      by Aria — Chi Qing didn't have much of an impression of the things he had acted in the past, but that didn't stop him from feeling embarrassed when he saw his own face appear on the TV. He was so embarrassed that his fingers suddenly tensed up. For no reason, he found himself distracted, wondering: If this scene were playing at Ji Mingrui’s house, would he still feel uncomfortable or even nervous? The answer to that question was obvious… he probably wouldn't. Not only would he not be nervous, but he…

      by Aria — Chi Qing didn't catch the underlying meaning behind Xie Lin's probing. After Xie Lin finished asking, he watched Chi Qing chop a piece of beef into slices with a swift and practiced motion, rendering all his previous plans void. ...Honestly, this particular hobby of his was something he couldn't handle. He certainly couldn't just jump off the balcony right now and turn himself into a corpse. During the meal, Chi Qing noticed that Xie Lin, who was usually talkative enough to make one want to gag…

      by Aria — Wu Zhi spent the night nursing a hangover, only to wake up to a commendation from Xie Lin: The idea was good. "..." It took Wu Zhi a long time to remember what idea he was talking about. Wasn't that the same idea you taught me in the past?! He really worried that his friend’s brain hadn't been functioning well these last few days. Then, Wu Zhi scrolled down and immediately saw another message: Find a way to set up a get-together tomorrow. Make sure to invite my assistant and Officer Ji and…

      by Aria — With the earring on, Xie Lin’s outfit looked even more flamboyant. He already possessed a face that looked "trouble-making," and with him being so attentive—constantly plugging a piece of fruit on a toothpick and handing it over—Chi Qing began to get the illusion that he should be paying for this service. If he weren't a consultant, with a face like that, he could probably collect plenty of transfers just by strolling around outside. ...And the most striking earring on his person was one that…

      by Aria — Chi Qing felt as if he had been scalded; he tried to pull his hand back like he’d been electrocuted. The car remained silent. Neither of them spoke. The only sounds were their shallow breathing and the rustle of fabric as Xie Lin leaned forward. That distorted voice—a voice only the two of them could hear—sounded like a dream-murmur. Xie Lin closed his eyes slowly, opened them, and continued to share his deductions about Chi Qing. Xie Lin hadn't read all those psychology…

      by Aria — Thank you @Renea for the Kofi. _ As Chi Qing spoke, he heard Xie Lin let out a soft laugh. Then, Xie Lin’s laughter grew increasingly difficult to control, especially after Chi Qing finished saying, "I suspect I might have developed some kind of illness again." Chi Qing: "What’s so funny?" Xie Lin rested a hand on Chi Qing’s head. Since Chi Qing was slightly shorter, Xie Lin habitually leaned down when he spoke, his tone filled with an intimacy that made Chi Qing’s head spin.…

      by Aria — The paper star that had been unfolded by Yu Yang as it lay on the desk was blue. Because it had been tightly clenched in someone's palm, the creases had become messy and blurred—as had the handwriting on it. "Is this your sister's handwriting?" "Yes." "Have you seen these... paper stars before?" "No. I rarely entered her room after I started high school." "……" The paper stars originally scattered on the floor had already been picked up by Yu Yang and packed back into the transparent…

      by Aria — On the other side of the phone, Xie Lin paused for two seconds before dropping another bombshell: "That person is male. He is the 'he' written in Yu Lan's note." Ji Mingrui was utterly shocked. The street was packed with endless traffic. He turned the steering wheel, pulling the car out of the lane and parking it by the curb: "You guys even managed to deduce that?" Just a moment ago, they had been discussing the gender of this mysterious contact without a single clue. Even fortune-telling…

      by Aria — The news broadcasted across various locations in Huanan City. At the very end of the broadcast, a report hotline scrolled across the screen in large, bold black letters. When Ji Mingrui returned home that day, he tossed and turned before going to sleep, thinking that something felt off: if it was just to broadcast a news report, did they really need to drag it out for an entire day? He felt this matter wasn't that simple. For something that could be wrapped up in half an hour, those two…

      by Aria — Jiang Yu considered the issue more comprehensively and asked, "Could it be a member of the faculty or staff at the school?" Xie Lin: "Unlikely. If the suspect were an older individual who wanted to kill someone, the probability of them choosing to achieve that goal by dating them online... is virtually zero. Older people tend to feel they are stronger than these 'kids.' If they wanted to kill, it wouldn't be that much of a hassle; it's just killing a child." "And put yourself in their shoes—would…
