Chapter 15 The stifling feeling in Chen Zongqian’s heart was hard to alleviate, and since he couldn't smoke, he settled for unwrapping a mint to comfort himself. He watched the time; the day would be over in a few minutes. He opened tomorrow’s schedule, planning several items until the candy in his mouth completely dissolved, finally arranging his time clearly and logically. He had found the information he needed. Chen Zongqian was about to leave with the documents, but before entering the room, he…

Chapter 14 The Beiguan Town Police Station normally closes at five in the evening, and Chen Zongqian arrived exactly when people were having late-night snacks. By all accounts, it was bad timing, but Chen Zongqian was lucky enough to catch his old classmate who was on the night shift. Kang Heying was dripping eye drops when he glimpsed a tall figure through the watery blur. He recognized who it was just by the man’s imposing presence. Kang Heying had known since the morning that Chen Zongqian was…

Dinner was eaten at the factory canteen. Chen Zongqian ate the communal meal very gracefully, showing no sign of fussiness. Xu Qiaochuan sat opposite him, recalling that they had eaten together once before, though that time had been unpleasant, with everything having been messed up by him. Having developed a bad habit of eating too fast during his school days, and with all canteen food tasting the same, Xu Qiaochuan still wanted to quickly swallow a few bites, just enough to fill his stomach and be done…

The photo album was heavy, filled with fragments of time spanning ten or twenty years, offering a glimpse into someone else's past. This was private material, and only after receiving Xu Qiaochuan’s consent could Chen Zongqian finally see this remarkable item with his own eyes. The first, oldest picture was of Xu Qiaochuan when he was first born. Ignoring composition and lighting, and with poor resolution, the photo showed a wrinkled baby whose eyes hadn't even opened yet. Xu Qiaochuan looked at the…

The red brick wall surrounding the courtyard was low, allowing a clear view of the interior. The old Xu family home was ancient, and compared to the residents down the slope, it seemed utterly devoid of life. Chen Zongqian had asked Granny, and she said the house had been empty since the old man passed away, with only Xu Qiaochuan returning a few days ago. He was probably back to deal with Lu Xiaoyun’s belongings. After Lu Xiaoyun married, she distanced herself from her maternal family, so Xu Qiaochuan…

“The case from the Legal Aid Center isn't particularly bizarre, it’s just like all difficult cases.” It’s always about the clients being uncooperative. Chen Zongqian was listening to the woman’s voice on the other end of the phone complain. She paused for a moment, followed by a burst of noise. Chen Zongqian frowned slightly. The person opposite him remained silent during this time. Only after the noise subsided did she say, “I need you to run an errand pro bono… I’ve run into some…

He Xiaoyun X Xia Chi He Xiaoyun X Xia Chi "If you don't let go, I'll really regret it." He Xiaoyun was being hugged so tightly he could barely breathe. He had only just rested for a moment, and now being shaken back and forth like this, he felt like his waist was about to break. Xia Chi's entire face was flushed, his dark eyes sparkling like crystals as he stared at him, both excited and shy, but radiating an irrepressible happiness: "You're not lying to me, are you? No, no, even if you are, it's okay.…-

He Xiaoyun x Xia Chi The next day, when He Xiaoyun woke up, it was already 3:00 PM. He had been roused by thirst. As he opened his eyes, he saw a bedside table illuminated by a warm yellow lamp—with a glass of water resting on it. Instinctively, he reached out to grab the water, but the moment he lifted his arm, every muscle and nerve in his body screamed in protest. A wave of aching soreness spread through him, and he involuntarily groaned in discomfort; the raised arm then fell back onto the…

"Get out!" He Xiaoyun shook his head violently, trying to reach for his phone, but Xia Wan clearly saw his intention and threw He Xiaoyun's phone directly into the half-melted ice bucket, then casually pushed the small trolley into the bedroom. He Xiaoyun wanted to go over, but his legs gave way after only a few steps, and he knelt directly on the ground. With his movements and the surging emotions in his heart, his blood flow accelerated, and the medicine took effect faster. He felt like he had a high…
