On Saturday night, before Jian Tang arrived for her shift, Feng Ning was sprawled lifelessly across the counter. After resting for a while, the delivery worker brought the containers to the shop entrance. Feng Ning was called over to check the inventory. She skillfully sorted the beverages – spirits, aperitifs, dessert wines, fruit wines, and…

Jiang Wen returned to the dorm. The main lights were off, with only two desk lamps still on. He lifted the magazine carelessly tossed by Zhao Binlin and sat down in his chair. Zhao Binlin rolled over in bed, poking his head down to whisper, “Xi Gaoyuan went to watch the Avengers premiere with his…

In this hot weather, Feng Ning had been eavesdropping for less than ten minutes when she got four or five mosquito bites on her legs. This must be karma for being nosy. The bites were unbearably itchy, and she couldn’t stay still, so she quietly snuck away. She carefully counted the colored tiles beneath her…

Someone once asked her how she would respond. “Then that’s just your bad luck,” that’s what Feng Ning had said. But now, Jiang Wen sat there with a band-aid that Feng Ning personally bought stuck above his brow bone. It was cartoon-themed, pink and blue, with an innocent little elephant wearing a white daisy.

The blonde thug struggled to get up from the ground, and without a word, they instantly became entangled in a fight. Duan Yuwei’s hair stood on end from fear. She screamed twice and quickly cleared the area. The scene spiraled out of control within minutes, leaving Feng Ning momentarily speechless. As expected, the heroic rescue…

The East Street night market finally wound down past 3 AM. The whole street was nearly empty as the food stalls began closing one after another. After having a quick bite, some people at their table were drinking and playing finger-guessing games, getting more energetic as they ate. Meng Hanmo checked the time and said…

“Who do I like?” Jiang Wen’s eyes were half-closed, his gaze still unfocused, drifting elsewhere as he gave a slight nod. Feng Ning giggled mischievously and asked in return, “Then who do you like?” “Who do you like?” He insisted on her answer. “Me?” Feng Ning said with a smile, speaking unhurriedly, “I like the…

Several people made plans to visit a horse ranch, departing early Saturday morning. Located in the suburbs, it was a private ranch. It operated on a membership basis, not open to the public. Members could freely enjoy both track riding and trail riding. Jiang Wen leaned over the second-floor railing to gaze for a while…

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Zhao Binlin and Xi Gaoyuan exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised and mostly confused. Ji Chiyang was stunned and quite embarrassed. He gave a look to the person beside him, “What’s going on?” That person mouthed back, “I don’t know either.” He had known Jiang Wen since middle school and…
