Bu Nian stood at the center of the dim chamber with his hands clasped behind his back, dressed in dark robes. His eyes were lowered. No one knew how long he had been waiting. Before long, the hidden mechanism clicked into motion. A concealed door slowly opened, and a figure clad in night gear stepped through. The man was about the same height as Bu Nian, his face wrapped in black cloth. When he saw Bu Nian already waiting inside, he walked quickly toward him and pulled the mask down, revealing a…- 157.9 K • Completed
The office was empty. Norton froze for a moment before spinning around to yell at Berrick. "Why aren’t you out there searching for him already?!" "Searching for who?" a clear voice asked from nearby. Norton turned to see Mo Zimu standing in the corner. He scanned him up and down and demanded, "Where were you just now?" "I… just went to the restroom," Mo Zimu replied, holding up slightly damp hands. Norton’s expression softened slightly. "What’s your business here?" Mo Zimu glanced at…- 117.3 K • Completed
To confirm that tattoo once and for all, Mu Yuan made a trip back to the old district that afternoon. This was the place he’d lived with his second uncle before turning sixteen. After the man left, the house had been sealed up. Over the years, Mu Yuan hadn’t come back more than ten times. He was afraid of the memories tied to it, afraid of digging up feelings better left buried. The place was thick with dust. Every step he took left a clear shoeprint on the floor behind him. His second…- 147.2 K • Completed
The next day, during his lunch break, Yang Moshou went to the flower shop near the hospital. There actually weren’t many flower shops by the hospital. Most of them sold funeral wreaths. After all, when someone passed away, the family didn’t have to go far. They could just buy them at the hospital entrance. That’s why the wreath and burial clothing shops nearby were always doing well. Yang Moshou dialed Xu Wanhe’s number. But the one who picked up wasn’t Xu Wanhe himself. It was one of…- 71.4 K • Completed
- In the end, Zuo Lingyu’s whereabouts did not escape his sister’s notice. Within a few days, he was summoned to the Prince Regent’s estate. When he returned, he looked rather dejected and said he would be moving there. He could no longer live with Lian Ai. Lian Ai didn’t mind. He simply said, “Then go.” Zuo Lingyu glanced up at him. “Do you want to come with me?” Lian Ai shook his head without hesitation. “Better not. There must be a lot of rules in the estate. I’d only…

- 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…

- 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,…

- 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…
