By the time the three of them had gone downstairs and packed everything into the car, there was still no movement from upstairs. “Looks like we’ve shaken her off this time,” Zhen Zhen said. “Great Master, if I’d known, you should’ve just said something earlier.” Si Shaorong fell silent for a moment, then said, “I’m grateful for all the meals she made, but that and this are two different things. The truth always hurts. I didn’t want to say it.” “Tch,” Zhen Zhen folded her…-

The woman who came out of the room was wearing an apron, as if she had been cooking something. But it wasn’t even mealtime. What was she making at this hour? Jiang Yibai, curious, leaned slightly to peek inside. Zhen Zhen reacted quickly. She turned around and said, “Xiao Jiang, why don’t you go wait downstairs for a bit?” Jiang Yibai was an outsider here, and since she had already hinted for him to leave, it would’ve been shameless to stay and keep watching. He glanced at Si Shaorong, then…

It was Jiang Yibai’s first time seeing Zhen Zhen in person. He’d heard that Si Shaorong had a capable female assistant, but had never had the chance to meet her until now. Back when the rumors first started, many people assumed Zhen Zhen was the Great Master’s girlfriend, his so-called live-in assistant. That assumption had hit Jiang Yibai pretty hard. But within a year, Zhen Zhen had publicly clarified that there was absolutely nothing between her and the Great Master, and even laid out her…

Jiang Yibai sprawled lazily on the sofa, his long legs stretched out straight. Smiling, he looked at Si Shaorong. “Ge, you’ve never been in a relationship before, have you?” Si Shaorong let out a soft sound of surprise, tilting his head slightly to look at him. The lazy sofa sat much lower, so Jiang Yibai had to tilt his head back as well. Across the coffee table, the two of them looked at each other from a distance. Jiang Yibai licked his lips and said, “Liking someone doesn’t need any…

On the second day of staying at Jiang Yibai’s place, Si Shaorong hadn’t written a single word of his outline. At 9:30 in the morning, Jiang Yibai got up to wash up. His slippers made a soft dragging sound across the floor. He hummed a tune under his breath. Though he kept his voice low on purpose, Si Shaorong still heard it from the guest room. Surprisingly, Jiang Yibai’s humming was very pleasant to the ear. It had a warm, magnetic depth to it, very different from the bright, clear tone he…

Chapter 50 – Steady Rain Falling The swift boat cut through the waves like a blade, slicing through wind and sea. Outside the cabin, rain and wind began to howl like wailing ghosts. Inside the swaying cabin, Zheng Deli hung a paper lantern on the wall and sat cross-legged. By its light, he sorted through a bundle of bone pieces. The carved markings on the bones were uneven, as if recording the passage of time itself. Xiao Jiao and Chu Kuang were already fast asleep, their soft breaths rising and…-

It was Si Shaorong’s first day living at Jiang Yibai’s place. Jiang Yibai got up at ten. He made breakfast, cleaned the house, and watched a movie in the living room. At one in the afternoon, a student came for a lesson. She was a frail young girl who had fallen behind in school due to illness and was currently on leave. The girl looked pale and thin. Her expression was either vacant or gloomy, like a flower slowly withering in a place untouched by sunlight. Just looking at her stirred a sense of…

“Boss, why are you only telling me the most important part now? And why is your friend doing all of this for us? Are you sure it’s okay to accept it?” A twenty-four-year-old more skeptical than someone who’s lived for centuries. Just listening to him, you’d think he was some weathered old man who’d seen everything life had to offer—it was absurd, but at the same time, his sharp sense of caution was admirable. Muheon couldn’t stop smiling at how cute Hakyung’s nagging lips looked.…-

Fu Shanming had thrown all his strength into that stab, and he had hit the same wounded spot. Song Feng’s left arm now flared with pain at the slightest movement, essentially out of commission. The speedboat kept pace, closing in on the yacht. The ship loomed dark ahead, with only the cockpit glowing faintly, clearly prepared for a fight. Xiao Mingxuan and Song Feng’s eyes had already adjusted to the darkness. With the help of that dim light, they could vaguely make out a few human…-

Countless ships passed through the Alor Setar harbor every year. That man was wanted by the Chinese government. He wouldn’t dare board a passenger vessel in broad daylight. Now that it was past midnight, stowing away was far more likely. Which meant the port Fu Shanming mentioned probably wasn’t the well-known commercial terminal. Still, the strait lay just over ten kilometers west of the city. That much gave them a direction to follow. Song Feng glanced around. Most of the shops were already…
