When Meng Chuan pushed the door open, the call on Wen Zhongyi’s phone hadn’t ended yet. With his long legs, he stepped around the tables and chairs, walked straight to Wen Zhongyi’s side, locked eyes with him first, then cast a blank glance at Jiang Ye sitting across the table. Jiang Ye set down his chopsticks and looked at him with a faint, amused smile. Meng Chuan found his face familiar at first glance but couldn’t recall where he’d seen him, so he ignored him and looked down at Wen…- 144.9 K • Completed
- The ointment was a little cool. Wen Zhongyi first applied a thin layer to his back, then dampened a piece of gauze and carefully pressed it against Meng Chuan’s skin. With his back turned, Meng Chuan could only feel Wen Zhongyi’s fingers moving across his skin. His fingertips were calloused, and every touch brought a faint itch. “All done,” Wen Zhongyi straightened and told him. “Stay like that for a bit and let it dry.” “Okay,” Meng Chuan obediently stayed in position, not moving…

- For a moment, Meng Chuan thought Wen Zhongyi had seen right through what he’d just been thinking. His heart started to race, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly. But though he was flustered inside, his face stayed calm. “Nothing, I just wanted to tell you there’s something on the corner of your mouth.” Wen Zhongyi lifted a hand and wiped the corner of his mouth. His knuckles came back slightly damp. He raised his chin slightly and asked, “Now?” Meng Chuan’s eyes dropped to his lips…

- By the time the police arrived, Meng Chuan had already gotten up from the ground and hauled the half-conscious men into a line against the wall, ordering them to squat down with their hands over their heads. The officers paused in surprise at the sight, then chuckled. “Well, they’re pretty cooperative.” The police car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the red and blue lights reflected off Wen Zhongyi’s face. Meng Chuan looked over and finally noticed how pale he looked. “You…

- In the week that followed, Wen Zhongyi didn’t see Meng Chuan again. Yang Jiaran managed to get Wen Zhongyi a student ID, saying he bought it from a senior who was on leave from school. With the ID, Wen Zhongyi could now freely enter and exit the university and sit in on architecture lectures. Compared to the dry text in books, the professors’ explanations were far more vivid and engaging. Wen Zhongyi was always the most attentive person in class. Yang Jiaran admired this deeply. He had only…

- When it was time for dinner, Ji Fan showed up too. The Ji family’s driver dropped him off at the door. Ji Fan tossed his schoolbag off his shoulder and let it fall to the floor. His school uniform had some dust on it, and he wore a sour expression, like a little lion barely holding back its temper. “What’s with the face?” Ji Shu said with a laugh. “Got in a fight and lost?” “I didn’t lose,” Ji Fan huffed. Meng Chuan ruffled Ji Fan’s bristling hair and chuckled at how funny…

- Yang Jiaran showed up carrying two big bags of snacks. Wen Zhongyi looked a little surprised and asked, “Why’d you buy so much?” “You promised to attend the lecture for me, and I said I’d treat you to a big meal. But you keep dodging dinner, so I had to bring it to you instead.” He’d bought all kinds of things, mostly sweets. The two of them had known each other for a while now, and Yang Jiaran had already figured out Wen Zhongyi’s taste. Wen Zhongyi poured him a glass of water,…

- Meng Chuan fiddled with the gas stove for a long time, only to fail in the end. Wen Zhongyi stood beside him, nibbling on a chestnut pastry, and said blandly, “I told you to call a repairman.” Meng Chuan took a deep breath and, refusing to admit defeat, said, “The stove’s just poor quality. I’ll get you a new one tomorrow.” “Suit yourself,” Wen Zhongyi replied indifferently. Ten minutes later, a repairman arrived and quickly resolved the issue. The stove lit successfully. The…

- The twenty students, with dark circles under their eyes from a sleepless night, stood before the battle arena of the Zhuzhao Spiritbond Academy, accompanied by their newly bonded spirit beasts, still unfamiliar to them. They were supposed to be attentively listening to the teachings of the luminaries of the Spiritbond World in the auditorium, eagerly awaiting the presentation of their Spiritbond Master certificates by the academy leaders, filled with hope for the future. Instead, they found themselves…
