CHAPTERS
The call came in at a little past three in the morning. The vibration startled Ying Ming so badly he sat up in a daze, fumbling for his phone. He saw that the caller ID showed Kou Jing’s name. “Kouzi?” His voice was hoarse from sleep. He cleared his throat and tried to focus. “What’s going on?” He hadn’t really rested at all in recent days. While working, he could still push through. But the moment he stepped away from the set, the exhaustion hit him twice as hard. “Ying…- 283.2 K • Completed
- Ying Ming returned from home mainly because the film was officially about to start shooting, and he needed to join the crew. Being back on set felt a little unfamiliar at first, but what caught him off guard more was how surprised everyone else seemed to be. “Holy shit, you…” Wang Yiqi stared in shock at the sight of Ying Ming walking into the conference room in a black trench coat with a cigarette between his teeth. His finger trembled dramatically for a long moment, but the rest of his…

- Although Ying Ming had mentioned to Shi Yi that he would be going home, he never said exactly when. If Kou Jing hadn’t needed something and been unable to reach Ying Ming and eventually call Shi Yi instead, he might never have known at all. After five or six missed calls went unanswered, he finally remembered that Ying Ming had mentioned something about returning home. The realization hit him all at once, leaving his mind blank. For the first two days after Ying Ming left, Shi Yi managed to keep…

- It had been a while since Ying Ming last saw Wang Yiqi. To be precise, they had not been in contact since the night they parted ways at his place. Ying Ming knew Wang Yiqi was probably worried that the issues with Shi Yi’s family had left some unspoken tension between them. Technically, it had nothing to do with Wang Yiqi directly, but that was how these things worked. Even if everyone understood that the blame did not lie with you, it still became difficult to shake off, and the weight of it lingered…

- Shi Yi had always felt that the word love was not something a man could say easily. Especially when the person in front of you was another man. He and Ying Ming had always deliberately avoided that word when it mattered, choosing other ways to express it instead. Even in moments like yesterday, neither of them ever said it aloud. There had been times when he had felt an overwhelming urge to say it, but the moment he saw Ying Ming’s face, the words would get stuck in his throat. He used to think…

- After finishing his movie, Ying Ming grabbed his backpack and left the city. He didn’t stay even a single extra day. He had cleared over a month from his work schedule, switched his SIM card, and cut off all contact except for a few numbers, just his family and a couple of people who might need to urgently reach him. This was one of his work habits. He never explained where he was going, nor did he plan how far he would travel. He simply picked a destination and wandered, sightseeing along…

- Shi Yi’s appearance had caused a stir, just as expected. Before the lights came back on, both of them had already returned to the banquet hall. Ying Ming was seated at the guest table reserved for the main creative team, while Shi Yi stood farther away, chatting casually with a few acquaintances he had dealt with in the past. His demeanor was relaxed and composed. Reporters nearby wanted to approach him but did not dare, so they could only keep snapping photos nonstop. The camera flashes lit up the…

- Ying Ming had really drunk too much that night. Even after the banquet ended and Shi Yi took him home, he never fully regained his senses. He had no memory of how they left the hotel, what Shi Yi said to him, or what he said to Shi Yi. All he remembered was that once they got home, they had another fight. He couldn’t piece together the details, but it was likely just another emotional outburst. He knew exactly how much anger had been bottled up inside him lately, and now that he had a chance to let it…

- Ying Ming was still able to stay upright after the first glass. But when the next one spun toward him and he lifted it again, just one sip was enough to make him nearly vomit on the spot. His stomach churned like a storm-tossed sea, and he could feel the alcohol rising to the back of his throat. Instinctively, he braced himself against the table, breathing deeply for a while before lifting the glass again. Dong Xiao’s expression shifted drastically as he reached out to stop him, but he was a second…

- Kou Jing, speaking half as a media professional, once summed up the nature of media. Public opinion could crown a god overnight, or cast someone into hell just as fast. No matter how strong one’s mind might be, it was impossible to completely ignore the whispers and rumors around them, especially when those things started to affect their actual life. It was even harder to stay calm. The public exposure of Shi Yi and Ying Ming’s relationship had dealt the Shi family a blow from which they would…
