The group glanced back and forth at one another.
Their eyes met, but no one could find the right topic to break the slightly awkward silence.
So they just sat there stiffly.
Finally, Xiaohua couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a giggle.
Her crisp laughter was like a key, instantly breaking the tension in the air.
As her laughter rang out, Hu Zi and Black Hide cracked grins as well. It started as quiet chuckling, but their laughter soon grew louder, echoing through the living room.
Feng Mountain, with a look of resignation, snatched a throw pillow and hurled it at Black Hide, who was laughing the loudest.
THWACK!
He hadn't held back. The force of the blow made Black Hide's head snap back, and he saw stars.
"Brother Shan, speak up. What's the plan? Hitting two birds with one stone... I never knew you had that in you."
Xiaohua curled up cozily on the sofa. The three of them were used to getting lectures from Brother Shan.
