Chapter 46: Buddha and Demon Are One, Shaped Only by the Mind Solan has two sons, both twenty-four or twenty-five, raised tight with Kun Hongtu—thick as thieves. But that bond cracked when we teamed up for Fight the Landlord. Facing a pair of 4s, Big Cousin passed. Kun Hongtu shot his teammate a baffled glare, yanked a pair of 8s from his hand in a rush. Second Cousin frowned, swapped cards back and forth, finally played a cautious pair of 10s. I sat by Mochuan, quiet, letting him play his…-

Chapter 45: I’m Here to Corrupt Him Breakfast was simple: a bowl of porridge, a griddle cake, a boiled egg. I sipped porridge with one hand, held the cake with the other, sneaking glances at Mochuan’s face. He peeled his egg with care, oblivious to my staring. Are we… together now? “When do we head back?” I swallowed my bite, breaking the quiet. The egg might’ve been undercooked—shells tricky to peel. Mochuan worked at it bit by bit, piling white flecks on the table. “Not…-

Chapter 44: Gonna Say You Forgot Again? “That minority guy—acts all high and mighty, pisses me off just looking at him.” I was about to push open the bathroom stall door when voices hit—froze me solid. “You’re just mad ‘cause Wu Yan’s into him, calls him hot, huh? Haha. But I hear he’s set to be some Yan Guan—can’t marry, can’t have kids. Wu Yan’s got no shot, relax.” “Whoosh!” Water gushed—someone cranked the faucet outside. “Plenty of phonies out…-

Chapter 43: The Mountain Lord Won’t Blame You The main group marched ahead; Kun Hongtu and I trailed behind. He told me this vineyard’s his aunt’s—she runs it, and he works here daily. “My aunt, like the rest of the village, started growing grapes a few years back—government push. Seedlings are imported, grafted onto local vines.” He pointed left, shoulder-high plant. “This one’s Cabernet Sauvignon.” Then right. “This, Merlot.” He beamed like he was showing off two…-

Chapter 42: He Doesn’t Believe Me No wonder justice shines bright while darkness cloaks evil. Dim light really does loosen morals, letting modern civility slip away easy. Like now. Forget seven years ago—seven days ago, I wouldn’t have pictured myself pulling this. Mochuan didn’t dare move. “Bai Yin, let go first.” “But I’m scared.” Stalemate. Neither of us spoke for a bit. Then Mochuan broke. “Fine, don’t hug my waist—it’s hard to walk.” Reluctant, but…-

Chapter 41: I’m Afraid of the Dark Maybe scared we’d come after him, Black Wind hadn’t shown his face since I got hospitalized. Sun Manman said he even blocked her—pissed her off to no end. By day five in the hospital, May Day was over, and Liang Mu got discharged. The two girls didn’t want to leave at first, insisting they’d wait for me to head back to Haicheng together. I told them I wasn’t going back—post-discharge, I’d crash at Yan Chuwen’s to recover, maybe a month or two.…-

Chapter 40: One Day, They’ll All Be Mine Back in sophomore year, Teacher Liu from our wilderness survival class dragged us out for camping trips more than once—hands-on stuff. His team lists seemed locked in after the first outing, and somehow Mochuan and I got stuck in the same batch, even the same tent. It was late fall, near winter break—our last field practice, I think. December in Beishi meant indoor heating, but outside, temps could dip to minus five Celsius. At night, we huddled…-

Chapter 39: I’m Fine Too “…Bro… Bro?” I snapped back, looking up at Sun Manman ahead of me, forcing a smile. “What’s up?” She frowned lightly, concern all over her face. “Bro, are you getting altitude sickness? You’ve seemed weighed down all day.” Are all psych majors this sharp? I sighed inwardly. “Nah, just drank too much yesterday—head’s pounding a bit.” Her frown deepened. “See? I told you to go easy.” After fleeing the temple in a panic last…-

Chapter 38: I Am Pinjia “Can’t we follow them to Pengge and check it out?” Back in the car, Sun Manman and Liang Mu were still buzzing. The driver hesitated. “We could, but it’s not toward Waxiao, where you booked. If I drop you there, I’ve gotta head back—got other rides lined up, can’t wait around.” The girls wavered. “Well…” I glanced at the rearview mirror. The dust trail was settling, the black procession shrinking in the distance—soon it’d…-

Chapter 37: I Don’t Hate Women, I Just Hate Stupidity Huangfu Rou took most of the studio staff with her. Over the years, she’d been the better leader—everyone picking her didn’t surprise me one bit. What did surprise me was that Vivian, our sales head, stayed. With a dozen roles to refill and all the stuff Huangfu Rou used to handle now on me, I returned to Haicheng and drowned in chaos, glued to the studio day in, day out. Pushing open the stairwell’s fire door, I’d been cooped up…-
