CHAPTERS
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…- 283.2 K • Completed
- 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…

- 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…

- 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…
