12:15 PM Mo Zimu followed Berrick back to the main block. Despite the five thousand dollars, Berrick's attitude toward him had not noticeably improved. As they reached the entrance, Mo Zimu turned and said, "Boss, if my cellmates are not participating in Hunter Night tonight, I assume you’ve already found replacements, correct?" Berrick glared at him with his sharp, horse-like eyes. "Do I need you to tell me how to do my job?" "Forgive my meddling, Boss. If this deal were with Chief Adolf, I…- 117.3 K • Completed
- At that moment, countless thoughts raced through Mo Zimu’s mind, but none of them offered a perfect solution to deal with Ivan. He suddenly realized how little he truly knew about this potentially formidable enemy. Without enough understanding, he couldn’t devise an immediate countermeasure. When he looked up, he was startled to find Ivan standing alarmingly close. Instinctively, he recoiled, but Ivan seized his wrist, halting his retreat. "Don’t be afraid, Seven. I’ll keep your secret,"…

Sticking around any longer would have been pointless. He Dongying told Mu Yuan to pass a message to Xiang Yang, then left on his own. Mu Yuan picked up two slices of cake and walked over to the bar. He handed one to the man sitting there. The man took it with a smile and a hint of flirtation in his eyes as he looked at Mu Yuan. “You look unfamiliar. First time here?” He leaned in slightly, resting a hand on Mu Yuan’s thigh and tapping his fingers a few times. His eyes were half-lidded,…- 147.2 K • Completed
- The next day, when Xu Heng woke up, it was already late. Sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtains and scattered across the blanket. Chen Ang slept on his stomach, pressing down heavily on Xu Heng’s side. He was warm and heavy, and Xu Heng was almost numb under the weight. He tried moving a little, but Chen Ang didn’t wake. His face was buried in Xu Heng’s hair, his breath brushing against the strands. There really was always that faint scent of cologne on him, rising in the warmth under the…

- Chen Ang had planned to tease him a bit more, but Xu Heng’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen, and his whole expression changed. “I’m gonna take this call,” Xu Heng said, a little embarrassed. “If the food delivery comes, could you grab it?” Chen Ang nodded. He watched Xu Heng step into the bedroom, carefully closing the door behind him. The apartment was quiet. Chen Ang leaned back on the sofa and played with his phone. When Xu Heng had been rushing to put his books away…

- Chen Ang’s good mood didn’t last long. The weekend had arrived, and he had to go home for dinner. The Chen family home was in a villa area halfway up the mountain, a property Chen Zhengde had bought when he retired. By the time Chen Ang stepped through the door, Chen Jing had already arrived and was in the living room arguing with Zhou Cheng’an. Even their fights were cold and composed, like blades wrapped in silk, cutting back and forth. Chen Ang, worried about making things awkward, lingered in…

- The cold hit hard. Xu Heng blew his nose so many times his nostrils were sore. He stayed home to rest for a day. The next day he felt a little better and went to work in a loose-fitting khaki knit cardigan. The girls in the studio took turns coddling and comforting him. He was eager to learn and worked hard. He was always the last to leave after work, staying behind to help clean up and organize. Everyone at the studio liked him. Their makeup studio offered both makeup and photography services.…

- After that one meeting, He An never contacted Xu Heng again. Xu Heng felt a bit disappointed, but also slightly relieved. They came from two different worlds. Letting things end there was probably the best outcome. Even though He An's thoughtful and gentle manner often made Xu Heng forget the distance between them, he knew deep down that He An had always looked down on him a little. Not in a cruel or contemptuous way, but in a quiet, unconscious sort of way. Xu Heng was never someone He An saw as…

- The moment was a bit awkward. Xu Heng hesitated, unsure what to say. He and He An had once been friends with benefits. They met at a gay bar, and their arrangement had lasted about three or four months. Not exactly long, but not short either. They had ended things two months ago because He An was going abroad for further studies in art. It had been a peaceful parting. Xu Heng had even given He An a farewell gift, a painting he bought at an exhibition. It hadn’t come cheap. The truth was, Xu Heng…

- The bride glanced around and said to Chen Ang, “Not bad. Just wear that. I’ll go try the makeup.” Chen Ang caught a glimpse of Xu Heng from the corner of his eye, then turned and went back into the changing room. Xu Heng’s expression toward him had completely changed. It was as if he were looking at a modern-day Chen ShimeiChen Shimei is a figure from Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife to marry a princess after gaining power. His name is now synonymous with betrayal and heartless…
