If he had arrived at night and seen them for the first time, he might have mistaken them for something out of a fairy tale—like the trees had turned into wicked witches. No—maybe it was the other way around. Perhaps creatures like that were invented because of trees like these. Beyond the wooden fence, it was dark. The depth of the shadows between the trees was impossible to gauge. A chilly feeling crept through him, making his stomach churn. ‘What is this… feeling?’ Aeryl licked his dry…-

Chapter 10 — I’m Not Like Those People! This was the third time Qiao Le had run into Shen Hechuan. Only three days had passed since their last encounter, and each time had been while Qiao Le was working. Once again, he couldn’t help but marvel at how strange fate could be. The last two times they’d met, Shen Hechuan had helped him. Under other circumstances, Qiao Le would’ve greeted him, but seeing he was with other friends now, he let it slide. The booths at the bar were tiered in…-

Qin Yan hadn’t eaten, hadn’t drunk anything. He simply kept his eyes glued to the clock on the wall. Half an hour remained until midnight. Only one lamp in the room was lit, casting a yellow glow. Suddenly, a knock came at the door, followed by a voice: “Your food delivery’s here!” Qin Yan blinked. After staring at the dim wall for so long, his eyes had gone fuzzy.

Dojin, who had seated Jiho in front of the vanity placed in one corner of the dressing room, took out a hairdryer. Soon, a small scuffle broke out between Jiho, who said he could dry his hair by himself, and Dojin, who insisted on drying it for him. This time, however, Dojin had the upper hand. “I’ll be faster if I do it for you.” Drops of water from Jiho’s hair fell onto his shoulders. Adding that if he caught a cold, he would have to go to the hospital, Jiho quieted down. It seemed…-

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.

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…-

“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’…-
