Drowning was agony. Du Zihua’s frantic thrashing made that clear enough. In the darkness, no one could see exactly how the two were grappling in the water, but the splashing gradually weakened, and the screams for help that had pierced the night fell silent. Just as Kou Jing, sick with worry, was about to wade in, Shi Yi finally dragged Du Zihua back onto the shore. Both of them were deathly pale, their bodies chilled to the bone after struggling for so long in that freezing water. Kou Jing took…- 283.2 K • Completed
- When Shi Yi’s mother woke up and saw the porridge at her bedside, she paused in surprise. It took a moment for her to realize Shi Yi had made it. At first she was a little startled, then slowly picked it up and tasted a spoonful. Though it had long gone cold, the chill that had been clinging to her heart seemed to ease just a little. As she stepped out of the bedroom, she heard Shi Yi on the phone downstairs in the living room. “Mm, I understand.” His voice was deliberately low, probably afraid…

- Ying Ming stayed outside the door until nightfall. It was only after the sky had turned completely dark that he finally unlocked it and stepped back inside. Shi Yi was sitting on the sofa, smoking. When he heard the door open, he turned and glanced over. Their eyes met, both catching sight of each other’s wrecked appearance. For a moment, neither of them knew whether to laugh bitterly or simply feel ashamed. Ying Ming reeked of smoke. He walked over and sat down in the far corner of the couch.…

- It felt like someone had punched Ying Ming square in the head. His whole scalp buzzed from the impact. From the moment Shi Yi walked through the door, Ying Ming had known, deep down, what he was going to say. He had pretended not to see it, dragged things out as long as he could. But in the end, Shi Yi said it anyway. He kept his eyes closed for a long time. Once he managed to collect himself, it felt like a fire had ignited in his chest and suddenly surged through his entire body. He was so…

- For more than a week straight, there had been no contact whatsoever between Shi Yi and Ying Ming. At some point, Shi Yi’s phone was shut off completely. Ying Ming couldn’t get through. Just as his patience was about to snap, Ou Yang unexpectedly showed up, clearly at the end of his rope. “Where the hell is Shi Yi? Tell him to get his ass out here!” Ying Ming hadn’t slept all night. Early in the morning, the sound of someone pounding on his door startled him awake. When he opened it, Ou Yang…

- By the time Ying Ming got home, Kou Jing and Wang Yiqi were already waiting at the door. It was unclear how long they had been there, but as soon as he opened the car door, they rushed over. Seeing the state he was in, both of them froze. “What the fuck?” The injuries weren’t life-threatening, but the pain hadn’t faded yet. Just driving himself home had taken everything out of him. As soon as he stepped inside, he collapsed on the couch and couldn’t move. Kou Jing asked where the first-aid…

- In Shi Yi’s impression, Ying Ming was someone who, most of the time, didn’t seem to care much. Although the two of them couldn’t be considered particularly close, whenever they interacted, if it came to a point where one of them had to give way, it was usually Ying Ming who stepped back. He seemed like the type who would argue and get serious, but in reality, he viewed things more lightly than most people. He could be wild when having fun, but he was often the one who stayed clear-headed in…

- At 3 a.m., even in B City, famously known as a sleepless metropolis, the streets were nearly deserted. Only the neon lights were on, making the long autumn streets look a little bright. From a distance, came the deafening roar of engines, loud enough to disturb the entire city, speeding closer at a heart-stopping pace before vanishing just as swiftly. By the time the noise faded, all that was left were two faint red dots disappearing into the distance. And before ten minutes had passed, the…

9. So-Called Heartbreak The owner of Drunken Immortal Shade had died. Bai Yuanxiu hadn’t meant to get involved. After all, this area was riddled with factions and tangled allegiances. As the Demonic Secr protector posing as a righteous man, it was a minefield—no matter who he sided with, he’d be in trouble. He had just turned to leave when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Qing standing under the eaves not far away, waving him over. It was a fabric shop. Only when Bai Yuanxiu…- 80.2 K • Completed
- 8. Falling Out Only then did Bai Yuanxiu remember—when the two of them had fought earlier, they had practically turned the house upside down. It went without saying that the jujubes, covered only by a thin cloth, must have been scattered everywhere. For some reason, an image flashed through Bai Yuanxiu’s mind: Xiao Qing crouched in the wreckage, picking up the scattered dates one by one. Suddenly, his chest tightened as if stuffed with cotton soaked in ice water. He wanted to say, Don’t…
