HL CH280

by Aria — "Ha—" All the pain merged into half a muffled groan that was crushed and swallowed back down before it could even leave his throat. It was so faint that it was completely lost in the pitter-patter of the rain. Ji Xun's right arm had been shot and could not be raised; the moment his left arm moved, the weight-bearing bone at his collarbone throbbed as if it were being crushed inch by inch. Gritting his teeth, he forced his left hand upward, grabbing the chain attached to the hook, doing…

HL CH281

by Aria — Inside the cabin, all was deathly silent. Hanging just outside a square window was a broken, battered human form. His clothes were shredded, his entire body covered in wounds with raw, torn flesh. Rain mingled with fresh blood, trickling down his trembling frame in streamlets and threads. Had it not been for the subtle, strained twitch of his head, it would have looked like a framed painting of death. Yet it was precisely because he moved. Because he moved, the painting of death transformed into a…

HL CH282

by Aria — The fingers brushing against Ji Xun’s cheek brought a sudden rush of warmth like an electric current. Yet that tranquil warmth lingered on Huo Ranyin’s fingertips for only a split second before Ji Xun was dragged out of the sea and hauled up onto the deck. Watching this scene unfold with his own eyes, the sheer frustration of missing his grasp nearly robbed Huo Ranyin of his remaining sanity. He almost surfaced to grab Ji Xun—or be captured right alongside him. But it was meaningless. It…

HL CH283

by Aria — Plunging straight into the water from the deck, the immense force of the impact left Ji Xun disoriented, completely unaware of his surroundings. No vision, no hearing. His body fell helplessly into the depths, dragged down by the heavy iron chains and the engine block. Even his consciousness, which should have existed independently—elevated above the flesh—felt as though it were sucked into an oceanic whirlpool, reduced to a muddled blur. Yet amidst this haze, his perceptions grew…

HL CH285 [Extra]

by Aria — Having been admitted on April 29th, nearly half a month of hospitalization allowed Ji Xun to watch the once-bare plane tree branches outside his window burst into a lush expanse of powdery purple clouds. Heavy clusters of blossoms weighed down the slender twigs, drooping until they touched the windowsill. Whenever a stray breeze blew past, a stray petal would wander into the palm of Ji Xun, who still struggled to lift his arms. "Sigh—" Ji Xun let out a long sigh, placing the petal resting in his…

HL CH284.1

by Aria — Ji Xun woke from the pitch-black darkness. He felt as though he had been abruptly startled awake from a brief nap, his entire being muddled and dazed. He didn't feel much pain, but a strong sensation of numbness pervaded his body. Was it anesthesia or painkillers? He looked up at the ceiling. It was vaulted, featuring a fresco of angels flying toward the Virgin Mary. Around him, he noticed lavish wooden furniture and a massive, arched window. Though the window was obscured by curtains, he could…

by Aria — Later, Huo Ranyin really did fall asleep. He slept through to ten in the evening, right past dinner. When he finally woke up, the slumber demon hadn’t completely released its captive. Ji Xun noticed that Huo Ranyin’s expression was a bit dazed, yet shadowed with a touch of annoyance. It was rare to see such straightforward, plain emotions on his face. "Hungry?" Ji Xun asked right away. "..." Huo Ranyin shook his head. "Then keep sleeping," Ji Xun said, lightly patting him. "..." Huo…

HL CH284.2

by Aria — Having finished the entire story of his own family, Ji Xun took a few deep breaths, picked up the champagne on the table again, and drank it in one gulp. Huo Ranyin cast his gaze over, worry suppressed beneath those dark, deep eyes. Ji Xun smiled at Huo Ranyin, letting the slight alcohol spread through his body, before proceeding to speak of another investment target. "And what you did to us almost identically happened to Ben. Perhaps, again because of me, my dramatic family composition led you…

by Aria — "Actually, it hurts quite a bit," Ji Xun quickly changed his tune, switching options. "It hurts so much I can barely sleep." "That's not what you said just now," Huo Ranyin said pointedly. "Just now, I didn't want you to worry." "And now?" "Now, I want to make you happy," Ji Xun said. "In your mind," Huo Ranyin leaned against the windowsill, casting a sidelong glance at Ji Xun with a faint smile, "knowing that your injury hurts makes me happy?" "..." He really is angry, isn't he? On…

HL CH284.3

by Aria — After counter-questioning three stories one by one, Yu Cisheng continued: "As for the diary... I admit, that matter was a worldly form of evil. That was a very shallow thing I did during my youth, before understanding more information and more of the world. It was an immature investment; I wanted to use that investment to create one of my works." Yu Cisheng engaged in self-reflection and self-criticism. Yet he immediately followed with: "However, that wasn't a prank. It was genuinely a form…
