On the second day of the holiday, Jiang Ruo woke up late. Yawning as he left the guest room, he was surprised to see Xi Yufeng sitting at the dining table. "Isn't today Monday?" Jiang Ruo checked his phone, "It is Monday, aren't you going to work?" Xi Yufeng glanced at him, "Who said working means you have to go to the office?" Jiang Ruo understood - working from home. Being the boss had its perks. Just as he rolled up his sleeves to head into the kitchen, he heard Xi Yufeng say,…- 178.8 K • Completed
I was exhausted, but incredibly happy.It felt like it had been ages since I last laughed heartily; at least three or four months.Bolin and I had never had such carefree fun before his passing. Now, Brother Baichuan and I squeezed out of the crowd, drenched in sweat, as if all our troubles and miseries had washed away with the perspiration.We sat at the bar for a while longer, finishing off our cigarettes and draining our glasses, then we left that noisy, illusory world behind."I think I’ve got tinnitus,"…- 87.2 K • Completed
After carefully calculating and "consulting" Little Celestial Master Zhang, Master Wei finally formulated a plan to wrap things up. He decided to scout out Cultural Street first, with his destination naturally being Treasure House. Unlike ordinary antique shops, Treasure House operated both wholesale and retail businesses. With its extensive connections, fair prices, and a wide selection of rare feng shui items that were hard to come by on the market, it was a favorite among small shop owners. As such,…- 380.6 K • Completed
The year I first arrived in Beijing, I was still a clueless music youth—long hair, living in a basement in Chaoyang District, smoking, drinking, and doing bar gigs. Every day, I felt like a pearl covered in dust, convinced that the mainstream music industry was full of idiots, yet still hoping that one of those idiots would be slightly less idiotic and pluck me out from the sea of mediocrity. Later, I wondered if my life would have been different if I had met Guan Lan earlier. But then again, back…- 76.9 K • Completed
For at least five minutes, Li Tang was utterly stunned. He even wondered if he was participating in some prank show. "When did we…?" The word "dating" circled his mouth but was swallowed back down. He couldn't say it out loud. Jiang Lou lowered his gaze. "So, you didn't think we were dating?" His voice sounded muffled, as if hurt and then feeling wronged. This made Li Tang feel incredibly guilty, his heart racing like a wild horse, making it even harder for him to think calmly. It…- 197.1 K • Completed
Wei Lai raised his eyebrows slightly, flashing a scheming smile that screamed "this queen is the most beautiful in the world." Chu Yin was momentarily stunned. Some beautiful people lose their charm when they smile—they either look silly or end up resembling memes. But Wei Lai wasn't like that. When he smiled, his snow-white, perfectly aligned teeth gleamed, with no double chin or wrinkles in sight. It was like the first warm rays of spring, a sight for sore eyes. Chu Yin thought to himself, If…- 133.2 K • Completed
After dinner, they arrived at the cinema a little earlier than necessary, waiting for the screening to begin.The movie tickets had been booked in advance. Ye Zhou wasn't the type to force himself to watch a film he didn't like just to create a romantic atmosphere. So he straightforwardly asked Guan Heng what he wanted to see. Neither of them liked romantic movies, so they chose a suspense film, watching intently throughout. They even discussed the plot for a while after the movie ended.Guan Heng's high IQ…- 134.8 K • Completed
In the deep of night, the bustling activity of the Imperial Capital during the day had gradually dissipated. The shops along the streets had extinguished their lights and closed their doors. After the noise of the streets faded away, only the rhythmic sound of patrolmen's horse hooves in the distance remained, embellishing the starry sky that only appeared profoundly beautiful at this hour. The chill of the night grew heavier, penetrating Lin Wei's clothing, which, unlike a magic robe, offered no…- 224.9 K • Completed
"What was I supposed to do again?" Yun Xiguang turned to ask his companions."You were going to..." Everyone paused simultaneously, "What was it again?"Forgetting what he was supposed to do didn't faze Yun Xiguang. He calmly recalled, then said, "I haven't lost my memory about the bookworms. I know I'm supposed to stop them. I'm holding this lighter...looks like I was going to set fire to the archives."Zhao Yu said solemnly, "You probably can't do it now. Ruan Shu doesn't want you to, so he ate your…- 205.2 K • Completed
- After leaving the residence, Xu Chun didn't return to the Duke's mansion; instead, he headed straight for Bamboo Branch Workshop. Unexpectedly, he found it empty. Liu Shun hung his head and reported, “Our Ninth Master said he had been away from home for too long. Now that his eyesight has improved, he has returned to take care of some family affairs. He'll visit again when he has time in a few days.” Xu Chun glanced at the room where Wu Xingxue's belongings, originally brought by Wu Xingxue and Liu…
