Chi Yunxing and Duan Zhiyan arrived at just the right moment. The police had already entered the Xia family’s villa. Several squad cars were parked nearby, and a perimeter had been cordoned off with yellow tape. A few officers were leading police dogs across the lawn, searching for something. Near their car, a small group of residents had gathered, watching the commotion with curiosity. They were chatting animatedly about something shocking enough to shake the entire neighborhood chat group. They…-

Chi Yunxing thought he’d misheard and repeated in disbelief, “A live arrest?” Duan Zhiyan: “Mm. Want to come?” After confirming he hadn’t misheard, Chi Yunxing quickly reasoned it out in his head. Duan Zhiyan wouldn’t bring him to see some random stranger being arrested so whoever it was must be related to him. In other words, someone he knew. He immediately thought of Xia Huaiming. The other end of the call was quiet, save for the faint sound of breathing. Duan Zhiyan…

Just as the Chi family was getting ready to leave, Officer Wang hurried over. “Mr. Chi, wait a moment!” The whole family stopped. Chi Ling asked, “Is there something else, Officer Wang?” Officer Wang lifted the form in his hand and smiled. “Didn’t Yunxing say he wanted to change his name? He can now change it.” Chi Yunxing’s eyes lit up. “Really?” Officer Wang nodded. “The policy’s changed. You don’t need to go back to transfer your household registration anymore. We…

After making arrangements with the caretaker, Chi Yunxing got into the car headed to the police station. When he arrived, Tan Yao was the first to come out. Chi Yunxing immediately noticed her reddened eyes. He hurried over, and before he could ask what was wrong, Tan Yao pulled him into a tight hug. Chi Yunxing stiffened for a moment but quickly relaxed and gently patted her back. In a soft voice, he asked, “What’s wrong, Mom?” Tan Yao hadn’t meant to cry again, but the moment she heard…

After more than half a month of stalemate, Grandma Chi finally agreed to undergo surgery, and the entire family was overjoyed. Once the initial excitement settled down, Chi Ling immediately went to consult with the attending physician to discuss the details of the surgery. Upon hearing that Grandma Chi had agreed, the doctor was visibly relieved. The surgical plan had been finalized long ago, and a suitable bone marrow donor had already been found. What Grandma Chi needed to do now was to rest…

Chi Yunxing froze for a second. He knew Duan Zhiyan had grown up with Chi Xiwen and had known him since infancy so calling him “Ge” wasn’t unreasonable. Still… Chi Yunxing pressed his lips together and stared at Duan Zhiyan, who was smiling at him. The request had come too suddenly. He wasn’t prepared for it at all, and for a moment, he truly couldn’t get the words out. Just as he was hesitating, unsure whether to deflect, Chi Xiwen’s displeased voice rang out beside him.…

When Tan Yao and Chi Xiwen followed Chi Ling into the hospital room, they were immediately greeted by Grandma Chi’s annoyed complaints. “I’m sick of seeing you all!” “Who would want to visit me? What’s there to see about this old woman? Instead of working, all of you come crowding in here for what?” “And when can I be discharged? I’ve told you I don’t want to stay here anymore! Are you trying to make me die of anger?” Chi Ling had barely said one sentence before Grandma Chi…

The hand resting on his head was broad and warm, and the affectionate gesture made the tips of Chi Yunxing’s ears, hidden beneath his hair, turn even redder He looked up, a little flustered, intending to get Chi Xiwen to let go, but was caught off guard when he met his brother’s reddened eyes. Chi Yunxing froze for a second, then turned his gaze toward Chi Ling and Tan Yao nearby. Tan Yao had one hand over her mouth, her teary eyes still glowing with a smile. Chi Ling’s eyes were also…

Chi Yunxing had always thought his childhood bedroom was already quite spacious, but now, looking at the room in front of him, he realized it was even bigger. It was almost three times the size of the one next door. At that moment, Chi Yunxing began to suspect that the room before him might not be a guest room after all, but he didn’t think too much of it. It was already late, so Tan Yao simply gave him a brief overview of the house layout and prepared to leave. She said, “It’s late,…

Chi Yunxing stood there, visibly flustered while casting a helpless look toward Tan Yao. Tan Yao only smiled and said, “What a pity. If I were still strong enough to carry you, I would’ve wanted to carry you home too.” If you listened closely, you could hear a trace of regret in her voice. Chi Xiwen unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, laughing. “Actually, I could carry Yunxing home too.” Chi Ling glared at him. “What are you getting involved for?” Then he turned back…
