EIP 64
by Slashh-XO — Mu Liqing’s expression had been something to behold. As Zhou Jun walked out of the Pear Garden, he couldn’t help but chuckle at the memory of it. He pulled his coat tighter and put on his hat. During the meeting, Xiao Fu had been kept waiting outside. For some reason, Mu Liqing hadn’t let him in, which left him visibly uneasy. His brows were furrowed, lips pressed into a thin line, as if he wanted to ask something but didn’t dare. Once Xiao Fu started the car, Zhou Jun settled into the back…

EIP 65
by Slashh-XO — Yong Jin’s breath carried the sharp, bitter scent of a high-proof alcohol. Zhou Jun wondered what might have happened to make him drink something so strong. This time, his kiss wasn’t aggressive. Instead, it rested gently on Zhou Jun’s lips, like a careful brush against a fragile dream, tender as though he feared it might shatter. Zhou Jun helped Yong Jin into the car, unsure where to take him. Returning to the Yong residence would alert the Governor. Taking him to his apartment wasn’t ideal…

EIP 66
by Slashh-XO — Yong Jin’s head was snapped to the side by the blow, blood soaking the pristine white collar of his shirt. Zhou Jun finally registered the pain, perhaps because the glass shard in his hand had embedded itself fully into his flesh. The sharp sting seemed to spread straight to his heart, leaving him dizzy. He gasped for air and clutched his injured hand tightly. He wanted to scream at Yong Jin to get out. His heart slammed against his ribs, each beat sharp with pain. Zhou Jun sank onto the bed, his…

EIP 67
by Slashh-XO — In the end, they didn’t say a word to each other. Only after the sound of fireworks faded did Yong Jin’s hoarse voice whisper a quiet goodbye before hanging up. Zhou Jun sat there, not bothering to put down the receiver, listening to the steady buzz of the busy tone. Outside the hall, laughter and the sound of children's footsteps echoed. A child ran over, took Zhou Jun’s hand, and led him outside. That year would likely stay with him forever. The bright tail of the fireworks disappeared into the…

by Slashh-XO — Zhou Jun mumbled, almost to himself, “War has broken out?” The clerk, hands tucked into his sleeves, saw Zhou Jun's shocked expression and nodded. “Yeah, it's all over the news. My brother-in-law is an important figure in the military. Orders from above have been coming down these past few days. Take a look around the streets, they’re full of soldiers.” Before he could finish, Zhou Jun quickly turned and ran out of the pharmacy, so fast that he tripped over the pharmacy's threshold. The…

EIP 60
by Slashh-XO — Deputy Chen waited for the young major general to finish his work and handed him a few telegrams. After taking care of the piled-up tasks, the evening had already fallen. Deputy Chen glanced at the time and quietly asked whether the general needed a car to head home. The office lights cast shadows on Yong Jin’s brows, the hollow under his eyes faintly visible, not just due to the lighting, but also because he hadn’t been sleeping well for some time. Yong Jin looked exhausted. He rubbed his nose and…

by Slashh-XO — This winter felt unusually long, with endless snowfalls. Even though there were only a few days left before the New Year, the whole city seemed caught in a subtle tension. Whether in newspapers, on the radio, among the high-ranking officials or the common people, everyone knew that war was approaching. Thankfully, it had not reached their side yet, only drawing closer. No one knew when the sound of gunfire might finally arrive. Most people hoped the war would end elsewhere, sparing their city. But such…

by Slashh-XO — Mr. Chen, eager to enjoy himself with Zhou Jun, was certain the Second Young Master would not turn him down. Refusing, after all, might come across as disrespectful. But to his surprise, Zhou Jun did not take the bait. He kept his eyes on the girl’s retreating figure, then quietly settled onto the other side of the louhan bed. Reaching into his collar, he pulled out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose. With half his face hidden, his light-colored eyes revealed only helplessness as he said,…

by Slashh-XO — Zhou Jun walked out of the police station, feeling lost and helpless. His sister-in-law had gone to the doctor while picking up medicine earlier. To their surprise, the doctor detected a pregnancy. His sister-in-law and older brother had been married for several years but had never had children. Now, a new life was on the way, but it came at a terrible time. His sister-in-law didn’t want him to tell his older brother. If she couldn’t get through this, the news would make things even harder for…

by Slashh-XO — Rong Lan Zhi’s tears flowed freely as she clung tightly to her husband’s sleeve, silently shaking her head in refusal. Zhou Jun couldn’t bear the sight any longer. Rising from his seat, he walked to the backyard, seeking solace in a cigarette. The Zhou household felt emptier than ever. Though it was broad daylight, the silence weighed heavily, oppressive as death. Every now and then, the chirp of a bird broke through the stillness, offering a rare and fleeting comfort. Zhou Jun's boots sank…
