CHAPTERS
Initially, the lights were off, and Li Tang virtually felt his way inside. As the switch was pressed, the ceiling lamp flickered on, and he reflexively closed his eyes due to the sudden brightness. When he opened them again, the scene before him left Li Tang slightly startled. The room was smaller than he imagined, lacking any decent furniture. Two folding tables leaned against the wall riddled with cracks; one held kitchen utensils and dishes, while the other was piled high with books. A…- 197.1 K • Completed
- They settled their bills separately, and the two chatted for a bit at the entrance of the small store. "Do you live around here?" Li Tang asked. "Mm." Jiang Lou said, "Do you live nearby too?" "No, just passing through." "Have you been here before?" Li Tang looked around. "No, I think I came to Xucheng once when I was very young, but I didn’t get to see much." As he spoke, he noticed that Jiang Lou was looking at him. That gaze seemed to… be probing? But it was only for an instant;…

- Li Tang couldn’t make sense of what Jiang Lou was saying, what did he mean by "stop pretending"? Wasn’t it normal to be more terrified when mugged late at night? As for "do you know who I am," Li Tang pondered over it and came up with a guess: "Could it be that you were once part of their gang?" Back home, lying in bed, Li Tang replayed Jiang Lou’s expression over and over again. He could only discern a hint of confusion and a subtle sense of difficulty to express himself. He had forgotten…

- It took Li Tang a moment to find his voice again. "No," he said, not wanting others to see him as an immature child. He denied it, "My home is very close to the school, my mother is waiting for me at home." So I don't need to dream about it. But the lingering memory and the accompanying anxiety and fear were still fresh. Li Tang took a deep breath, vaguely realizing that his response was less for others and more for himself. Jiang Lou tugged at the corner of his mouth, as if hearing a joke, but…

- On Friday morning, during the reading class, Li Tang was distracted, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of his English notebook. Two days had passed, and Jiang Lou seemed to have forgotten about it, not returning it yet. It wasn't that the notebook was particularly precious—it was just the beginning of the semester, after all, and he'd only written one page. His handwriting wasn't neat either, hardly something he could show off. If he hadn't been caught off guard while sneaking a peek and panicked,…

- 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…

- The season for the start of school. Li Tang arrived at school at seven o'clock, but he only got up at ten past six. After a leisurely wash-up and dressing, he went downstairs where a steaming breakfast was laid out on the dining table. Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk - none of these were Li Tang's favorites. He circled the dining table once before opening the refrigerator door, subtly turning his head to look into the kitchen. This residence was a sizable semi-detached villa, not as…

It did not take Bu Nian long to break through Fenglei Fort. Even at Tianfu Temple, the elites among the rebels had failed to resist the Bu family’s army. These ragtag outlaws stood even less of a chance. He charged the mountain with fury. The moment the gates were broken open, he surged ahead at the front of the line. Anyone who dared stand in his way was cut down on the spot. He carried an aura of divine slaughter, as though possessed by a blood-soaked asura. None dared to approach him. Bu…- 157.9 K • Completed
- Qian Zeliang had sent Feng Zhang to retrieve the ransom. One hundred thousand taels was no small sum. Helian Qiufeng had packed the silver into chests and loaded them onto five carriages. Wary of any tricks, Feng Zhang had his scouts keep constant watch on the exchange site. Only after everyone had withdrawn, leaving behind just the boxes, did his men move in. Feng Zhang opened one of the chests and was nearly blinded by the gleam of the neatly stacked silver ingots. In his entire life, he had never…

- Lian Ai’s eyes were filled with sorrow. “Xiaoyu…” There were too many conflicts between them. Too much had happened for them to remain friends. Lian Ai understood this, and he accepted it. Still, he hoped Zuo Lingyu could stay away from trouble, away from Qian Zeliang. He could go somewhere no one knew him and start over. The court was hunting down traitors, but Zuo Lingyu had never taken part in the rebellion. Bu Nian would not pursue him. Zuo Lingyu turned his eyes away. His voice was cold…
