Along the dark and rugged corridor, he walked forward. The black stone walls were slick with dampness, covered in a thin layer of frost. Patches of dark green moss grew between the cracks, glistening under the faint firelight from the lamp troughs, dripping tiny beads of dew. From every wall, from every crack in the stone, came the undulating sound of hymns and the continuous Mass: He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the…- 103.8 K • Completed
In the car on the way home, Li Tang opened the WeChat group, where it was eerily silent. There was no evening self-study at the international school. At this time, everyone would usually gather to play together. Forget sending messages, even calls couldn't get through. Bored, he scrolled through his phone for a while. When he arrived home and got out of the car, he saw that the house was dark, as if no one was living there. Li Tang felt even more depressed. Entering the house, the nanny hurried…- 197.1 K • Completed
Perhaps it was because Yun Xiguang's neck was too comfortable that Chi Qiong, who had only intended to take a brief rest, ended up sleeping from noon until nightfall.Of course, a few hours of sleep meant nothing to Chi Qiong, who had once slumbered for a million years. Yet, Chi Qiong, who either didn't sleep at all or slept for ten thousand years at a time, almost thought he had slept for tens of thousands of years when he woke up groggily on Yun Xiguang's shoulder. He was momentarily puzzled about how…- 205.2 K • Completed
When he returned to the rental house, it was precisely two o'clock in the morning. A sliver of light leaked from the crack under the door on the left. Jiang Ruo knocked twice before gently pushing it open, revealing An He struggling to sit up. Hastily stepping forward to press his shoulders, Jiang Ruo helped him lie back down again. From the inner pocket of his suit, he retrieved a neatly folded stack of cash. "Are you at ease now?" An He weakly shook his head. "I was worried about you." "What…- 178.8 K • Completed
Ye Zhou felt his eyes light up, for although he himself wasn't bad-looking, it was rare to see such a pleasingly handsome man.His personality was open and he wasn't easily intimidated, so he quickly replied, "Hello, my name is Ye Zhou. I live next door to you, so we'll be neighbors from now on. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know."Guan Heng nodded at him, polite yet warm, "Thank you."Their conversation ended there, without any unnecessary small talk. After all, they had just met;…- 134.8 K • Completed
"Master~" "Master~" The soft, sweet voice, like a kitten's paws, scratched at one's heart. It was also like a mouthful of sticky syrup, threads upon threads, lingering on the throat, a sweetness that reached the very core of one's heart. The pear blossoms of March were in full bloom, jade-white and lustrous. The young boy standing beneath the tree with a sword, his eyes like gemstones, meticulously carved from jade, a cute bundle made of snow, was even more pleasing to the eye than the pear…- 41.2 K • Ongoing
The chaos in the wealthy district was refined and restrained. No one was shouting, but conversations and eating had stopped. Some began receiving calls, others checked their phones, their faces turning pale. Wei An noticed everyone lowering their voices, speaking anxiously or scanning news alerts on their phones. Like some of the guests, he too lowered his head to check his phone. Silver Bay was Taoyuan's largest terrestrial military base, where the majority of the Federal Military forces sent to…- 513.7 K • Completed
After that remark, another suffocating silence fell between them. Neither spoke. The buzzing sound from Wei Lai stopped, and Chu Yin transformed from a seductive big cat into a hopeless salted fish. Wei Lai spoke in a placating tone, "Brother, since you're already here. How about this—you take charge this time, and I'll do it next time, deal?" Chu Yin shot him a glance. Based on Wei Lai's outfit, it was obvious that someone of his status would never arrange a second meetup with the same person.…- 133.2 K • Completed
- "If you're heading to town, this is the shortest route—but also the steepest," Erik said. "Alternatively, you can keep going to the fork and take the path that passes by the watchtower. It's about three or four kilometers longer, but much easier to walk.""Which way are you taking?" asked the boy named Felix."This one," he pointed to the straight, downward hiking trail through the woods. "I can't climb down the cliff today, but I need to get my gear bag at the bottom.""Then I'll take this path too."Erik…

— 2 — "I wish to apologize to you," Mera blurted out. "In fact, all these years, I've wanted to find you, say sorry, and return all the money that belonged to you." "Money that belonged to me?" Mera replied, "A total of 1,064 marks. That's 532 euros now. I... I don't have that much cash on me today, but I swear I'll return every bit of it. I've never spent that money." Her face flushed, her blue eyes shimmering with emotion. The young man looked at her in confusion. "This money..." "Was…- 5.0 K • Completed
