Chapter 25: Daddy Doesn't Like My Eyes "Little rabbit, where are you?" I pretended to wander around the room. Aunt Chun, who was in charge of taking care of Zong Yinzhuo, stood by a cabinet in the corner and kept winking at me. I put my index finger to my lips to signal her to be quiet, and then stood in front of the cabinet. This was a side cabinet about half the height of a person. I tapped the top of the cabinet back and forth with my fingertips, trying to create a tense and exciting…- 246.6 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 26: Birds Should Be Free The walls were covered with fancy fabric wallpaper, and there was a thick carpet with intricate patterns underfoot. A huge brass chandelier hung from the towering ceiling, and the four-poster bed was full of soft, fluffy pillows without any sharp edges. This was a very "aristocratic" bedroom, dark, luxurious, and lifeless. ...Oh no, it's now "dim, gorgeous, and with a touch of life". The bouquet I brought was carefully arranged in a vase and placed by the…

- Chapter 27: May All Our Wishes Come True I was sure I'd buried that bird, and the drawer had been cleaned spotless. So where did these feathers in the cabinet come from? Did he pick them up on the balcony? The thought of this possibility made me chuckle. How come I never noticed his collecting habit before? From the age of ten to nineteen, I accompanied Zong Yanlei throughout his adolescence. Many of his special memories were partly due to my involvement. Therefore, once I applied Aunt Chun's…

- Chapter 28: That Was Satisfying The soft snow beneath my feet was up to my ankles, and the biting wind, carrying ice and snow, stung my face. The trees, the ground, the distant mountains, everywhere I looked was a monotonous white. The reflected ultraviolet radiation was astonishing; if I hadn't been wearing snow goggles, my only normal eye would probably have been blinded in no time. Xuanpu Station had designed an all-white ice and snow track to match the winter atmosphere. Compared to the…

- Chapter 35: Moral Awakening Due to the difficult transportation and numerous risks along the way in the early years, spices were once as precious as gold and were regarded as a symbol of wealth and status by the nobles of Penglai. They even felt that it was undignified and impolite to have a natural body odor. In the past, when I was delivering letters to the princess, I would often have to attend banquets and spend ten minutes in the fragrant crowd. It made me feel like my very bones and flesh were…

- Chapter 22: You Shouldn't Have Been So Soft-Hearted That kidnapping left an indelible mark on my life, yet in retrospect, it was only a fleeting moment. "It's all your fault..." Zong Yanlei's bite wasn't strong, and since it was through my clothes, I shouldn't have felt any pain. But perhaps it was my body's memory being activated or some lingering effect from the injury I sustained during the opening match, just pressing on the bite mark caused a slight warmth and pain. "Yes, it's all my…

- Chapter 23: Change of Plans? The scene spiraled into chaos when they realized a shooting had occurred. Hotel security personnel and bodyguards from the team rushed over upon hearing the commotion and quickly surrounded us. "What are you doing here?" Zong Yanlei glared at me, and as he spoke, blood kept trickling between his fingers, which were tightly covering his wound. Yes, what am I doing here? The assassin was obviously after him; the most dangerous place was right next to him. What…

- Chapter 32: I didn't realize you were so sentimental "You always say that." Zong Yanlei rubbed my lower lip with his finger, then probed into my mouth. He pressed down on my tongue with a hint of punishment. "When I catch you, you quickly admit your mistake. But you don't really think you did anything wrong." "No..." I mumbled, biting down gently and then quickly releasing. "No?" The ice pack stopped between my shoulder blades, then slid down again. Zong Yanlei pressed against my tongue,…

- Chapter 33: The Good Shepherd Lays Down His Life for the Flock The next morning, as dazzling spots of light pierced through the glass door of the balcony and quietly jumped onto my eyelids, I frowned and struggled to wake up. Facing the luxurious decorations in the room that were both strange and familiar, I was momentarily disoriented and didn't know what day it was. Am I sixteen or twenty-five? I wondered if it's because I'd been in the metaverse for too long that I was experiencing some side…

- Chapter 34: As Long as I Don't Die, There's Always a Chance After A-Qi and I made our appearance, we were taken away from the room separately. A-Qi kept looking back at me as he left, his eyes filled with uncertainty. "Don't be afraid," I mouthed to him. He must have figured out which words they were, because he nodded. Two clowns led me through the maze-like mansion, eventually taking me to a spacious dining room. They unchained my hands and feet, threw me into a huge cage, and then left…
