      by Volare Chapter 62 Publication That night, Ji Ruan's lips became swollen. If it wasn't for Gu Xiuyi's final restraint, his lips would have been chapped. As a result, Ji Ruan had to take a detour when he got up the next day. He didn't want to be caught by Gu Xiuyi, who would then pull him in for another kiss. After that, at school, he would be cornered by Han Xiaolin and a group of roommates, questioning him about sneaking out to eat spicy snail noodles without inviting them. Ji Ruan quietly opened…

      by Volare Chapter 63 Ji Ruan discovered that Gu Xiuyi seemed to be dedicated to giving him a love that was ordinary among peers. Good morning kisses, goodnight kisses, sending flowers, picking up and dropping off from school, candlelight dinners were all basic practices. Ji Ruan casually mentioned that many classmates had recently gone to see a certain movie, and without a word, Gu Xiuyi bought the tickets, even slyly opting for the second-to-last row. He had recently consulted with Li Sui'an on…

      by Volare Chapter 56: Ji Ruan first went to the studio with Cheng Zizhang. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Cheng Yunxiu waiting inside. She wore a light blue qipao, her long hair styled up, looking particularly gentle and intellectual in the studio filled with Han embroidery works. She must have just brewed some tea; upon hearing the door open, she turned around and walked over gracefully, “Xiao Ruan, come in quickly! Oh, you finally made it.” “How is it? Your health is fine now,…

      by Volare Chapter 57 "Come here, Xiao Gu, have a cup of tea." Ten minutes later, Gu Xiuyi sat on the small sofa in the studio, accepting the white porcelain tea cup that Cheng Yunxiu handed him, politely saying, "Thank you." Cheng Yunxiu smiled gently, "You're welcome. You two chat for a while; it's getting late. Zizhang and I will go out to buy some groceries. If you're not busy, why don't you stay for dinner tonight?" Gu Xiuyi did not refuse, "Alright, then I’ll take up your hospitality." Cheng…

      by Volare Chapter 58 Ji Ruan instantly woke up. At the same time, he felt as if he were dreaming. "You...?" Ji Ruan sat up straight, "What are you doing here?" He touched Gu Xiuyi's bicep in disbelief, then poked at his abs, "Ah, you really are here." Gu Xiuyi: "..." Gu Xiuyi was both amused and helpless, ignoring the apparently flirty behavior of this little one, he pinched his face softly and said, "I came to wait for you after school." Ji Ruan was still sleepy, his eyes shimmering with…

      by Volare Chapter 59 Arthur. He didn't say his real name. Ji Ruan seemed to smile slightly, or perhaps just casually moved the corners of his mouth. The afternoon sunlight mixed with the shadows of the trees fell on his face, making him look pale and tired, yet there was a certain unusual beauty that silently captured the attention of those around him. "Okay, Mr. Bai," he closed his notebook. "For the custom piece, do you have any specific requirements?" "Requirements, well, not really," Arthur…

      by Volare Chapter 52 Ten minutes later. The bathroom was brightly lit, with steam rising from the hot water in the bathtub, and soft instrumental music surrounded the two of them. Mr. Gu even lit some aromatherapy candles to show his “taste” in Ji Ruan's eyes. Ji Ruan sat on a small stool in front of the bathtub, hands crossed defensively, clutching the hem of his clothes, his face so flushed he couldn’t lift his head. His beige coat had been unceremoniously stripped off by Gu Xiuyi before…

      by Volare Chapter 53 Ji Ruan turned over and curled up, cold sweat pouring out, soaking the pillow. He always thought that as long as he didn't like Gu Xiuyi, as long as he was strong enough, he could avoid the bad plot points in the book. But how did it end up like this? Was it that the plot would happen no matter what, or was it because... he had started to like Gu Xiuyi? Ji Ruan's heart raced again, little by little, the bits and pieces of these days unfolded in front of him like a comic…

      by Volare Chapter 54 Gu Xiuyi had not held Ji Ruan to sleep for four days. He began to deeply realize the seriousness of the situation. "So what exactly did you do to him?" In the spacious lounge, the late spring sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a tranquil and warm atmosphere, with the scent of sunlight lingering in the air. The man sitting on the light blue fabric sofa had his back to the window, surrounded by a halo of light, yet there was a shadow cast across his brow,…

      by Volare Chapter 55 After dinner, Ji Ruan knocked on the study door. He imitated Gu Xiuyi's actions and brought a cup of milk inside, where he was led by Gu Xiuyi to sit on a small sofa on the side. The light in the study was not very bright; only the eye-protecting lamp and the computer screen on the desk emitted some light, while the humidifier was quietly releasing white smoke, creating an unusually serene atmosphere. Gu Xiuyi sat down next to him, dressed in simple home clothes, with a pair of…
