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 9: This Isn’t Your Playground The Winter Abundance Festival’s buzz stretched into the night. Normally, once the sun dipped and eight p.m. hit, Pengge fell silent—streets empty, not a soul around. Tonight, though, the village’s biggest square thrummed with song and dance, clinking cups, and chatter. Low tables ringed a bonfire, laden with warming liquor, dried fruit, and sunflower seeds. Cenglu folks clustered in threes and fives—some talking, some drinking. “Here’s to Bai…-

Chapter 8: A Calm Heart Steadies the Hand With plenty of people still waiting behind me, I didn’t linger long and moved forward. Entry and exit were separate—front gate in, back door out. Beyond the exit stretched a winding path downhill, shaded by sprawling tree canopies. Morning frost clung to the branches in the winter chill, glinting like crystal under the sunlight, turning the trail into a shimmering ribbon. Sipping porridge, I strolled down slowly. Every few meters, a big trash bag sat…-

Chapter 7: Don’t Eat Here “Are you swapping all of these?” I scanned the courtyard, roughly counting—at least two dozen flowerpots stacked around. “I can’t swap that many alone. I’ll do half today, the rest tomorrow,” Mochuan said. His Yan Guan robes were striking but impractical for labor. He set the plastic pots aside, deftly slipped off both sleeves, and tied them at his waist, revealing a narrow-sleeved white shirt beneath. A natural clothes hanger—broad shoulders, cinched…-

Chapter 6: How Does He Know I’m Frivolous? If I’m frivolous, then there’s not a single decent person in this world. I turned, ready to confront Mochuan, when a pained whimper drifted in from outside. Moments later, a dark-skinned old woman, frail and supported by a young man and woman, shuffled into the hall. Mochuan shot to his feet, rounding the low table to meet them. “Pinjia! Pinjia!!” The old woman’s steps had been unsteady, but seeing Mochuan, she found some hidden strength.…-

Chapter 5: No One Is Worthy After dealing with the dog poop—scrubbing my hands front and back with soap, even digging into the nail crevices until my skin wrinkled and the tiny cuts on my palm turned pale—I shook them dry and trudged back to the front courtyard. Erqian was neatly tied to a pillar by the main hall, but Mochuan and the shattered flowerpot were nowhere in sight. Breaking something and just walking off didn’t sit right with me… I hesitated for a moment, then stepped into…-

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 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…-
