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…-

"If someone saw this," Shan Yu smiled, "it would be even more exaggerated than holding a concert in the car." "That's different," Chen Jian said, rubbing his thumb on his lips. "And as long as it's not President Liu, I'm fine." Shan Yu glanced at the coffee and the opened snacks in the car. "Your afternoon tea is quite rich." "Afternoon coffee," Chen Jian said as he packed things up in a plastic bag. "The coffee in the city is too expensive. A crappy latte costs twenty-eight yuan, and it's nothing…

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…

After graduating from high school, Chen Jian had never even traveled, let alone left the city. Before high school, he had never left at all. He was well aware that before his debt was paid off, none of these things had anything to do with him. Although he wouldn't feel any regret or anticipation when talking about it, this time when Shan Yu said he was taking him on a business trip, even though he specifically emphasized it was a real business trip, he still felt like it was a trip. A real…

The teacher in charge of training the Dayinemployees, Ms. Li, was indeed introduced by Lu Jun. Although the training period was very short, only staying at the shop for two days, and the training content mainly focused on the small area of service, she would observe everyone's work status outside of class time. "Actually, if we follow the hotel's standards, all of your employees, including you," she looked at Chen Jian, "might not be qualified even after the training." "Doesn't that include the…

Theoretically, Chen Jian was off duty today, yet he woke up right on time just before 7:00 AM. Outside, the sky wasn't even fully bright. Aside from Chen Erhu, who had just returned from patrolling the building, Sanbing and Lao Si were still fast asleep in the dorm. Lao Wu had gone home yesterday and hadn't returned yet. "Why are you still sleeping in the dorm?" Chen Erhu asked, shucking his coat and leaning back against his pillow, preparing to catch a little more sleep as he watched Chen…

This straightforward answer left Chen Jian speechless for a moment; he simply stared at Shan Yu. Should he press on? "How were you deceived?" That would sound too much like gossip and be offensive. Comfort him? That would be too fake. Not knowing how he was deceived, there was no angle to offer comfort from... "Hup!" Shan Yu snapped his fingers in front of Chen Jian's eyes. Chen Jian sighed, twisted the throttle, and the sidecar surged forward. Forget it, I won't argue with a boss who's missing limbs.…

It took Chen Erhu quite a while to recover from his delayed shock. Walking toward the car, his limbs were stiff, his every movement radiating a forced, theatrical casualness. "Why don't you three ride your motorcycles back?" Chen Jian interjected, asking Sanbing. "You brought the G-Class!" Lao Si exclaimed. "Why would we ride motorcycles! We haven't even sat in this car yet!" "So you're just abandoning your bikes?" Chen Jian asked. "Are you dumb? We'll just stroll over and fetch them when we're…

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…

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…
