            <description><![CDATA[Shen Mo was drunk. It was February 4th, the beginning of spring, and also Ji Mingxuan’s birthday. Since they had reunited on S Island, Ji Mingxuan arranged time off this year to revisit the place with Shen Mo. This time, they stayed in a sea-view villa with a private pool. Sunshine, beach, coastline, candlelit dinner… everything was perfect. The only thing Ji Mingxuan had…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[On Valentine’s Day, the gift Shen Mo received was a single rose. A red rose just beginning to bloom, with dewdrops still clinging to its petals. Someone had quietly placed it beside his pillow. Shen Mo saw it the moment he opened his eyes that morning. Though he had no particular fondness for a plant’s reproductive organ, receiving a gift on this day still…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[A ring sat on the table. A plain silver band, unadorned and without any engraving. Ji Mingxuan had asked his secretary to buy it and send it over at the last minute. Shen Mo hesitated, unsure whether he should put it on. He had performed terribly in bed last night, tense and unresponsive like a dead fish. After it ended, Ji Mingxuan left the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[There was a photo tucked inside the wallet. The person in the picture still looked like a student. His bangs were cut very short, revealing a smooth forehead and bright eyes. His lips were lightly pressed together, giving him a rather serious expression. Shen Mo remembered it well. This was the photo he took back in college, the one he used for job applications.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[It was a photo for official documents. The person in the photo looked like a student. His lips were pressed lightly together, his eyes fixed seriously on the camera, expression focused even in such a simple shot. His appearance wasn’t especially striking, but his eyes were unusually dark. Hidden beneath a slightly long fringe, they seemed to dim the deep black backdrop behind him.…]]></description>

His gaze was dark and unreadable as he looked at Shen Mo and asked, “Why did you bring me here?” “Have you forgotten?” Shen Mo replied. “Even though you asked Lawyer Chen to take back this property in Jinxiu Villas, I never agreed…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Yang Yue’s expression had gone far beyond surprise. She stepped closer and stared at Shen Mo. “Boss, I remember you’re single, right?” Shen Mo gave a vague reply. “I used to be.” That one sentence was more than enough for the girl’s imagination to take off. “Oh my god, Boss, are you getting married? Or are you already married? Was it love at first…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Shen Mo stayed on the island for a few more days. He only booked his return flight once he felt he had fully enjoyed his time there. Ji Mingxuan had been working overseas these past few years, and his entire career had shifted abroad. It wasn’t so easy for him to return just like that, so he didn’t travel back with Shen Mo.

Shen Mo stood by the door for a while before crawling back into bed wrapped in the blanket. He had barely slept the night before, so this nap was deep and dreamless. When…]]></description>

Shen Mo was beginning to understand Ji Mingxuan more and more. He knew that Ji might not admit to many things, even if he did them, so Shen Mo could only choose to love him a little more boldly…]]></description>

After a few deep thrusts, he came hard inside him. Shen Mo trembled, his whole body shaking from the aftershocks. Still caught in the lingering waves of pleasure, his body was overly sensitive, and his…]]></description>

But now, in this moment, every misunderstanding, every disguise, every trace of doubt had melted away. Only one truth remained. He loved him. There was no denying it. Shen Mo leaned forward. With a slight lift of his head, he kissed the corner of Ji Mingxuan’s mouth. It was…]]></description>

That rainy night seven years ago, Ji Mingxuan had placed his heart in Shen Mo’s hands, but it had never been returned. Now that everything had changed, Shen Mo only wanted Ji Mingxuan to see where…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[His fingers throbbed with a sharp, piercing pain. Shen Mo couldn’t endure it. The pain dragged him out of unconsciousness. He opened his eyes in a daze and was greeted by a world of stark whiteness. White walls, white sheets, white bandages. He stared blankly for a while before realizing he was in a hospital. The memories from before he lost consciousness came rushing…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Jinxiu Villa… Shen Mo had heard it mentioned a few times before. The first time was from Zhao Yi, who had mistaken him for someone living in Jinxiu Villa. The second was from Old Wang, the driver, who once said that Ji Mingxuan had drunkenly insisted on going to Jinxiu Villa. It wasn’t hard to guess. That house must have been where Ji Mingxuan…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Half a month later, Shen Mo met with Ji Mingxuan’s lawyer. Back at the hospital, when Ji Mingxuan said those words to him, Shen Mo had already expected this day would come. Whether what Ji Mingxuan said was true or not, the fact that he said it meant there was no going forward for the two of them. What Shen Mo hadn’t expected was…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Shen Mo had vaguely guessed something before, but hearing Ji Mingxuan say it out loud made him understand why Ji spoiled Ji An&#8217;an so much. He had lost his mother at a young age, and his only sister had always been frail and sickly. Naturally, all his tenderness was poured into her.
