A week ago, their previously quiet university class group chat suddenly became active again. Someone had started reminiscing, which led to a suggestion: “We haven’t seen each other in so long, why don’t we meet up at our alma mater?” This suggestion immediately received an overwhelming response. Everyone was enthusiastic, raising both hands and feet…

The younger generation of the Yan family had strong personalities even before reaching adulthood. After becoming adults, they focused on their careers and ambitions, dodging their mother’s concerns about their love lives. They stubbornly ignored her wishes, letting her words go in one ear and out the other. Watching them reach their thirties while still…

All temporary provocative impulses should not be taken lightly. While waiting for Chen Jinyao to finish work, Yan Cheng lounged lazily on a nearby sofa, legs crossed, lips curved in a slight smile. The atmosphere was peaceful and serene. Unable to bear the silence, he occasionally glanced up to steal looks at Chen Jinyao, who…

After sending the message to Yan Cheng, Chen Jinyao suddenly slumped her shoulders. She had worked with tense nerves without much lunch rest, and when that tension finally relaxed, the aftereffects gradually appeared quite noticeably.

The night was deep. After opening their hearts, it was the perfect time for matters of intimacy. Yan Cheng called it: “First courtesy, then force!” In a tiny shower stall enclosed by frosted glass, only big enough for a single showerhead, muffled sounds of intimacy could be heard. The frosted glass door wasn’t completely shut,…

The man pursed his lips, tightening his jaw. His left elbow rested beside her waist as he leaned over her. His back was slightly hunched, creating a small distance between them. In the silence, his narrowed eyes seemed to flash with a deep, meaningful light. When he stared down at her, it was as if…

Sometimes, one should be grateful for having strong psychological resilience. It took Chen Jinyao about two to three minutes to completely calm down. The ripples deep in her heart gradually disappeared as she discreetly composed her expression, even hiding her initial “shock” well. Under such a facade of peace, she believed she could now calmly…

This year’s fierce cold wave lingered in the capital longer than usual. Its unpredictable nature caught many people off guard, followed by a prolonged stay of the flu virus. Hospitals and small clinics fell into their “busy IV drip season,” with endless streams of patients flowing in. Nurses worked tirelessly like spinning tops, mostly too…
