After those words, the person in front of him seemed to sober up instantly. Zhao Jiyu didn’t speak for a long time. Shen Ran’s left hand remained against Zhao Jiyu’s chest, and through his palm, he could feel the restless beating beneath the surface. Despite his outward composure, Zhao Jiyu’s heart was racing. Behind his glasses, his gaze was locked onto Shen Ran, unwavering. Even when Shen Ran turned his head away, he could still feel that stare. Holding firm for a moment, Shen Ran…-

“You’ve been stepping out for a smoke all night. Something on your mind?” Huang Qianxu walked over to Zhao Jiyu and pulled out a cigarette pack from his pocket as well. Staring at the brightly lit Twin Towers in the distance, Zhao Jiyu took a couple of drags before responding,“It’s nothing.” He had been absent-minded the whole night. Even when chatting with Qiao Xu, he seemed perfunctory. Luckily, Qiao Xu was too focused on his drinking contest with Wei Qi to notice. The two childish…-

UI Chapter 54
On the morning of the school registration day, the campus was crowded everywhere. Compared to the freshmen who were stepping into university for the first time, seniors like them were much less noticeable. After completing the required registration procedures, Shen Ran received the key to his new dormitory. Zheng Mingjin helped him move his belongings and, after settling in, stayed to clean the dorm with him. None of his five new roommates had arrived yet. Shen Ran hadn’t had breakfast, so Zheng…-

Even on the way to the izakaya, Shen Ran still couldn’t swallow his anger. He had always known that people from Zhao Jiyu’s background wouldn’t have ordinary friends, but this was the first time he had felt the gap so clearly. Was it just because he came from a less privileged family that they assumed he was clinging to Zhao Jiyu? Or was it because of the rumors about Li Ting that he had become a joke—so now, whenever he interacted with another man, his intentions were automatically…-

Zhao Jiyu kept his word. That night, apart from holding him while they slept, he didn’t even kiss him. The last time they were out at sea, the situation had been similar, but Shen Ran’s emotions were at two extremes. Last time, he had been afraid of Zhao Jiyu making a move. This time, though, he couldn’t stop thinking about what Zhao Jiyu had said before they fell asleep. This person truly wanted to be with him. Zheng Mingjin’s words surfaced in his mind at the worst possible moment:…-

Ignoring the person behind him, Shen Ran broke free from his embrace and continued swimming forward. By the time they reached the side of the yacht, Old Wu had already heard the commotion and came out. He lowered the rope ladder and pulled them up. Shen Ran climbed aboard first, and by the time Zhao Jiyu stepped onto the deck, Shen Ran was nowhere to be seen. As Old Wu put away the rope ladder, he noticed Zhao Jiyu pulling off his swim cap, his expression not looking great. He asked,“You two…-

UI Chapter 50
Shen Ran was still lying on the sofa when Zhao Jiyu kissed him. Even if he wanted to push him away, the angle made it impossible to use any real force—unless he was willing to completely throw him off without restraint. Zhao Jiyu’s kiss seemed gentle on the surface, but his tongue had already slipped inside, giving Shen Ran no space to breathe. His eyes quickly became misty from the intensity of the kiss. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed one of Zhao Jiyu’s legs still planted on the floor.…-

While Zhao Jiyu was looking down at the menu, Zheng Mingjin messaged Shen Ran on WeChat: Shen Ran glanced up at Zheng Mingjin, feeling guilty. He knew he hadn't handled things well today. Since Zheng Mingjin hadn’t replied to his earlier message, he should have anticipated this. But at the same time, he found himself unable to refuse Zhao Jiyu, especially after he agreed—Zhao Jiyu had been in a noticeably good mood, even with his sunglasses on. Shen Ran didn’t reply. After a…-

After leaving the mall, Shen Ran stopped by a small street-side eatery and had a bowl of satay noodles. He had initially planned to go to the same bar to wait for Zheng Mingjin, but remembering that the singing girl there had given him that photo, he decided against it and chose another place instead. By the time Zheng Mingjin arrived, Shen Ran was idly scrolling through his phone, three empty beer bottles in front of him from the half-dozen he had ordered. Neither of them was there to drink tonight.…-

UI CH 47
Shen Ran didn’t even know how he had walked out of Ji Minglun’s home. He hadn’t even greeted Jiang Lin, nor had he taken the materials he came for. After stepping out of the residential complex, he first bought a bottle of ice water, then stopped by a pharmacy to buy large band-aids to cover the bite mark. The bathroom mirror was wide and bright, making his complexion look even worse. He had really been too careless this time—forgetting about the marks Zhao Jiyu had left on him the previous…-
