Xiao Mingxuan stared at him, unable to believe what he was seeing. The plan had been for him to seize most of the goods, gain leverage in the negotiation, and push for the deal to happen that day. Then, hit them with a surprise attack. Meanwhile, the main force would arrive, wipe everyone out, and take both people and goods in one sweep. In other words, his identity was never supposed to be exposed. The team arranged in secret had been ordered to pose as mercenaries. If anything went wrong, they…- 185.4 K • Completed
- Song Feng was a strange one. That wasn’t how he saw himself, but it was the conclusion most people came to after dealing with him. The reactions to that statement usually fell into two types. One was silence, followed by a bitter, “You’re not just laughing at my misery, are you?” That meant he had just been wrecked by one of his own teammates. The other was a bright laugh and a casual, “Thanks for the compliment.” That meant he was enjoying life at the moment. Song Feng worked for a…

The weather was kind, and the second day dawned bright and clear. A seaside vacation was all about leisure and comfort, so there wasn't a tight schedule this time; most of the day was left open for free activities. Li Tang had gone to bed late the previous night, and when he woke up, it was already high noon. Checking his phone, he saw a message from Jiang Lou two hours ago asking if he was awake yet. Li Tang hesitated for a moment before replying, "Just woke up." Putting down his phone, he got…- 197.1 K • Completed
- The pounding of his heart drummed against his eardrums, the entire world seemed to be roaring and shaking. Li Tang wanted to run, but Jiang Lou had blocked the path tightly. When he looked up, he could see the left ear where the hearing aid was removed. If he slightly turned, the tattoo behind the ear was clearly visible. It seemed there was no escape, no matter which dimension he looked at it from. He wasn’t sure if it was due to being soaked in seawater, but there was a faint tingling near his…

- The two entered the bookstore and headed for the third shop on the left side. An ordinary chain fast-food joint, unlike the high-end restaurants filled with lovebirds, it had an air of wholesome family fun with everyone packed in the hall. This made it far from an ideal setting for conversation. From ordering their meals to sitting down to eat, they exchanged fewer than ten words—Do you want a drink? Yes, medium. Halfway through the fries, the family at the adjacent table left, the child's…

- Before leaving work, Li Tang received his second bouquet of flowers today. The Dianthus flowers, arranged in champagne and white, presented a fresh and warm style. His colleagues weren’t as excited as they were when they saw the red roses that morning, but they still teased him for quite some time, exclaiming how fortunate Li Tang was with women, and speculating that they would see the boss’s significant other at next month’s vacation team-building event. Li Tang neither confirmed nor denied…

- The reason he hadn’t waited for seven years ago, the three words he couldn’t obtain, poured into his ears unexpectedly after seven years, immobilizing Li Tang as if under a spell, leaving him motionless for a moment. Jiang Lou thought he had frightened him and propped himself up to look at him, but Li Tang suddenly shifted from stillness to motion, pulling the covers over his face. "…Don't look at me." Jiang Lou retracted his hand that hung in midair, feeling a mix of tension and an absurd urge…

- Li Tang, of course, remembered his words from before. "In the future, you're not allowed to bring up breaking up; only I can do that." But at that time, he thought he wouldn't survive, after all, once humans stopped breathing, their romantic relationships would automatically dissolve. What was awkward was that every attempted suicide seemed to end up being questioned, labeled with the tag "didn't really want to die." Li Tang didn't know how to explain it himself, after all, disregarding the…

- The annual gathering featured a variety of programs—General Affairs Department's crazily off-key group singing, Marketing Department's uneven fashion show, Research Department's forgetful crosstalk, Risk Control Department's grotesque dance… In short, the quality was virtually nonexistent, yet the effect was surprisingly good, with laughter never ceasing throughout the event. In the end, Li Tang was pulled on stage, a microphone thrust into his hand, and he reluctantly sang a song. He sang…

- The misty night had silently passed. When Li Tang woke up and met Jiang Lou's eyes, he silently averted his gaze. Last night, when he got up to use the restroom, Jiang Lou also got up, circling around to the other side of the hospital bed. Li Tang said he was going to the washroom, so Jiang Lou helped him there. "I can walk on my own," Li Tang had said at the time. Jiang Lou didn't say anything, but the hand that supported Li Tang's arm didn't loosen its grip. Fortunately, he only accompanied…
