      by Volare Chapter 23: Persuasion for Withdrawal Just as Huo Ye felt he was getting to know Shen Tingyu better, Shen Tingyu felt as though he was increasingly unable to see through Huo Ye, especially regarding this matter, which he found hard to understand. In Shen Tingyu's dictionary, the idea of a hero saving a beauty absolutely did not exist; unnecessary kindness was rather a trivial thing. He disliked those who kicked someone when they were down but also had no interest in helping those in dire…

      by Volare Chapter 24: Suffering from One's Own Actions The hallways in this urban village are generally narrow, with poor sound insulation. Huo Ye sat in the living room, hearing the sound of the security door downstairs opening, followed by the increasingly loud footsteps of a person approaching. Finally arriving at the front door, perhaps forgetting his keys, the wooden door was struck twice in quick succession, showing no patience at all. Only Huo Ye was left at home. He stood up from the sofa to open…

      by Volare Chapter 25: Accompaniment "Where are you?" Shen Tingyu's voice was tense, like a string ready to snap at any moment, impatience coming through the phone on the other end. Huo Ye answered honestly, "At home." "Send me the address," Shen Tingyu said, leaving no room for argument. Perhaps the sound of running water was too loud, Huo Ye suddenly found it hard to hear, so he slowly turned off the faucet with one hand and leaned against the door frame as he walked out, saying, "No need, it's nothing.…

      by Volare Chapter 26: The Accusation Huo Ye was under observation in the hospital for a week. During this time, he only maintained close contact with Song Jianlan and Xiong Ying through a few phone calls, assuring them not to worry, but he did not mention the issue of being expelled. Song Jianlan was sadder than ever, repeatedly telling him on the phone to study hard, to get into a good university in the future, to stay away from home, and to stay as far away from Huo Lijun as possible. Huo Lijun was not…

      by Volare Chapter 15 Equipment Room The sunset's afterglow cast a cold glimmer on the keyhole. The equipment room was tightly shut, sealed to perfection. On such an inappropriate day, it felt undeniably uncanny no matter how one looked at it. Huo Ye stood motionless, staring at the door lock, listening intently to the sounds coming from inside. He was sure that the previous sounds he heard were definitely not an auditory hallucination. After a few seconds, the barely audible sound of stifled sobbing indeed…

      by Volare Chapter 16: Secret Love The night had not fully descended, and the setting sun was as blood-red. The orange-red glow poured through the gaps in the window, creating patches on the ground. Countless dust particles danced in the air, giving the afterglow a tangible quality visible to the eye. With a "click," Huo Ye lit a cigarette and placed it between his lips. In the shadowy corner of the equipment room, the sparks flickered with a ghostly light, illuminating his nonchalant gaze. Shen Tingyu…

      by Volare Chapter 17: Sports Meeting It was as if it were just a tiny interlude, forgotten once the sun set that day. Whether it was coincidental or not, for a long time afterwards, the incident in the equipment room was glossed over. Time flew by as if driven by an impatient donkey, and after more than half a month of training, the sports meeting in early November finally commenced. November in Guangdong isn’t too cold; in fact, it can get quite warm when the sun comes out at two in the afternoon. This…

      by Volare Chapter 18: Hard to Comfort Behind the finish line platform, under everyone's gaze, the notorious bully at school was pinned to the wall, his hands restrained, appearing so obedient, small, and helpless. Huo Ye did not struggle at all, his body relaxed. When he looked up at others with his eyes, the outer corners of his eyes had a soft curve, appearing completely devoid of sharpness, his expression serious and focused. Such a gaze made Shen Tingyu have an illusion that in this moment, the one who…

      by Volare Chapter 19: Young Master "Gao Xiaoyuan, you're spacing out again." The dissatisfied complaints from her companions brought Gao Xiaoyuan back to reality. She refocused her gaze and noticed that the group competing in the long jump had already been replaced with another. Apologizing to her friends, Gao Xiaoyuan said she felt unwell and wanted to return to the classroom. Her companions expressed concern: "What’s wrong with you lately? You're always distracted. Is it because the family is putting…

      by Volare Chapter 20: Thorn Huo Ye asked Gao Xiaoyuan if she was afraid. Gao Xiaoyuan first nodded, then slowly shook her head after a moment. She gripped her phone tightly, her palms sweating uncontrollably, hesitating to say she would go back, discuss it, and think it over again. Huo Ye promised to give her one night to consider. Liao Zheng had harmed at least ten girls from the first year to now; they had endured so long because they were afraid of these embarrassing matters being brought to…
