CHAPTERS
Before going to Ying Ming’s house, Shi Yi went out of his way to get a haircut. It did not actually change much, but when Ying Ming drove over to pick him up, the difference in attitude was obvious. Ying Ming could not hold back a laugh. “Seriously? Even if you clean yourself up, if they’re going to hit you, they’ll still hit you. My parents don’t care about appearances.” Shi Yi had only shrugged. “It’s a strategic decision.” He had debated whether to dress sharp or look…- 283.2 K • Completed
- When Shi Yi woke up again, the room was full of people. Chen Cheng, his mother, his aunt, and even Kou Jing were all there, occupying every visible space in the room. The atmosphere was so awkward and suffocating that pretending to be asleep was no longer an option. He sat up slightly. “Mom, how are you doing now?” He had originally planned to be discharged today, assuming the doctor confirmed he was fine. He hadn’t expected his mother and Chen Cheng to come all the way here. Although Shi…

- When Shi Yi woke up, the first thing he felt was the warmth of someone else's body against his. Then came a ticklish sensation on his face. He frowned and opened his eyes to see Ying Ming’s short hair. For a moment, he stared in a daze. The scent of the man in his arms was so familiar that he could confirm who it was immediately, yet the long time since they had last been this close made it hard for his mind to catch up. He shifted slightly, wanting to get a better look at the other’s face. But a…

- After receiving the satellite phone, Ying Ming was able to contact Shi Yi more frequently. He updated him regularly on the search and rescue progress and weather conditions. On the twenty-seventh hour after the incident, the rescue team finally located the two stranded buses. Taking a calculated risk, a helicopter dropped off emergency supplies and food. Once the location was confirmed beyond doubt, the rescue team continued their efforts through heavy rain. Everyone at the site was overwhelmed with…

- Shi Yi’s appearance caught Ying Ming’s parents off guard. He stood at the door, supported on either side by Kou Jing and Haozi, but his expression was calm. “Uncle, Auntie, Ying Ming has already arrived at the disaster site. My uncle has been in touch with him. I came to let you know, so you wouldn’t worry. The communication over there isn’t stable, so he can’t call often, but the embassy has already made contact with him. I’ll confirm the rest of the details as soon as I can. I’ll be…

- 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…

- 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…
