After returning from Australia, the atmosphere between Chu Yin and Wei Lai became somewhat strange. Wei Lai still lived at Chu Yin's place. He would prepare breakfast for Chu Yin in the morning, then take Orunju out for a walk while buying groceries. He'd come back at noon to cook, chatting about this and that with Chu Yin over meals. After washing the dishes, he'd go out to play mahjong. Dinner was usually handled by Chu Yin himself because Wei Lai always came home so late that Chu Yin would already…- 133.2 K • Completed
- Wei Lai said, "Go say hello. It'd be awkward to cancel last minute. Offer her some tea and grab some snacks for Wei Gui. I know you're not good at small talk, so just sit nearby. Yan Xueni talks a lot, so just give a few 'mhms' and don't look impatient." "Yan Xueni won't stay long with the kid. Once the tea is almost done, stand up like you're going to refill her cup—she'll take the hint and leave on her own." Chu Yin listened carefully, fascinated by this human interaction strategy, and nodded…

- Yan Xueni said that because Wei Gui had failed his exams, his father's blood pressure spiked every time he laid eyes on him. At his age, he really couldn't handle the stress anymore.

The searing pain of flames scorching his skin still haunted his mind. The agony of being burned alive was something he never wanted to experience again. It was terrifying—the despair of death was something he could never get used to, no matter how many times he encountered it. His vision was filled with pure white. Only then did…- 141.2 K • Completed
- The Haidilao delivery guy had the most surreal order of his career—never before had he seen anyone eating hotpot in a love hotel! Like secret agents making a rendezvous, the delivery guy and Chu Yin, who was wearing sunglasses and a mask, completed the handoff with furtive glances. Inside the room was a wooden round table with a leather handcuff dangling from one corner. The delivery guy's ears turned red as he lowered his eyes, spread a plastic sheet over the table, set up the induction…

- August 19, 2035, cloudy. I seem to have inadvertently stumbled across the company's secret. August 20, 2035, cloudy. I shouldn't get involved—it's dangerous. I'm about to marry her soon. I've even picked out our marital home. 76323, our fated, ideal home, is still waiting for us. I shouldn't get involved. August 21, 2035, cloudy.

“Don't mention it, really, don't mention it.” The young man in the hoodie waved his hands dismissively, his gaze landing on Dou Hua’s light blue uniform. “You guys are police, right?” Dou Hua nodded, the bloodshot streaks in his eyes from his recent panic yet to fade. His voice still carried a heavy, tearful tremor. “Thank you so much.
