The restaurant suddenly fell silent, the hustle and bustle outside the private room turned into white noise in the background of their gaze.

The dessert was rich with milk fragrance, yet not overly sweet - Yan Ankuo had good taste. After affirming the host's palate, Bian Ji didn't speak again. Today, he had displayed too many abnormalities, coupled with his old friend's teasing,…- 135.4 K • Completed
The so-called new house hadn't been secured yet, so Wei Yang returned to his rented apartment. Since he was discharged from the hospital quite late, it was already evening by the time he got home. The building remained dark and quiet, and even the group of people guarding the entrance hadn't changed much.

His adoptive mother shared the surname Yan and was a distant cousin of Yan Ru's father—so distant that it was hard to pinpoint exactly how they were related. Though they had lived in the same village, Xuehua Village was large, and the two families lived far enough apart that they rarely visited each other even during holidays. When Yan Ru was…- 141.2 K • Completed

Chapter 14 - Appreciating Paintings Upon his return to the Duke Jing Estate, Xu Chun indeed instructed the steward to prepare a set of traditional Chinese painting materials. He chose a conventional painting and a pair of plum vases, which were decent enough. His heart, however, wasn't truly in these gifts.

QQ had the Legion group chat, while YY had the Legion channel. Even though he rarely joined the voice chat in the channel unless it was for a dungeon run, having the Vice Guild Leader's avatar always online in the friends list was a morale boost for the guild members. Later, after being kicked out of the Legion and with…- 509.5 K • Completed
