He Zhiyuan was now attending the very school Zhou Mingmei had long set her heart on—the county’s No. 1 High School. Among the nearby cities and counties, No. 1 High was quite well-known, though it was a private school with hefty tuition fees. Of course, this money didn’t come from the Qiu family. Instead, the lawyer who handled all the affairs of the He family had arranged for He Zhiyuan to enroll there, and had paid the tuition himself. Otherwise, given the character of the Qiu couple, He Zhiyuan…- 335.0 K • Completed
- Today it is still raining, but it feels a bit more stuffy than yesterday. Qiu Xuning opens the window to let in some fresh air and folds the clean clothes that he didn’t have time to fold yesterday, which were piled at the foot of the bed. He neatly stacks them and puts them into the wardrobe. It’s clear that he didn’t sleep well again, having cried earlier, so his eyes are slightly swollen, and there’s a faint dark circle under his eyes. After folding the clothes, he grabs the trash bag from…

- This dinner left everyone feeling uneasy. Qiu Xuning didn’t have much of an appetite either but to avoid getting hungry later, he still forced himself to finish a bowl of rice. After the meal, Zhou Mingmei couldn’t stand the way Qiu Xuning kept staring at her with those pleading eyes, as if he had a lot to say. With no other choice, she said, “I’ll go pay the bill.” Qiu Xuning let out a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth curving into a smile. The waiter who had greeted them earlier…

- Qiu Xuning knew he had no right to lecture Zhou Mingmei and the others. After all, they were his elders—even if they had made mistakes, as a junior, it wasn’t his place to say much. Yet ever since Qiu Zhaozhao told him she wanted to drop out of school to earn money, to Qiu Haiyan’s overwhelming grievances, and now to Zhou Mingmei shamelessly taking advantage of others, the discomfort in Qiu Xuning’s heart had slowly built up and by today, it had reached a breaking point. Zhou Mingmei and the…

- An indescribable atmosphere grew and spread between the two of them, like the summer wind, carrying a trace of heat and lingering tenderness, or like the grass about to break through the soil, restless and eager to emerge. Neither of them spoke. After a while, Qiu Xuning’s cheeks flushed slightly. He looked away and said softly to He Zhiyuan, “My mom’s taking me out to dinner tonight. Why don’t you come too?” He Zhiyuan said nothing. Qiu Xuning glanced at him quickly, then lowered his…

- It was also a rainy day. Early in the morning, Qiu Xuning was asked by Zhou Mingmei to go upstairs to collect the laundry. Just as he was holding a pile of clothes and about to go downstairs, he heard the phone ringing in the room. Qiu Xuning hesitated for a moment, turned around, and struggled to open the bedroom door. He put down the pile of clothes and picked up the phone. It was a call from Teacher Jiang, so Qiu Xuning quickly answered it. "Hello." Qiu Xuning said nervously, his tongue feeling…

- "At that time, we can raise a cat and a dog." He Zhiyuan said slowly. His words were very ambiguous, and Qiu Xuning couldn't tell what he meant, but he didn't dare to ask. His heart was racing and a wave of restlessness rose within him, making his mouth dry and his throat feel like it was full of something, leaving him unable to speak. He Zhiyuan asked, "What do you think?" "…Huh?" Qiu Xuning licked his slightly dry lips, then let out a soft breath before raising his face to look at him. His…

- Qiu Xuning took off his soft fabric pants and sat at the foot of the bed, staring at the damp stain on them for a long time. A faint mist of moisture welled up in his clear, gentle eyes. It wasn’t that he was completely naive—he vaguely recalled some unspeakable fragments from the dream, and that was what made his heart ache. He sat for a while before finding a clean, fresh pair of pants to put on. Then he rolled up the soiled ones and slipped out of the room like a thief. It was already…

- Before, the school was so close to home, just a ten-minute walk away, but now, Qiu Xuning felt it was unusually long. To make matters worse, He Zhiyuan's palm had landed on his shoulder, warmly enveloping it, and his arm slightly brushed against the back of his neck. It was very itchy, this itch like little bugs drilling into his heart, occasionally nibbling, making it even harder for him to ignore the strong sensation. Halfway through, Qiu Xuning finally couldn’t hold back and spoke, “He…

- On the day Qiu Xuning finished the exam, it suddenly started raining. The rain came so abruptly that the weather forecast hadn’t mentioned it. Many people, like Qiu Xuning, hadn’t brought umbrellas, so they all crowded into the corridor after the exam. “I remember it rained during the high school and college entrance exams last year too,” Qin Shouze said as he walked up to Qiu Xuning. Qiu Xuning looked at the heavy rain, his refined brows knitting slightly. Qin Shouze watched his…
