AD CH62

by Aria — The door to Shan Yu's office was open, and from outside, one could see Yue Lang perched on the edge of the desk, propping himself up with one hand. Yao Yi sat in the office chair, with Shan Yu standing behind her. The three of them were staring at the computer screen together. Chen Jian knocked on the door. "Enter," Yue Lang called out. "Is Dayin being handed over to Sister Xiao Yi?" Chen Jian asked as he walked in. "I wouldn't want it even if you paid me. Just look at the people working here,"…

AD CH61

by Aria — "Boss Shan, you don't need to get involved in this," Sanbing reached out to block Shan Yu's path before turning back to the shop owner. "What's the meaning of you coming into our inn like this?" "I'm looking for someone! Where else would I look if not here?" the owner retorted. Which wasn't technically wrong. "Let's talk outside," Hu Pan said, walking up to the owner and heading toward the door. The owner cast a glance at Shan Yu, stood up, and followed her out. Sanbing wanted to follow…

AD CH60

by Aria — He slept pretty well last night, very deeply. Although he woke up with his usual morning temper, by the time he was washing up, Chen Jian’s mood had completely shifted. Thinking about last night put him in such a good mood he almost swallowed a mouthful of toothpaste foam. After washing up, he stepped out of the dorm and glanced toward the office. The door was shut. Normally, if Shan Yu was up, the door would be left ajar. He went straight to the elevator. Since the boss had already tossed the…

AD CH59

by Aria — The dizziness hit fast, starting the exact moment Shan Yu closed the distance and Chen Jian's eyes failed to focus. As the point of contact on his lips slowly widened, the sensation gradually diffused outward. High and low frequencies buzzed simultaneously in his ears, like background music to his panic and excitement—chaotic and grand. Everywhere that scorching breath reached felt as if it had caught fire, burning from the corner of his lips to the edge of his ears, down the side of his neck...…

AD CH58

by Aria — Shan Yu couldn't speak immediately. It even took him a few seconds to figure out exactly what Chen Jian's words meant—an angle he had never thought of, nor ever considered. He looked at Chen Jian. His gaze then slowly fell on the fire pit behind him. The fire in the pit was burning even brighter now. The dancing flames carried a bright, golden, warm light. After staring for a long time, the glare made his eyes feel a bit hot. He sighed softly, shifted his gaze, and brought it back to Chen…

AD CH57

by Aria — Shan Yu’s neck was very warm, especially when Chen Jian’s nose—turned icy by the cold wind—pressed against it; it even felt a little hot. He could feel the pulse beating on the side of Shan Yu’s neck, and the faint scent of seawater that diffused bit by bit with each throb. He felt panicked. A sudden, intense wave of panic. There was a yearning for warmth. And there was also fear and helplessness toward the unknown. He stood there motionless. He didn't want to move, nor did…

AD CH56

by Aria — The soundproofing on Tang Rui's car was nowhere near as good as Yao Yi's. Sounds from outside filtered in clearly—people complaining about failing their tests, people on the phone, cars pulling in, cars pulling out... Amid the cluttered noise, Chen Jian could still hear his own heartbeat and breathing with pinpoint accuracy. Even the air he exhaled felt hot against his nose. He didn't dare glance toward Shan Yu, keeping his head down and staring intently at Shan Yu's hand. Even though it was…

AD CH55

by Aria — Old Lü wasn't particularly friendly. Chen Jian could tell, though simply because he was a local from the village and familiar enough, Old Lü didn't arrange a freezing water-splashing festival for him like they had for Da Li. Chen Jian recognized all the people inside the shop; they were all owners of the barbecue stalls here. Everyone's business operated basically the same way: a simple storefront including the area out front, enclosed by a windproof shelter. Further into the center lay the open…

AD CH54

by Aria — Shan Yu didn't say anything, still leaning against the desk with his arms folded. The coffee mug in his hand obscured the lower half of his face, the rising steam veiling his eyes. After speaking those words, Chen Jian had no strength left to open his mouth again. "Chen Jian," Shan Yu lowered his gaze to the coffee in his cup, "you're a bit outside my expectations." "So there are times when your calculations are off too," Chen Jian said. Shan Yu smiled, looking up at him. "Thank you." Chen…

AD CH53

by Aria — The mountain night view was indeed breathtaking. For the first time, Chen Jian took this long to genuinely appreciate the scenery he had lived alongside for twenty years. His steps felt light. He wasn't sure if it was because of Shan Yu or the alcohol, but it felt as though he could ride the wind and dive straight into that shimmering silver world beneath the moonlight. Yue Lang and Yao Yi each held a bottle of wine, chatting as they drank and snapping photos every now and then. Chen Jian and Shan…
