I stepped down into the forest near the village. The girl in my mouth grew bolder. Before setting her down, she looked at me with starlight-dusted eyes and stroked my nose gently. I felt like I was about to sneeze. I wished she would stop. The two boys stiffened. Even after the girl untied them, they clung to my legs like they were frozen solid, unable to move. The girl sighed and tapped their shoulders. The two drenched cats jumped up and ran behind a tree. While I was distracted by…- 171.8 K • Completed
- It was a night when sleep eluded me. I finally drifted off just before dawn. Then I had a dream I'd also had when I was very young. Strangely, once I had it, the dream would repeat for at least a few days. Come to think of it, there was a dragon in that one too. The content and atmosphere were almost like a horror movie, so as a child, I often woke up crying. At some point, I became a dry teenager and forgot about it. Now, it just felt strange. I wonder if that was a…

Jan held up both palms harmlessly and took a step back from Dennis, making a jest. “I won’t do anything improper today. More importantly, I’ve heard some interesting information.” “What is it?” “You had a meal ‘together’ with the students?” “There was no elegant service that brought meals all the way to my room.” “Oh… Mr. Kahler. Don’t be surprised. The faculty members use a different dining hall.” “Pardon?” “Most of the students are sensitive…- 102.4 K • Completed
- “Dennis Kahler.” Vittorio whispered Dennis’s name quietly. He wasn’t calling out to him. He was merely mumbling it inside his maw, as if chewing and swallowing Dennis’s name. Dennis, now completely off the bed, avoided Vittorio’s gaze. To mistake Eric for Vittorio… Eric, who was now deceased by Dennis’s hand, and Vittorio were different even in silhouette. It was hard to believe that a body as monstrously built as that could perform ballet. He was closer to a well-trained man of the…

Yan Mu looked at Jiang Zhihuo in silence. His voice was deep and low. Outside the window, hazy moonlight drifted into his eyes. "I want you to feel a little happier," Yan Mu said slowly, "but I don't know how." "So that's why you bit yourself?" Jiang Zhihuo pinched the indentation on his knuckle again. "It's just a habit when I'm thinking," Yan Mu said. "Then what did you come up with?" Jiang Zhihuo asked. Yan Mu shook his head and, with a backward motion, hooked Jiang Zhihuo's…- 369.8 K • Completed
- Not long after Jiang Zhihuo said this, that very evening, the Yun Xiaoxu scandal suddenly took a turn. After more than a day of silence, the company finally released a clarification statement, saying Yun Xiaoxu had never committed theft. They also sent a lawyer's letter to a marketing account that had named him directly and spread false claims just to chase clout. After that, they reposted a video. The couple in the video looked close to retirement. Their hair at the temples was lightly graying,…

- Yun Xiaoxu rushed out of the practice room, not even having time to wipe his face, a thin sheen of sweat clinging to his forehead. His agent was waiting outside. During the show's recording period, contestants are generally not allowed to meet their agents in person unless there is a special situation. The moment he saw Yun Xiaoxu, the agent shoved his phone in front of him and demanded sharply, "What's going on?" "Huh?" Yun Xiaoxu had no idea what had happened. He had been called out in such a…

Darkness, coldness, and emptiness. This was an unfinished basement. The floors and walls were merely coated with cement, supported by square pillars beneath a gray-black ceiling. A single small light bulb dangled from above. There were no windows in the walls, and the bulb was the only source of light—yet at this moment, the light was off, leaving the surroundings as silent as death. Creak— Without warning, the basement door was pushed open. Light from outside instantly flooded in through the…- 141.2 K • Completed
- May 20, 2033, Sunny (a poorly drawn heart is sketched here). The Lovers' Monument truly lives up to its reputation! She looks so beautiful holding the roses. From now on, I can only be the pampered husband hidden away in a golden house—what a sweet dilemma. July 10, 2033, Light Rain. My application to join the Senior Division has been approved, a process that took four months from start to finish. But I'm not happy with the outcome. Because she was so disappointed. She…

- March 7, 2032, Cloudy. Today, I met a very important person. My father. Counting the years, it's been fifteen since we last saw each other. When I was young and ignorant, I thought he never paid attention to my life. After leaving with my mother, I actually held some resentment toward him in my heart. But now that I'm working myself, I can finally understand him. I noticed his hair had turned much whiter, and his face had gained more wrinkles. He looked different from the tall,…
