by Slashh-XO — The man paused for a moment, then said, "I'm not Zhou Yang." Shen Mo blinked and looked at him carefully. "If you're not Zhou Yang, then who are you?" As he spoke, he pulled the man into the room. The place hadn't been cleaned in days. It was filthy and messy everywhere. Shen Mo rushed about, trying to tidy up, and finally cleared a small space where someone could sit. "You said you'd only be gone for a few days. Why did it take you so long to come back?" But where had he gone? How long had it…

by Slashh-XO — "Back to your room?" "Yes." "Let’s have dinner together tonight." Ji Mingxuan said it as a statement, the same tone he always used. Whether they were pretending to be lovers or had broken up, it was always up to him to decide. But this time, Shen Mo didn’t follow his lead. "I’m going to paint tonight in my room. You know how it is. When inspiration hits, the worst thing is being interrupted." Ji Mingxuan nodded in understanding. "Then tomorrow." Shen Mo replied, "Alright, let’s talk…

by Slashh-XO — Ji Mingxuan pinched his cheek and said, "Use Chinese." The boy blinked, looking a little wronged, but still stammered, "D-Dad." Shen Mo felt as if he had been slapped in the face. Half his cheek went numb, and he realized just how ridiculous his little hopes had been. How could he have forgotten? Ji Mingxuan was never short of company. At that moment, a well-dressed middle-aged woman came hurrying over. She looked like a nanny. Ji Mingxuan made a gesture for her to step back, then picked the boy…

by Slashh-XO — Shen Mo stared at him, stunned, unable to find his voice. All around them, the noise of the crowd filled the air, the familiar chaos of a foreign land. A few blonde-haired, blue-eyed children were chasing each other nearby. One of them, being pursued, shrieked and ran straight in Shen Mo’s direction. Shen Mo, caught off guard, didn’t think to dodge and was hit. What followed felt like a chain-reaction accident. Shen Mo stumbled back several steps and knocked over a sun umbrella behind him. At the…

by Slashh-XO — Shen Mo spent the New Year quietly. He gave Yang Yue time off and stayed home, cooking a few dishes for himself and opening a bottle of red wine. But eating alone made even the most exquisite food taste bland. In the end, it felt no different from his usual takeout, just the same quiet, lonely flavor. Before midnight, he went to bed, wrapped himself tightly in a thick quilt, and fell into a deep sleep to the sound of fireworks outside. Once the New Year passed, the beginning of spring followed. Shen…

by Slashh-XO — Yang Yue wasn’t so easy to fool. Just as she was about to press him further, a car horn honked outside. “Oh, that’s my boyfriend picking me up. I’m off now. Bye-bye, boss.” The moment her boyfriend arrived, Yang Yue waved goodbye, left the so-called old man Shen Mo behind, grabbed her purse, and dashed out the door. Shen Mo watched her leave, then turned around and ordered takeout. His cooking skills weren’t bad, but now that he lived alone, he couldn’t be bothered to put in the…

by Slashh-XO — His fingers throbbed with a sharp, piercing pain. Shen Mo couldn’t endure it. The pain dragged him out of unconsciousness. He opened his eyes in a daze and was greeted by a world of stark whiteness. White walls, white sheets, white bandages. He stared blankly for a while before realizing he was in a hospital. The memories from before he lost consciousness came rushing back, and his body instinctively curled into itself. He had been kidnapped on his way home. The abandoned warehouse had reeked of…

by Slashh-XO — Jinxiu Villa… Shen Mo had heard it mentioned a few times before. The first time was from Zhao Yi, who had mistaken him for someone living in Jinxiu Villa. The second was from Old Wang, the driver, who once said that Ji Mingxuan had drunkenly insisted on going to Jinxiu Villa. It wasn’t hard to guess. That house must have been where Ji Mingxuan kept his lover hidden away. So how had it ended up under his name? Could it be that Ji Mingxuan, for the sake of convenience, had bought the whole…

by Slashh-XO — Half a month later, Shen Mo met with Ji Mingxuan’s lawyer. Back at the hospital, when Ji Mingxuan said those words to him, Shen Mo had already expected this day would come. Whether what Ji Mingxuan said was true or not, the fact that he said it meant there was no going forward for the two of them. What Shen Mo hadn’t expected was that Ji Mingxuan wouldn’t even handle the breakup in person. He simply sent his lawyer to talk to him. Should he say Ji Mingxuan was too rational, or just too…

by Slashh-XO — Shen Mo had vaguely guessed something before, but hearing Ji Mingxuan say it out loud made him understand why Ji spoiled Ji An'an so much. He had lost his mother at a young age, and his only sister had always been frail and sickly. Naturally, all his tenderness was poured into her. Shen Mo wasn’t good at comforting others, so after thinking for a bit, he said, “Medical science is so advanced now. Heart disease isn’t impossible to treat.” “Yes. An’an had surgery when she was very young,…
