A few days later, at the parking lot of Longxing Building, just as Qian Ying arrived at his designated parking spot, a sudden honking sound came from his left. He turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw the window of a black Mulsanne, about ten meters away, slowly rolling down. Ruan Chengjie waved at him from inside the car, while two bodyguards quickly stepped forward in a clear protective stance. Qian Ying casually raised a hand, and the bodyguards obediently stepped back. He walked…- 208.3 K • Completed
On that night, Li Tang lay on his back on the bed, running his fingers over the fresh bandage wrapped around his wrist. Recalling the events that had occurred just hours ago, Li Tang couldn’t help but wonder, did he often get hurt? Otherwise, why would he carry bandages with him and apply them so skillfully? His fingers delved between the bandage and skin, lightly pressing at first. A faint pain emerged. Then, applying more force, he pinched with two fingers, causing a greater wave of pain to…- 197.1 K • Completed
- 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…

- 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…
