He Zhiyuan reached a hand toward him, and Qiu Xuning instinctively shrank his neck back, squeezing his eyes shut. When nothing happened after waiting for a while, the tight frown on Qiu Xuning’s face slowly eased. He cautiously opened his eyes. By then, He Zhiyuan was already sitting on the bed, tidying up the clothes that Qiu Zhaozhao had pulled out of the wardrobe. “…” Qiu Xuning couldn’t quite believe he hadn’t raised a hand. In a small voice, he asked, “You’re not going to hit…- 335.0 K • Completed
- “Uh—um, I didn’t know you didn’t lock the door…” Qiu Xuning stammered. Flustered at being caught, nervous and guilty, he didn’t even dare look at He Zhiyuan. He ducked his head as if he had really done something wrong, his face burning hot. In front of He Zhiyuan, he felt as if he had shrunk several sizes, suddenly small and insignificant. He Zhiyuan’s gaze shifted away from Qiu Zhaozhao in the room and landed on Qiu Xuning. Qiu Xuning felt the weight of that gaze fall on him. His…

- It was Saturday, so Qiu Xuning didn’t have class. Qiu Shunming had taken the day off and came back, saying he was taking the whole family out to a banquet. “What kind of banquet?” Qiu Xuning asked. Qiu Shunming said, “A wedding feast, of course. The eldest daughter of the Chungen family across from us is finally getting married, so we’re going over for her wedding banquet.” Qiu Xuning froze for a moment, then stammered, “Everyone’s going?” Qiu Shunming said, “Of course…

- Zhou Mingmei was far too anxious about Qiu Xuning. It dragged on for a week or half a month every time she asked for leave, while Qiu Xuning himself just wanted to get back to school as soon as possible. Once at school, Qiu Xuning went straight to the office to report back to Teacher Jiang. Teacher Jiang didn’t really have anything against him. The boy was just restless, unable to stay focused and always distracted in class. His grades used to be good, but he had slipped in the past few exams,…

- He Zhi Yuan returned to his old room and saw that the bedding had already been laid out. Behind him, Qiu Xuning spoke with a hint of self-satisfaction in his tone, “I picked the color for you. It suits you, and it doesn’t show dirt easily.” The quilt Qiu Xuning chose for him was a simple shade of gray-blue, with the mattress underneath in the same color scheme. “And the keys too. I asked my mom to give them all to me.” Qiu Xuning took out two keys and handed them to He Zhiyuan. It was…

- When He Zhiyuan was ordered by Zhou Mingmei to move out of the storage room on the third floor and back to the second floor, there wasn’t the slightest trace of surprise in his eyes. Because Qiu Xuning soon appeared at the doorway. He didn’t dare step inside, just leaned quietly against the wall by the door and whispered, “I’m staying on the second floor too. Your room there has great lighting, plus a desk—it’s really convenient for homework. It’s even better than my room.” He Zhiyuan…

- The weather had turned much cooler today. When Qiu Zhaozhao came to the hospital, she brought an extra coat for Qiu Xuning. But since it was warm indoors, the coat was of no use and was placed in the cabinet by Qiu Zhaozhao. “Ningning, does your head still hurt?” Qiu Zhaozhao took a thermos container out of the bag, quickly served the food inside into a bowl, and placed it in front of Qiu Xuning. Qiu Xuning still had a look on his face as if he had been startled. Even when Qiu Zhaozhao brought…

A week ago, Jae-an had a huge fight with Seo Jae-rim. Calling it a fight felt embarrassing—fights were something you could only have in an equal relationship—but for Jae-an, who habitually erased his emotions and shrank down in front of Seo Jae-rim, it had still been an unfamiliar kind of back-and-forth. He had even slapped Jae-rim and yelled. He’d been terrified of how severe the punishment would be this time. Instead, it was Seo Jae-rim who bent first and coaxed him. In the end, he did show…- 110.9 K • Ongoing
- Upset over losing the game, Jae-an paced before the liquor cabinet. Jae-rim knew he wanted a drink but waited deliberately until he asked aloud. “Can I drink?” Stared at silently, he quickly added, “Just a little.” Jae-rim walked to the cabinet, pulling out a whiskey. The bottle was sturdy enough to crack a skull without breaking; the glass was plastic, of course. Preparing simple snacks, Jae-an couldn’t wait, sipping the strong liquor neat. Gulping it quickly alone, his light brown…

- Jae-an, mashing the controller buttons, pouted. Having been soundly defeated by an AI set to "easy difficulty," Jae-an turned off the console game and switched to the tablet. Matching colors to burst blocks—a game with no winning or losing, just simple clicking—wasn't difficult, but without anyone letting him win, it was boring. The living room phone rang at that moment. Setting down the tablet, Jae-an answered. "Playing games." "Just…." "Huh? You're coming…
