AD CH122

by Aria — Chapter 122: Dayin Jianghu, To Be Continued (Extra 6) Chen Jian sat at the front desk, checking the room reservations on the computer while resting his hand down to stroke Mogu, who sat beside his chair. More than half the rooms were booked. Honestly, there was no real need to check this information over and over, but he still liked looking at it whenever he had a spare moment. It brought a sense of satisfaction, and a sense of security. The security of being able to make money. Today was Chen…

AD CH104

by Aria — Early in the morning, Lu Yun arrived in town. Chen Jian initially thought he had come merely to pick up his dog, but a glance into the vehicle revealed his colleague as well as Old Ding from the town management office. He was here strictly for work. The Lantern Festival hadn’t even passed, yet the workaholic and his colleagues were already completely done with the New Year holidays. The instant Shiwu spotted Lu Yun, he went berserk with excitement—head shaking, rear wagging so hard his tail…

AD CH115

by Aria — Visiting Shan Yu's room was something Chen Jian had been looking forward to. But now, with Shan Yu's prelude, visiting his room felt very wrong. Chen Jian held onto the bar with one hand and the Coke glass with the other, not moving. "Hey," Shan Yu looked at him. "Hm?" Chen Jian took a sip of Coke. "Don't make me carry you in," Shan Yu said. "No," Chen Jian put down his glass and turned to look at him. "This is so strange. It's like having an affair." "Having a relationship in one's…

by Aria — Uh-oh. The city boy was mad. The city boy was about to throw a tantrum. Chen Jian trailed behind the city boy toward the elevator. "Store Manager Chen," Lao Wu stood in front of the stairs, one hand propped on the vacuum cleaner and the other on his hip, looking at him. "I need to talk to you about something." Shan Yu pressed the elevator button, casting a brief glance at Lao Wu. "After lunch, then," Lao Wu quickly added. Shan Yu stepped inside. "Mm," Chen Jian acknowledged,…

by Aria — After finishing their meal, Chen Jian headed back to the office with Shan Yu. He had sat through lunch with a head full of dripping hair; despite the indoor heating, the ground floor was vast and open, leaving his scalp feeling chilled the entire time. Yet by the time Shan Yu retrieved the blow-dryer for him, he discovered his hair had already air-dried for the most part. "Still want to dry it?" Shan Yu asked. "Forget it," Chen Jian stood before the mirror, raking a hand through his locks. "It's…

AD CH107

by Aria — Several motorcycles roared through First Street. The New Year holiday hadn't yet concluded, and the roads were still blanketed in shredded red firecracker paper. The spring couplets and paper window cuttings on the storefronts flanking the street blazed a vibrant crimson. Many of the more elegant, boutique-style shops hadn't even reverted to their usual playlists, still blasting an assortment of joyous, festive New Year anthems. However, the crowds had thinned considerably compared to the preceding…

AD CH108

by Aria — Chen Erhu’s calm and affirmative answer caused a brief, abrupt pause in the room’s conversation. For a moment, it seemed no one knew what to say. Perhaps because everyone was standing right there with her, Sun Nana’s composure recovered slightly. She smoothed her hair, leaned against the table, and looked at her parents. Taking a soft breath, she said, "If you came here to persuade me, save your breath. I'm not going home. I'm not going back to his house, and I'm not going back to yours. I must…

by Aria — Chapter 120: Someone Comes Out (Extra 4) "Dad," Chen Jian looked at his dad, sliding the tissue box across the table toward him. "This thing... Sun Nana only went to talk to him this morning. We still don't know the outcome, or whether..." "I know what you mean," his dad pulled out a tissue and dabbed at his eyes. "Honestly, it doesn't matter whether we can get it back or not. It's enough for Dad to know you've been keeping it in your heart." He had kept it in his heart all along; every time he…

by Aria — After they finished eating, went to the restroom, and even washed their faces, Chen Jian felt refreshed when he returned to the parking lot, but only mentally. Physically, he was not very energetic. "Damn," he said, supporting his lower back with his hand. "My back is sore." "Where is it sore?" Shan Yu looked at him. "Be specific." "The erector spinae!" Chen Jian clicked his tongue. "That's more like it," Shan Yu said, holding his waist and rubbing his erector spinae with his thumb. "Is it…

by Aria — "An idea?" Chen Jian looked around. "What kind of idea do you have? You can still have ideas in broad daylight like this?" "Hey," Shan Yu lowered his phone and looked at him. "This take is ruined now, isn't it?" "What are you doing?" Chen Jian pulled Shiwu back as the dog kept trying to lunge forward, walking over to Shan Yu. "Let me see?" Shan Yu tapped on the video on his phone and held it out to him. It was a clip over five minutes long. From the moment he went to the doghouse to lead Shiwu…
