Chapter 9: A Chance Encounter at the Bar All the buildings at the Linjiang complex were one apartment per floor. That day, Shen Hechuan had just casually brushed off Wu Huilan’s question without giving it much thought. He didn’t expect it to backfire so soon—and for her to even spot the little bear slippers that Qiao Le had worn. Thinking back to how Qiao Le had mentioned wanting to buy a matching pair, Shen Hechuan thought that if he’d known this would happen, he might as well have just…- 182.5 K • Completed
It was a quiet but flawless room. Even though this was the royal palace, it was remarkably still. Fitting for a place where secret envoys stayed in secret. All three members of the hero’s party were gathered here, along with one extra piece of baggage—me. “Hi.” As soon as he saw me, Paronai greeted me with a strangely flushed face. I raised one eyebrow in response, but didn’t answer. Banwes had not come of his own will. I’d practically dragged him here. He was wearing a plain black…- 183.7 K • Completed
“Ahem, come this way.” geowong beckoned to Hakyung, who was looking around like a student on a field trip. Hakyung quickly moved his feet toward the man calling him. “You can use any room here.” “Sorry?” “They’re all empty, so pick whichever you like.” At his words, Hakyung tilted his head in confusion. This was supposed to be a staff dormitory… but they were all empty? Why build such a fancy place if no one was using it? “What about the other employees’…- 210.6 K • Completed
- Chapter 8 – All Alone Yang Mu stared between Qiao Man and Qiao Le, clearly stunned—especially when he realized they really did look a bit alike. But Qiao Le looked so young. How could he possibly have such a big son? Still clinging to a bit of hope, Yang Mu asked Qiao Man, “Little one, who are you calling daddy?” Yang Mu had only started coming to the bar last month. At the time, Qiao Man had still been staying with their aunt in the countryside, so Yang Mu had never met him and…

- Everyone looked busy getting ready to depart. What was surprising was that it wasn’t noisy or chaotic. Everyone was performing their assigned tasks skillfully and efficiently. It might seem trivial, but it was in these small details that the discipline of a group revealed itself. ‘Knights, soldiers… Looks like there are porters and servants too.’ The size of the hunting party was quite large. There were so many different roles that Aeryl couldn’t grasp it all just by standing in one…

- Zhou Shurong’s heart would never beat again. But right now, there was a solution. Qin Yan had been inexplicably excited all day, overwhelmed with emotion, but the hours dragged on unbearably, and deep down, he was anxious. What if that person was a liar? A fool? A madman? Cursing an old man who might have just gone blind felt like a blow to the conscience. But… if you told anyone that the dead could return, wouldn’t they call it a fantasy? What’s more, the price wasn’t…

- The doctor, after closing the door, offered a seat to Dojin. As Dojin sat down on the sofa, he spoke.“What’s this about?”“Normally, we’d speak to the patient’s guardian, but since Seo Jiho has no listed guardian…”“Is there a problem?”“Rather than a problem…”What the doctor said next was unexpected.“It’s about Seo Jiho’s speech impairment.”“Yes?”“According to the tests, there’s nothing physically wrong with his speech functions. He’s able to produce sound, and…

9. So-Called Heartbreak The owner of Drunken Immortal Shade had died. Bai Yuanxiu hadn’t meant to get involved. After all, this area was riddled with factions and tangled allegiances. As the Demonic Secr protector posing as a righteous man, it was a minefield—no matter who he sided with, he’d be in trouble. He had just turned to leave when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Qing standing under the eaves not far away, waving him over. It was a fabric shop. Only when Bai Yuanxiu…- 80.2 K • Completed
- “Sharing a room with someone… seriously?” I grumbled loudly, making sure the man who had just walked in could hear me. “This wasn’t how it was where I used to live.” I phrased it like a complaint on purpose, and well, it wasn’t a lie. Back at the Order, I’d never shared a room with anyone. Who would willingly sleep next to someone from that filthy, damp underground anyway? The beds were split with a small nightstand in the middle—mine was the left one by the door,…

- Chapter 7: The 8,000-Yuan Slippers To Qiao Le, even friends should return kindness with kindness—let alone someone he wasn’t even close to. He could accept the offer to share the pizza, but not enjoy it guilt-free. Shen Hechuan seemed to pick up on that and didn’t argue. He walked to the coffee table, brought out his phone, and pulled up a payment code. “Just half is fine. I had some too.” Qiao Le quickly transferred the money. “Done.” The food was delivered, the meal was eaten,…
