Two days before the Spring Festival, Jiang Ruo returned to the large apartment in the city center to pack up his belongings and move out. He had already confirmed from Aunt Fang's information that he chose a time when Xi Yufeng wouldn't be around. When using his fingerprint to unlock the door, everything inside remained as it was when he left. Jiang Ruo stared at his slippers by the entrance for a while before pulling out disposable shoe covers from his pocket. Fortunately, he didn't bring much…- 178.8 K • Completed
- What followed for Jiang Ruo was an even longer, more profound silence. Xi Yufeng's expression was nearly blank, as if he had heard some obscure, incomprehensible language. But the subconscious reaction could not lie; Jiang Ruo did not see even a hint of surprise in his eyes, proving that he wasn't completely unaware of the matter at hand. The extent of Jiang Ruo's feelings for Xi Yufeng far exceeded reasonable bounds. Yet, understanding and hearing it firsthand were two vastly different…

- With the New Year approaching, Xi Yufeng found time to pay Meng Chao a visit. Meng Chao was unusually present at the company, not his usual self, wandering about. When Xi Yufeng knocked and entered, he found him staring blankly at a document. He only realized someone was there when Xi Yufeng approached, hastily flipping the document over and tossing it on the corner of his desk. A quick glance revealed the clear logo of a certain hospital on the paper. Xi Yufeng asked, "Is Auntie unwell?" "No,"…

- The only wine in the room that was stored in a wooden box was the bottle Jiang Ruo had brought. Perhaps sensing the uncanny coincidence, Xi Yufeng looked at the waiter, who promptly said, "It was Miss Meng's request; I'm just following orders." After a brief pause, Xi Yufeng reached for the bottle of wine but was beaten to it by Jiang Ruo, whose palm pressed against the top of the wooden box. "This is a gift for you," said Jiang Ruo. His expression was inscrutable, his hand firmly held down the…

- In late December, the TV series "Sun and Moon of Jing Mountain" premiered simultaneously on satellite TV and video platforms, with the first episode achieving impressive ratings right off the bat. The official Weibo account released high-definition stills to celebrate and tagged several main actors. Xiao Shen sent his congratulations early in the morning, asking Jiang Ruo if he wanted to personally log onto Weibo to see. His fan count and topic page followers were skyrocketing by the second, outpacing…

- But Xi Yufeng continued to look at Jiang Ruo. In this relationship, he had always been the dominant one. Raising the bed once more, Xi Yufeng helped Jiang Ruo sit up and proceeded to lift his shirt. Aside from the large bruise on his abdomen, there were varying sizes of subcutaneous hematoma on his waist and back. These stood out shockingly against the surrounding pale skin. After checking, he went to pull down Jiang Ruo's pants, which was stopped by Jiang Ruo: "There's nothing wrong down…

- Upon regaining consciousness, Jiang Ruo was first struck by the cold. Sitting on the hard concrete floor with his hands bound behind him and his legs tied up, his mouth was sealed shut with wide strips of tape, causing his breath to come out in visible puffs of mist. Jiang Ruo quickly assessed the situation, widening his eyes as he scanned his surroundings. He found himself in a spacious room resembling a warehouse, with piles of scrap wood stacked in the corner. When he looked towards the door, his…

- Today, Xi Yufeng returned late. Upon entering the door, he noticed the floor lamp in the living room was on. As he approached, he saw Jiang Ruo curled up on the sofa, having no idea how long he had been asleep. Hearing footsteps, Jiang Ruo slowly opened his eyes, rubbed them, and after his vision focused, he smiled. "You're back." This scene was too close to human imagination of what a "home" should look like. Xi Yufeng looked at Jiang Ruo for a moment, reached out to hold his hand that was hanging…

- On their way back, when asked about the aftermath, Jiang Ruo said, "I just went back to send some money; otherwise, how could I have returned so quickly?" This attitude didn't seem like it belonged to someone with a harmonious family relationship. Xi Yufeng didn't press further, only saying, "If you need help..." "How can you always think about helping others?" Jiang Ruo laughed, "You really do look like a rich idiot with too much money." Xi Yufeng asked, "Who said I'm a rich idiot?" Jiang Ruo…

- Jiang Ruo's hometown was located in a coastal city on the eastern side of the country. From Feng City, it took a two-hour flight to the airport, then a transfer to a bus to reach the county district. Another transfer would be required once they reached the county to head towards the town. The dilapidated bus rattled as it moved, filling the air with the stench of gasoline mixed with various food odors. Jiang Ruo sat in the back seat by the window, ignoring the cold and cracking the window open for a…
