“Dennis Kahler.” Vittorio whispered Dennis’s name quietly. He wasn’t calling out to him. He was merely mumbling it inside his maw, as if chewing and swallowing Dennis’s name. Dennis, now completely off the bed, avoided Vittorio’s gaze. To mistake Eric for Vittorio… Eric, who was now deceased by Dennis’s hand, and Vittorio were different even in silhouette. It was hard to believe that a body as monstrously built as that could perform ballet. He was closer to a well-trained man of the…- 102.4 K • Completed
Yan Mu looked at Jiang Zhihuo in silence. His voice was deep and low. Outside the window, hazy moonlight drifted into his eyes. "I want you to feel a little happier," Yan Mu said slowly, "but I don't know how." "So that's why you bit yourself?" Jiang Zhihuo pinched the indentation on his knuckle again. "It's just a habit when I'm thinking," Yan Mu said. "Then what did you come up with?" Jiang Zhihuo asked. Yan Mu shook his head and, with a backward motion, hooked Jiang Zhihuo's…- 369.8 K • Completed
- Not long after Jiang Zhihuo said this, that very evening, the Yun Xiaoxu scandal suddenly took a turn. After more than a day of silence, the company finally released a clarification statement, saying Yun Xiaoxu had never committed theft. They also sent a lawyer's letter to a marketing account that had named him directly and spread false claims just to chase clout. After that, they reposted a video. The couple in the video looked close to retirement. Their hair at the temples was lightly graying,…

- Yun Xiaoxu rushed out of the practice room, not even having time to wipe his face, a thin sheen of sweat clinging to his forehead. His agent was waiting outside. During the show's recording period, contestants are generally not allowed to meet their agents in person unless there is a special situation. The moment he saw Yun Xiaoxu, the agent shoved his phone in front of him and demanded sharply, "What's going on?" "Huh?" Yun Xiaoxu had no idea what had happened. He had been called out in such a…

Darkness, coldness, and emptiness. This was an unfinished basement. The floors and walls were merely coated with cement, supported by square pillars beneath a gray-black ceiling. A single small light bulb dangled from above. There were no windows in the walls, and the bulb was the only source of light—yet at this moment, the light was off, leaving the surroundings as silent as death. Creak— Without warning, the basement door was pushed open. Light from outside instantly flooded in through the…- 141.2 K • Completed
- August 19, 2035, cloudy. I seem to have inadvertently stumbled across the company's secret. August 20, 2035, cloudy. I shouldn't get involved—it's dangerous. I'm about to marry her soon. I've even picked out our marital home. 76323, our fated, ideal home, is still waiting for us. I shouldn't get involved. August 21, 2035, cloudy. I dug up that set of The Complete Works of Jin Yong the old man gave me when I was a kid. Still love that line the most: A true hero is one who…

- February 13, 2035, Sunny. Planning something big tomorrow, so I'll rest early today. February 14, 2035, Sunny. She said yes. This feels unreal! Am I really going to have a wife?! Damn, I haven't even told Mom yet. I was so excited, my head was spinning, and I completely forgot to inform her. But she's just so wonderful—if I didn't act fast, some other guy might've snatched her up. No matter. Marriage is about my lifelong happiness, and as long as I'm happy, Mom…

- June 24, 2034, Rain. Only by entering the Senior Division can one truly access the core program of Blizzard. I only knew about Anchor Points before, but it turns out that the real key element in dangerous moments is the Safety Gate. My Safety Gate code... I'll set a numeric code only she and I know. July 21, 2034, Sunny. Nothing special. The only thing worth being happy about is that today, in the middle of the meeting, President Xu received a call from some kind of sanatorium and…

- May 20, 2033, Sunny (a poorly drawn heart is sketched here). The Lovers' Monument truly lives up to its reputation! She looks so beautiful holding the roses. From now on, I can only be the pampered husband hidden away in a golden house—what a sweet dilemma. July 10, 2033, Light Rain. My application to join the Senior Division has been approved, a process that took four months from start to finish. But I'm not happy with the outcome. Because she was so disappointed. She…

- March 7, 2032, Cloudy. Today, I met a very important person. My father. Counting the years, it's been fifteen since we last saw each other. When I was young and ignorant, I thought he never paid attention to my life. After leaving with my mother, I actually held some resentment toward him in my heart. But now that I'm working myself, I can finally understand him. I noticed his hair had turned much whiter, and his face had gained more wrinkles. He looked different from the tall,…
