The first leg of this year's ISSF World Cup was held in New Delhi, India. In the qualification rounds, all three Chinese athletes performed exceptionally well and advanced to the finals. The last time all male air pistol shooters from China made it to the finals in a World Cup was during the previous Olympic cycle—four years ago. Even the usually stern head coach couldn't help but praise them a few words. Gu Yiming was eliminated in the fifth round of the elimination stage, scoring 197.8 points and…- 63.1 K • Completed
136 At noon, Zhang Wenwen called, asking He Fei to have lunch with her. He Fei thought about it—he hadn't been fulfilling his usual duties for a while now, like calling before bed, waiting for Zhang Wenwen outside her classroom or dorm before meals, or making time on weekends to go shopping with her. Out of a sense of guilt, He Fei suggested eating out, and Zhang Wenwen happily agreed. The goddamn restaurant across from the school's main gate was still playing Yang Kun's "Whatever," sung…- 195.9 K • Completed
Before the sun completely disappeared below the horizon, Miguel followed Caesar back onto the ship. Even though they had docked, dinner was still held on the ship. As for the reason— Caesar: "Can the garbage in the tavern even be considered food?" See, the reason was that the captain was a man who liked to be overly particular. The dinner could be described as luxurious—thanks to docking, the ingredients had become more abundant, and Caesar's personal chef was finally able to showcase his…- 221.3 K • Completed
Zheng Jie instantly turned into a zombie, his face looking like he was ready to ride the wind and depart. "Six months, twelve thousand," the gangster said. Zheng Jie replied wearily, "Don't have it, really don't." Situ Ye looked a bit puzzled but didn't interrupt—he wasn't fully aware of Zheng Jie's messy debts. The gangster continued, "Pay it all at once, and we'll leave you alone from now on." Zheng Jie had been hounded by debt collectors so often that he was completely numb. Someone had…- 171.2 K • Completed
The church bells chimed melodiously. A few birds fluttered and soared into the clear blue sky.Light footsteps approached from ahead, and someone drew near."Is he alright?" asked a kind elderly woman with snow-white hair.Felix shook his head, gently shifting to let Erik's head rest more comfortably on his lap. Erik had stopped sobbing, but Felix thought he probably couldn't face anyone else in his current state. He kept one arm around Erik's shoulders and used the other to tenderly stroke his hair."And you,…- 54.1 K • Completed
Jiang Zhihuo’s movements paused, then he smiled. As soon as he received the report, Jiang Zhihuo already suspected this. If Yan Mu could provide the activity report, then the last few pages of the character profile were certainly not missing. It was an obvious detail–if he had nothing to hide, he could have just shown him the digital version like the night before. Why bother to print it out? Was he deliberately trying to mislead him, or did he have another motive? If Yan Mu didn’t want to…- 369.8 K • Completed
- Chen Ang had settled into his new department. The commute was even more congested than before. The route was always packed, and sometimes he couldn’t even find a shared bike. He often clocked in just seconds before being marked late. A new environment always brought a certain amount of anxiety, but Chen Ang handled it with ease. On his first day, he brought back some chocolates he had picked up during an overseas trip. He handed them out to each desk in the office as a small gesture of goodwill. It…

Most of the men under Bu Nian were rough-edged generals, skilled in battle and crude by nature. Back when they served under the old general, they were already the sort who spent their nights with the finest courtesans and drowned themselves in the strongest wine. After Bu Nian took over, their habits remained unchanged, growing even more unrestrained over time. All evening, he sat quietly with a cup in hand, drinking but never joining in the noise or revelry. Several courtesans who had been eyeing him…- 157.9 K • Completed
- In that split second, they dashed out of the room. Their movements were swift as they sprinted up the stairs to the rooftop. Once there, they locked the door behind them. Mo Zimu, pointing toward the other building, said, "There’s a way from this rooftop to the next building." But when Ivan looked at the distance between the two buildings, he frowned. There was a gap of at least seven or eight meters. Mo Zimu smiled slightly. He pulled a thick wooden board from behind the rooftop pipe and placed it…

- Ivan was a practical man. He picked a quiet yet tasteful bed-and-breakfast, one that didn’t seem too out of place. The innkeeper gave them a knowing look before saying, "Twenty-five pounds per person. We offer a continental breakfast, or for an extra two pounds, you can have an English breakfast." Ivan tossed an extra five pounds onto the counter. The innkeeper took the money, grabbed the key, and handed it to him. Mo Zimu kept his head down and quickly went upstairs. Once inside the room, Ivan…
