After a long moment, Jiang Lou was still smiling: "Cry? Do you think I'm like you?" He withdrew his hand, stuffing it into his pocket. "Since your fever's gone, you should go home early. Don't make your mom worry." After saying that, he walked past Li Tang, striding forward on his own. Li Tang wanted to follow, taking a few steps before slowly stopping. Although he had been in Xucheng for two months, since he hadn't integrated, his impression of the place remained vague. Not until now, watching…- 197.1 K • Completed
- There were plenty of seats on the bus, and the two took their places. Jiang Lou said, "Don't go back this afternoon; those guys will likely wait until school lets out." Moreover, Xucheng High School was currently hosting a sports meet, its gates wide open, making it easy to sneak in. The last time they encountered them was after evening study hours, when the darkness concealed even a brawl. Now, in broad daylight, if school administrators got involved… It was indeed dangerous. But Li Tang had…

- Chapter 13: Unable to Swallow On the second day of the sports meet, a morning rain did little to dampen the students' spirits; their cheers shook the sky. Li Tang traded a bag of snacks for an hour of coverage from a fellow announcer. As he called out over the broadcast, "Students participating in the men's long jump, please gather at the southeast corner of the field," he carried a sealed bottle of water and headed that way. The broadcast station was located right in the middle of the field,…

- On Monday morning, when Li Tang descended downstairs, it was no surprise to see a gift box placed on the dining table. Auntie came out from the kitchen, wiping her hands, "This was sent back by Master. He said it's your birthday present." Taking a bite of the fried dough stick, chewing slowly, he opened the box to find a watch inside. He usually didn't have much appetite in the morning. Li Tang drank half a cup of soy milk, then returned upstairs, opening the drawer of his bedroom cabinet, tossing…

The Maple Lake Rehabilitation Center was a place completely cut off from the world, at least for Ke Mingxuan, it was utterly isolated. His daily routine revolved around this small villa. Eating, sleeping, reading, taking walks in the yard to get some fresh air, and waiting for the medical staff to come regularly to check his body and do shoulder rehab. After some time of rest, his right arm was nearly fully healed, and his basic daily life wasn’t much affected. His doctor said that as long as he kept…- 208.3 K • Completed
- Less than a hundred meters stood between them, barely a few dozen steps for Bian Yiqiu to cross. In his younger days, he could’ve sprinted the distance in under twenty seconds. Now, though, he could only sit in the car, staring through the tinted, dark-gray window at the direction of the villa. The modest two-story building was shrouded by lush greenery, with carefully maintained landscaping. At key vantage points, professional bodyguards stood guard, forming an invisible but impenetrable barrier.…

- Liang Ziyue was considered the most down-to-earth among this group of second-generation heirs. His background wasn’t as intimidating as the Ke or Chu families, and he was more straightforward and gentle. He wasn’t particularly close to Ke Mingxuan, and he only spoke a few extra words with Bian Yiqiu when they were off-roading because of his daughter. Afterward, they could be called friends at best, the kind who’d call each other to check in during the holidays. They didn’t keep in regular contact,…

- Bian Yiqiu felt like his body was falling apart. When he was seven, a stray dog bit through his palm. Terrified of rabies, he used a piece of iron heated by fire to scrape away the swollen, raw flesh around the wound. He later realized it was pointless, but luckily, the dog had just been hungry, not infected. At twelve, he fought with a group of thugs over turf. He lunged at their leader, sinking his teeth into his throat, while steel pipes, fists, and baseball bats pounded his back relentlessly.…

- Lin Jiayan’s attempt to help Bian Yiqiu escape infuriated Qian Ying but he couldn’t bring himself to hit or scold him. Left with no better option, he dragged Lin Jiayan back to the lounge and locked him in. He instructed the guards at the door, “As long as he doesn’t harm himself or try to commit suicide, even if he tears the lounge apart, don’t open the door.” “You bastard Qian!” Lin Jiayan banged on the door, shouting at the top of his lungs, “Let me out, you son of a bitch! Qian…

- With Lin Jiayan’s persistent efforts, the thick hemp rope was finally cut. Bian Yiqiu immediately felt a sense of relief, but he still couldn’t get up. Lin Jiayan didn’t notice this. He put away his dagger and walked to the door. Peering through the small vent in the door, he lowered his voice and said, “There are two people guarding you, but there’s one more following me. I’ll go out first, take the one following me with me, and then you can go out. No problem, right?” He spoke in a…
