got worried and followed after them.

However, for some reason, Lin Chen, perhaps influenced by Mi Li, also suddenly covered his mouth and dry heaved.

Then he rushed into the bathroom as well.

The scene turned chaotic in an instant.

Alarmed, Lin Xing and Long Yan hurriedly took them both to the hospital.

After a thorough examination, when the doctor came out with two reports and handed them to Lin Xing and Long Yan with a smile, the two were still a bit dazed. “Doctor, what’s their condition?”

“What’s their condition? See for yourselves in the reports. Congratulations to both of you,” the doctor said.

Congratulations? What’s the situation?

Then they saw the test reports, and it was written: Pregnancy Cycle…

An ominous feeling surged in their hearts.

Could it be that they were going to become fathers?!

“Congratulations to both of you! You’re going to be fathers, and the fetuses are healthy. Don’t worry.”

“But Doctor, is there any possibility that it’s a mistake?” Lin Xing couldn’t believe that their little world as a couple was about to change like this.

The doctor looked surprised and said, “How could it be a mistake? It’s impossible. Our hospital has the best equipment, the most advanced available, and it can’t be wrong. You can rest assured, you are definitely going to be fathers. I understand that you may find it hard to believe and be overwhelmed with joy. Is it your first time? It’ll get better in the future!”

Long Yan & Lin Xing: There won’t be a future; this unexpected surprise is more than enough!

At the end of the same year, Lin Chen and Mi Li each gave birth to a pair of twins.

The story of their parents is about to end, but the story of their little ones is a new beginning ^_^
