On a weekend night full of customers, things didn’t feel so hard to bear because Chu Baiyan was there. Even with someone helping him, Yan Anqing didn’t just sit back. When customers asked professional questions, he still answered. But for any question outside that, his gaze would move toward Chu Baiyan. Every time that happened, Chu Baiyan felt like a satellite receiver. He could always sense the signal for help coming from Yan Anqing. He would see that small pointed chin turn his way, and that…- 98.2 K • Completed
- Chu Baiyan smiled a little and didn’t reply. He picked up the strawberry cup on the table and went to the break room to get some water. He knew his coworker was just greeting him and didn’t expect an actual answer. This kind of work wasn’t like an office job where you had to clock in. As long as it didn’t interfere with show prep, the supervisor wouldn’t say anything. Coming early just meant spending more time in the break room scrolling through his phone and chatting with others. Before,…

- The windows in the room were all open, and the cool air from the recently turned-off air conditioner still lingered. The mung bean soup was just the right temperature to drink, so he must have washed the beans before bed and set the rice cooker timer to make it overnight. Chu Baiyan took a sip. The texture was grainy and a little sweet. He stirred the porcelain spoon in his hand. It matched the bowl, obviously made by Yan Anqing himself. His own bowl was “Everything Persimmon,” while the one across…

- The first show of the day began, and as always, Chu Baiyan put on his light blue fishtail and dove into the water, sinking slowly toward the depths. He used the strength of his waist and abdomen to move the tail and glided through the colorful fish. Since it wasn’t a holiday, there weren’t many people watching the first show, and the aquarium didn’t arrange a scripted performance. The “mermaids” were allowed to improvise. When he was close to the coral at the bottom, Chu Baiyan turned over…

Although the Yuan family’s residence in the capital had long been unoccupied, it still occupied a prime stretch of land without the slightest hint of modesty. The grounds remained largely deserted, with only a few servants left behind to handle daily sweeping and upkeep. If the master was expected to return to the capital, a message would be sent ahead from Jingzhou to alert them to prepare. As such, the servants were usually quite lax in their duties. One gatekeeper was practically half-deaf, and…- 36.3 K • Ongoing
- The man’s voice was not loud, but it silenced the rowdy cell like a flock of crows struck dumb. Ling Xun turned toward the sound and, peering through the wall of thick-necked, broad-shouldered bodies, located the one who had spoken, a figure seated with a certain towering presence. He sat at the very back of the cell on a threadbare cotton quilt. Next to him stood a chipped, paint-worn square stool. Together, they carved out a space that, even in this filthy cage, resembled something close to an…

- “Well damn, here I was thinking some hero had been dragged in, but turns out it’s just some cocksucking pretty boy!” Scarface finally shouted, late to catch on. The cell erupted with howls of laughter. “Cocksucking? He’s a eunuch’s plaything. Where’s the cock to suck? If you ask me, he’s probably the one doing the sticking.” “You lot really don’t know anything,” someone sneered. “If he were the one on top, why would he sneak around behind the old eunuch’s back to chase…

- Ling Xun drifted in and out of sleep until just before dawn, when he was suddenly dragged to his feet. He assumed it was those ball-less bastards preparing to torture him again, so he let himself go limp like a dead pig, not budging an inch. If he was going to be tormented anyway, he might as well squeeze in a bit more sleep beforehand. But even with all his sharp instincts, he hadn’t anticipated this twist. Old Thief Qin, as usual, was not playing by the rules. Instead of ordering any further…

- A dust-covered convoy entered through the North Gate of Jincheng and made its way straight to Jinxiu Pavilion. As soon as Yue Qing stepped down from the carriage, his robe sleeves swept out like a giant broom clearing fallen leaves, and he glided indoors without so much as touching the ground. “Manager Yue! Manager Yue!” Fang Ke called out several times behind him but failed to stop him. In a panic, he tapped the ground lightly with his feet and launched into a graceful arc through the air,…

- Even a formation master has to eat, sleep, and relieve himself. The senior official knew this brat he had just captured was not someone easy to handle. He did not dare let his guard down and kept him suppressed with formation pressure at all times. He even tied him up tightly with rope, terrified he might try something sneaky again. Though Ling Xun couldn’t speak, he could still sob. He shed tears along the way with a mournful expression, as if he had just lost his father, and it made the official…
