      by Volare Chapter 44 A Kiss In the chaotic town-and-village area, unfamiliar faces come and go, and you have no idea who lives next door. Old, broken, small, dirty, and chaotic; poor public security, almost synonymous with this place. Cheap rent, narrow streets littered with garbage, and changing neighbors three times a year... Someone like Shen Tingyu, dressed head to toe in designer clothes, wearing limited-edition new sneakers, with a clearly expensive watch on his wrist, and boasting a beautiful face…

      by Volare Chapter 45: Fall Officially entering the third year of high school, the seating arrangement was rearranged, and deskmates were changed to single desks, rotating weekly. The new seating chart was based on grades, and due to the significant differences in scores, Huo Ye was predictably placed at the furthest corner from Shen Tingyu's diagonal. In fact, school had already been in session for quite some time, as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button—before he knew it, he had just started…

      by Volare Chapter 41: Words Cannot Express the Heart It was clearly the bright daylight with the sun shining, yet this dilapidated room was unusually dark, as if isolated from the world outside. The remaining light was cut into countless small squares by the empty window frames, and with the naked eye, one could see thousands of tiny dust particles dancing in the air, lively like notes leaping on a musical score. The surroundings were eerily silent, with only the hurried breaths of the two intertwining, the…

      by Volare Chapter 42 Unwilling When they fell, Shen Tingyu still had some conscience and quickly rolled over to cushion Huo Ye, allowing Huo Ye to land on his chest instead of hitting the ground directly. Dizzy and lying amidst the mess, Huo Ye felt something sharp jabbing into his abdomen, but it wasn't the broken leg of a table. He couldn't think too much and quickly pushed himself off the ground, scrambling to get up from Shen Tingyu. His clothes were wrinkled and crumpled, making it look like they…

      by Volare Chapter 37: Bastard Recently, Shen Tingyu has noticed that Huo Ye seems to have changed quite a bit. — What has changed? In the past, during class, the two always had a lot to talk about. Although they would tone it down as exams approached, it was never to the point where they hardly spoke at all like now. If previously their interactions were a duet, now it felt more like a solo performance, even though Shen Tingyu used to be the quieter one between them. If Huo Ye just wanted to focus on his…

      by Volare Chapter 38: Different As they went down the stairs, they passed a few advanced classes for the first-year students when a boy suddenly rushed out of a classroom, colliding directly with the cornering Huo Ye. Both of them stumbled back a few steps. Shen Tingyu reached out to steady Huo Ye’s back, allowing him to regain his balance. Looking up, he was stunned. The boy before them was tall and slim, with a small bone structure, but he didn’t appear weak; he exuded a powerful stubbornness. His…

      by Volare Chapter 39: Rumors Almost fleeing in a panic, Huo Ye prepared dinner once Shen Tingyu fell asleep and told the old lady that he was heading back to class. Before leaving, he remembered to leave a note on the bedside table—after the fever subsides, he might sweat, so don’t rush to take a shower; at least wait until tonight. The porridge is kept warm in the pot; he can eat it when he wakes up. It was only after Huo Ye returned to school that he suddenly remembered he had forgotten to delete the…

      by Volare Chapter 40: Dajue Temple On Saturday morning, Dajue Temple. A group of people bought tickets and entered one after another, led by the noisy ones. Xia Zhiyao's mother is a believer in Buddhism and often brings her to the temple to pray for blessings and experience the incense, so she is quite familiar with the place. She acts like a little tour guide, eagerly introducing everything, talking with confidence and reason. Xiong Ying said, "Why not go shave your head and become a nun? With such a…

      by Volare Chapter 32: Paparazzi "Huo Ye, are you serious?" In front of him was a self-built house adjacent to the old Huo residence, located near the back mountain, in a very remote area. There was a small yard, surrounded by a vibrant wall of ivy, glowing with strange and brilliant colors under the warm winter sun—bright and dazzling. If you overlook how dilapidated this house was, it might truly be considered a beautiful scene—but after Shen Tingyu wandered around the house a few times, all he wanted…

      by Volare Chapter 33: Catching Chickens In a village, meals are served in large pots at several round tables set up in the yard; you can eat a feast every day. After Huo Ye finished buying groceries, he tied on an apron and helped in the kitchen. The kitchen was small, crammed with aunts and grannies; the old men in the village just ate and didn’t do any work, only boasting and drinking. At nearly twenty, Huo Ye still confidently sat at the children's table, pretending to eat a couple of bites…
