      Chapter 55 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 55 After three days of languishing at Fang Xing's house, Ling Sheng took the dejected puppy back. "Go take a shower." Ling Sheng handed him the pajamas and underwear he had previously left there. Jiang Chen obediently took the clothes, but turned back at the bathroom door. His eyes were still bloodshot, red and swollen, with dark circles under his eyes. His hair was messy, and his chin was covered with a light blue stubble. When he stared at Ling Sheng, he looked like a puppy that had just been…

      Chapter 54 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 54 Around 5 o'clock, it started snowing outside, the first snow of the year. Ling Sheng stood on the balcony, recalling that winter when, also during the first snow, Xiang Yang agreed to be with him. That day, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, and he stood on the dormitory balcony, blowing in the wind for half the night, like a lunatic. He ended up catching a cold the next day. Young love is always headstrong, reckless. He asked Xiang Yang to teach him basketball, brought him…

      Chapter 53 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 53 Coming Out? Ling Sheng was getting a headache from the questions Jiang Chen kept throwing at him: "You asked him to come out?" He knew He Xiaoyun had visited the Jiang family because of the project, but He Xiaoyun hadn't spilled the beans about their relationship. That wasn't He Xiaoyun's style, so he hadn't been too worried. But how did it loop back to coming out? He Xiaoyun sat there, looking relaxed: "I don't have that kind of power." Ling Sheng couldn't say much more to him. After…

      Chapter 52 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 52 The next day, Jiang Chen went to the He Corporation's branch in Jiang City. There was a Starbucks downstairs, and Jiang Chen waited for He Xiaoyun there. He Xiaoyun still looked lazy and flippant. He sat down in front of Jiang Chen, looked around, and said critically, "Jiang, this is my first time in this kind of coffee shop. Let's meet somewhere else next time." Jiang Chen had something he wanted to ask him, so he said, "Where does Director He want to go? We can go now." He Xiaoyun refused,…

      Chapter 51 Cover
      by Volare This sentence allowed Jiang Chen to have an exceptionally good sleep. He Xiaoyun was merely a reference, without even the qualifications to compete. However, Jiang Chen immediately regretted something upon waking up. Why did he bring up Plato? Why did he have to fight He Xiaoyun? Now, with only ten days or so until the exam, he was being watched by his brother, making it impossible to see Ling Sheng. Furthermore, with the exams approaching, his brother wouldn't believe him if he said he was going to…

      Chapter 50 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 50 Jiang Chen felt like he was bewitched. He had indeed indulged himself thinking about Ling Sheng many times, but never in a video call like this. But that feeling of being unable to control himself came again. While his reason was telling him to refuse, he obediently found his earphones and plugged them in. "Not the bathroom, just the bed." Ling Sheng hummed in agreement and asked, "Is it soft?" Jiang Chen blushed. When he heard Ling Sheng mention the kiss just now, he only recalled the…

      Chapter 49 Cover
      by Volare Jiang Chen was still hot when he got in the car. He looked down at himself, hit the steering wheel, calmed down for another ten minutes, and then drove home. He was the one who talked about platonic love, and he was also the one who almost stripped him naked at the door. Although Ling Sheng made the first move, he wasn't exactly innocent either, not being able to control himself. If it weren't for his brother's phone call, he might not have been able to come back today. After driving for more than an…

      Chapter 48 Cover
      by Volare Ling Sheng paused, admitting, "In the beginning, there was this concern, wasn't there?" After all, Jiang Chen hadn't been in love before and was straight. Perhaps his infatuation was just a temporary impulse? Jiang Chen quickly declared, "I'm not just acting on impulse. I thought it through before I got together with you." Regarding this, Ling Sheng retorted, "Really thought it through?" Jiang Chen didn't want to lie to him. He was indeed mostly impulsive when he confessed to Ling Sheng. At that time,…

      Chapter 47 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 47 Ling Sheng returned home, took a shower, and the alcohol started to kick in, but he wasn't sleepy. This was the first time Jiang Chen had explicitly rejected him, wanting to withdraw from his side. Ling Sheng hugged a blanket, suddenly recalling when they first started dating. Jiang Chen sat here and let him rest his head on his lap to sleep, not moving for two hours. When he leaned in for a kiss, his ears would turn red, and when Ling Sheng caressed him, the kiss would deepen, like a…

      CCWAD – Chapter 9 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 9: A Startling Encounter at Fan Lou Prologue: "The moment I stepped into Fan Lou, the scent of perfume overpowered the stench of sweat, and the melodies of silk and bamboo replaced the shouts of battle. I thought I had arrived in paradise, until I discovered that the rules here were even more unforgiving than Liangshan, swallowing people whole without even spitting out the bones." --- A month later, dust-covered Yan Qing finally stood on the streets of Eastern Capital Bianliang. The prosperity…
