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 4: Civilized Dog Ownership—You, Me, and Everyone “Get up, Bai Yin! The sun’s already baking your butt!” I pried my eyes open from a groggy sleep, greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling. The curtains at the research institute were thin, barely blocking the light. Sunlight streamed in, stabbing my eyes with a dull ache. “It’s nine already—how long are you planning to sleep? The breakfast I saved for you’s gone cold!” Yan Chuwen’s voice rang out relentlessly from outside, louder…-

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…-

Chapter 36: Gone Is Gone The day after Mochuan returned to Cuoyansong, he sent me a new contact’s info. It was Xiong Mingjie, head of the General Affairs Section at Cuoyansong Prefecture’s Rural Revitalization Bureau. A bit older than me, in his thirties, he was sharp, capable, and easy to work with. We’d occasionally mention Mochuan. Though a Xia person like me, Xiong Mingjie’s admiration for him rivaled any Cenglu’s. “Thanks to Pinjia, Cuoyansong’s been getting better and better.…-

Chapter 35: Words Meant to Curse You The corners of Mochuan’s lips slowly dropped, as if he’d been frozen in place. For a few seconds, he showed no reaction at all—and it was precisely this lack of reaction that convinced me he’d understood my meaning. Between us, many things didn’t need words. Couldn’t be put into words. He stared straight at me. “…Friends?” The bitterness lingered in my mouth, unyielding. It felt like the herbal brew had a mind of its own, snaking through my…-

Chapter 34: Sweet Enough to Get Addicted In the end, I only told Aunt Wan about Jiang Xuehan’s death. On the phone, she sobbed so hard she could barely breathe, cursing heaven’s injustice, Bai Qifeng’s heartlessness, and my mom for being so blind—giving up a vibrant life for a scumbag. At first, I considered notifying Bai Qifeng, but after hearing Aunt Wan’s tirade, I figured his conscience wouldn’t even flinch for my mom. So I didn’t bother. Maybe it was the chill I caught in the…-

Chapter 33: Thankfully, It Never Started “Isn’t this high-end jewelry?” Mochuan lowered his head to examine the necklace model around his neck, his voice tinged with confusion. “Isn’t it expensive?” “Not expensive, just… a few thousand,” I said, afraid that if I claimed it was pricier, he’d refuse it. I didn’t even dare stretch the lie into five figures. But it seemed even a few thousand was steep for this Cenglu Yan Guan—or perhaps he simply didn’t buy that it could cost…-
