The on-site inspection was scheduled for Wednesday. On Tuesday afternoon, Li Tang's right eyelid twitched uncontrollably, jumping whether his eyes were open or closed, even when he pressed his hand against it. Seeing this, Li Zichu worriedly said, "It seems like you're having bad luck these past few days. You really have to be careful." While expressing concern, Li Zichu kept a safe distance from Li Tang, refusing to even share an elevator with him. "You go down first. I'll take the next one,"…- 197.1 K • Completed
- The next morning, on his way to work, Li Tang received a call from his father, Li Yuanshan. Li Yuanshan first asked about Li Tang's recent life. Upon hearing that he was still staying at a hotel, he grumbled, "You have a perfectly good home, yet you insist on staying outside." He then inquired about the company's operations. Li Yuanshan expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "You've spent so much capital before even beginning to turn a profit. I wonder what kind of results you'll achieve." Over…

- Seven years later, autumn. The system’s built-in alarm went off, and within ten seconds, a slender, pale hand reached out from the bedside to jab at it with its index finger, precisely silencing the alarm. Immediately after, bare feet touched the ground as the figure moved towards the en-suite bathroom of the suite. Glancing at the disheveled reflection in the mirror, they bent down to turn on the faucet, beginning their morning routine. Five minutes later, emerging from the bathroom, the person…

- At one o'clock in the morning, Jiang Lou sprinted down the deserted streets. The prolonged "beep" sound after the call was disconnected echoed in his ears, stretched out infinitely slowly, transforming into a sharp ringing that assaulted him with overwhelming force, threatening to engulf him in the boundless darkness. Pressing hard on the left side of his ear to suppress the needle-like buzz, Jiang Lou ran while dialing Zhang Zhaoyue's number. She answered immediately upon dialing, perhaps not…

- Soon, the other classmates arrived one after another. First came Li Zichu, Huo Xichen, Zhou Dongze, and Su Qinhan, all following Jiang Lou and Li Tang. Li Zichu and Su Qinhan supported the almost limp Li Tang on either side, while Huo Xichen asked in confusion what had happened. Zhou Dongze had already pushed his way forward, ready to punch Jiang Lou in the face. Jiang Lou caught his wrist and sidestepped to avoid it. This wasn't the time for a fight. "You should take him to a quiet place…

- Fortunately, Jiang Lou's ribs were not broken. The next day, after going to the hospital for an X-ray, it was determined that he had a minor bone fracture that could be treated conservatively. The main treatment involved external fixation and pain management. Elastic chest bands and adhesive tapes were used for stabilization, and although epidural anesthesia was recommended, Jiang Lou found it troublesome and instead opted for pain medication before returning to school. When Li Tang noticed that…

- The next day at noon, Jiang Lou retrieved his voice recorder from Wang Yan. Wang Yan seemed reluctant. "What audio is it? Are you planning to confess your love to someone through the broadcasting station?" Jiang Lou said no, but Wang Yan remained curious. "Then what is it? The file is even encrypted…" Jiang Lou didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Have you let anyone else see it?" Wang Yan replied, "Of course not, there are no more than five people who can enter and exit the broadcasting…

- The real cessation of all activities came deep into the night. Xucheng's night had an eerie stillness to it, and from the twenty-seventh floor, the sky was a tile-blue color drenched by rain. At that moment, Li Tang struggled to keep his eyelids open, asking Jiang Lou with a mix of satisfaction and envy, "Where did you learn all this?" "Learn what?" "These… moves." "You guess." "It must have been online, there's no way you could've known this without a teacher." Jiang Lou's hand…

- As the weekend approached, Li Tang decided to move their plans forward by a day, unwilling to risk missing out on their time together during the break. "There's no difference between four days and five," he reassured Jiang Lou, partly to convince himself as well. So, Jiang Lou booked a room in advance using his phone, and after Saturday night's study session, they met at the back gate of their school before taking a taxi to the hotel. Hardly had they gotten into the car when Li Tang pulled out his…

- On Monday, before morning reading class, Jiang Lou arrived at the classroom to tidy up the pile of books and test papers on his desk when the boy behind him leaned over and sniffed exaggeratedly. "Why do you smell so good today?" Jiang Lou was taken aback. Yesterday, he had showered but didn't change his clothes, using the rose-scented shower gel from Li Tang's bathroom. The scent of the shower gel alone wouldn't have lingered until now. The main reason was that Jiang Lou had spent the entire…
