On the day of the final exam, Yu Xiang and Xia Qinglang were assigned to stay after school for classroom cleaning. Yu Xiang noticed Xia Qinglang had seemed distracted all day. Now that they were finally alone, he took the opportunity to ask what was wrong. Xia Qinglang gripped the broom in his hands tightly. He didn’t know how to begin, but the semester was ending, and he would soon be leaving this place to attend his final year of high school in the city. He had fought as hard as he could, but…-

Qiu Xuning didn’t dare look at him. He lowered his gaze, and a single glistening tear slipped down, which he quickly wiped away with his hand. Zhou Mingmei and Qiu Zhaozhao saw Qiu Xuning shrink back in fright, nearly stumbling, and their hearts tightened. They hurriedly stepped in front of him to shield him. Zhou Mingmei snapped at He Zhiyuan, “Get out of here! Don’t hang around in front of Ningning. If he doesn’t get into No. 1 High School, I’ll throw you out to sleep on the streets!…-

Qiu Xuning hesitated after hearing Zhou Mingmei’s words. This wasn’t entirely He Zhiyuan’s fault—“Qiu Xuning” was in the wrong too. He shouldn’t have stolen someone’s watch, and after being caught, not only refused to return it but even cursed at the owner. If it had been him, he would’ve been angry as well. But Qiu Xuning didn’t dare say it aloud. If he did, the fact that He Zhiyuan owned an expensive watch might no longer stay a secret, and when that happened, He Zhiyuan might just…

Qiu Xuning had no idea just how jarring the contrast was between his current state and the way he used to be. That once imperious, arrogant face, when stripped of its dominance and replaced with frailty and timidity, made his whole demeanor feel entirely different. Even the figure he had always ignored before now seemed to draw attention, carrying a faint air of pitiful fragility. He had injured his head, so any odd behavior was to be expected, but He Zhiyuan hadn’t anticipated that he would face him…

He Zhiyuan was now attending the very school Zhou Mingmei had long set her heart on—the county’s No. 1 High School. Among the nearby cities and counties, No. 1 High was quite well-known, though it was a private school with hefty tuition fees. Of course, this money didn’t come from the Qiu family. Instead, the lawyer who handled all the affairs of the He family had arranged for He Zhiyuan to enroll there, and had paid the tuition himself. Otherwise, given the character of the Qiu couple, He Zhiyuan…

He Lian started to suspect there was something wrong with her ears. “You’re going to marry Gu Weiyang??” He Lian’s voice suddenly shot up on the last two words, almost cracking. Su Shijin didn’t say anything. She waited until He Lian finally calmed down after flailing around in frustration, then nodded. “Thinking about it now, marriage really does have a lot of advantages for me.” “Just because you don’t want to be pursued?” He Lian realized her voice had been too loud just…-

When the man with the gold chain walked in, Jin Ge instantly recognized who he was. Then, after hearing what the man said, the smile at the corner of Jin Ge’s mouth couldn’t be hidden even if he tried. Wen Chi felt like he had just been flirted with. The sensation of that gold chain man’s fingers still seemed to linger on his chin, making him uncomfortable. “Xiao Chi, do you know who that guy was just now?” Jin Ge bent down and whispered after they left. Wen Chi dabbed at his chin with a…-

After the family entered the police station and barely had time to say a few words, an officer came forward. Ye Xinian’s adoptive parents had already been taken into separate interrogation rooms. Now it was Ye Xinian’s turn to give his statement. Before going in, Ye Xinian couldn’t help but glance back at the three standing behind him. Tan Yao’s eyes had been fixed on him the whole time. As soon as she noticed his look, she quickly gave him a gentle smile. Chi Ling didn’t speak, only…-

… That brief spell of cool weather seemed like nothing more than a fleeting illusion. By August, the sun blazed so fiercely it set people on edge, the ground scorched hot enough to fry an egg, and even sitting still was enough to work up a sweat. As the hottest days of summer slipped into their final stage, the Bitter Summer crew also wrapped up most of their filming, ushering in the last day of work. Lately, Xu Xishuang had grown increasingly lazy. If he could sit, he wouldn’t stand; if he…

Su Shijin almost thought he had misheard at that moment. But when he saw Gu Weiyang sit down, roll up his sleeve to reveal a solid forearm and rest it on the blood-draw cushion, then turn his head to look at him—with that look in his eyes. Su Shijin then felt that he probably hadn’t misheard after all. After a moment of hesitation, Su Shijin reached out his hand and loosely held it in front of his eyes, without actually touching his skin. “It’s really just the moment before the needle…
