Taking advantage of the fact that Zhou Mingmei and the others hadn’t come back yet, Qiu Xuning decided to cook something for He Zhiyuan. “You can cook?” He Zhiyuan followed him into the kitchen, leaning casually against the doorway, watching Qiu Xuning. “I know a little.” Qiu Xuning fumbled with the gas stove, turned it on, and watched the bluish-green flame flicker as he muttered, “I only know how to make noodles.” Because Mrs. Qiu Yanru was always busy, there was a period when he…-

Qiu Xuning was still a little embarrassed. He sniffled, his voice carrying a faint nasal sound that made him seem even softer. “I wasn’t crying.” His eyes were still red, but the tears had indeed stopped. Not wanting to let He Zhiyuan see him like this, he pretended nothing had happened and got up from the floor. One hand patted his backside, and lowering his head, he noticed the scraps of paper at his feet. Circling around like an ant, he finally found a broom and dustpan and swept the pieces…

He Zhiyuan said, “I thought you were crying.” Qiu Xuning pressed his lips together, his cheeks puffing slightly as he glared at him and said, “Do you just really want to see me make a fool of myself?” Even his glare was soft and weak, carrying no real force. He Zhiyuan let go of Qiu Xuning’s hand and denied it. “No.” Qiu Xuning lowered his head, staring at the tips of his shoes, and muttered, “I wasn’t crying. I’m not that much of a crybaby.” He Zhiyuan looked down at…

After the wedding ceremony wrapped up, the lights came on, dancers took the stage to perform, and waiters began serving the dishes. The bride changed out of her wedding dress into a more practical evening gown, and followed the groom as they went from table to table offering toasts. By the time they reached Su Shijin’s table, the groom had already had quite a bit to drink. However, in high spirits due to the joyful occasion, despite his face being flushed from the alcohol, he remained clear-headed…-

Grandpa Su was already at such an old age, yet he was suddenly force-fed a mouthful of “dog food” by the youngsters. His face turned pale, then flushed, changing colors back and forth, and he couldn’t manage to say a word for quite a while. Gu Weiyang didn’t notice anything odd about Grandpa Su’s expression and was still lost in the sweetness of showing off their love. Admiring the matching outfits he and Dr. Su were wearing, he said cheerfully, “We had these clothes rushed over from a…

Since it was already late and neither Su Shijin nor Gu Weiyang had eaten dinner, they didn’t bother making a fuss and simply found a nearby restaurant to settle their meal. After dinner, the two went home to grab their luggage, then drove to Grandpa Su’s house. By the time they arrived at Grandpa Su’s house, it was already past midnight. Su Shijin had a house key, so after parking the car at the gate, he didn’t wake anyone else and led Gu Weiyang straight to the small courtyard where he…

The next morning, Gu Weiyang left for his morning run half an hour earlier than usual, and came back right around the time Su Shijin would normally be coming downstairs. When Su Shijin came down and saw only one serving of breakfast on the table, his steps faltered. “Mr. Gu, there’s only one breakfast?” “Yeah.” After rinsing the sweat off his arms and splashing his face with water in the downstairs bathroom, Gu Weiyang came out and explained, “I’ll eat oatmeal and bread.” As he…

Gu Weiyang felt he hadn’t really used any strength at all, yet Dr. Su’s skin seemed to bruise easily. Just holding him for that short while had already left a mark on his wrist. Feeling a little guilty, Gu Weiyang quickly shifted his gaze away from the wrist and stood up to put the medical kit back in order. Su Shijin, still thinking about the last piece of cantaloupe he hadn’t finished cutting, got up as Gu Weiyang put the kit away and went into the kitchen to fetch a knife and continue…

When he heard the knock on the door, Ye Xinian paused. He thought it was the assistant from the shoot who had just left, coming back for something. He reached up and rubbed hard at the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened the door. “What is it this ti—” Ye Xinian’s words cut off the moment he met Duan Zhiyan’s concerned gaze. He froze, visibly surprised. “Teacher Duan? What are you doing here?” Duan Zhiyan’s eyes fell on Ye Xinian’s slightly swollen eyes. His…-

Xu Xishuang picked at his food distractedly through the entire meal. Xiao Wang thought he just had no appetite and offered to make him some light late-night snacks when they got back, but Xu Xishuang turned him down. Across the table, both Yan Yushan and Chi Siyuan noticed something was off. Chi Siyuan brought his glass over and clinked it against Xu Xishuang’s, using the gesture as an excuse to lean in and quietly ask what was wrong. Xu Xishuang looked at Chi Siyuan’s innocent face: … How…-
