When the doorbell rang, Lu Jiaheng was surveying the house to find potential sleeping spots. Though the bedrooms were fully renovated, they lacked pillows, blankets, and sheets—sleeping there meant lying on bare wooden boards. When Lu Jiaheng had followed Chu Zhi back, he hadn’t considered these details at all. He’d assumed the house would be…

Chu Zhi didn’t go back to school and planned to head straight home. During her days away, she hadn’t felt much, but now seeing the familiar scenery through the car window, exhaustion suddenly hit her. All she wanted was to take a good shower and roll around in her big bed. Since it was on…

Chu Zhi turned her head, and suddenly their faces were directly opposite each other. The distance was so close that she could even see her own reflection in his dark eyes. The young girl froze for a moment, blinked, then blinked again, staring at him carefully for a few seconds before suddenly saying, “Senior, your…

Over the next two hours, Chu Zhi told him three more stories. She was perfect for storytelling – her pace wasn’t too fast or slow, her voice was soft and pleasant, and she had her own unique way of speaking. At the end of each story, she would always conclude with some peculiar life lessons.…

To reach Cangyan Mountain, they needed to take a high-speed train and then transfer to a bus. The train ride would take over an hour. When Chu Zhi and her friends bought tickets, it was already late and only business class seats were left. Lu Jiaheng’s ticket seemed to have been bought by a friend,…

Lin Tong was following behind, eating a chocolate stick while texting, when she heard that sound and froze completely. Chu Zhi was also stunned. She had been close enough to hear the child’s call of “mama,” and had just started to feel relieved when the woman suddenly stood up and began making a scene, almost…

A few crystal grapes were encased in light green transparent jelly. When fingers touched the plastic wrap, the jelly inside would wiggle. The little boy simply stuffed it into her arms. Before Chu Zhi could react, he had already run off with his pattering steps. Chu Zhi held the jelly, blinked, and looked at Lin…

After a painful and heartfelt questioning of their club president, the Octopus finally calmed down, clutching his chest dramatically. His “Ci Lang” was utterly merciless, deflecting all his questions without hesitation, smiling like a sunflower—fresh, bright, and adorable—while delivering ruthless responses. The Octopus, acting like a heartbroken girl betrayed by her lover, covered his face…
