      by Volare Chapter 19 When Gu Xiuyi returned home, Ji Ruan was on a video call with Han Xiaolin. On the table was a notebook, and the large red letters of the title struck Gu Xiuyi's eyes directly— Essential Items List for Living on Campus! This line was too big, too red, and too glaring, causing Gu Xiuyi to feel dizzy for a moment. The culprit, Ji Ruan, was sitting in a chair, dressed in pajamas, with messy hair and blinking his big eyes in confusion. "Why are you back?" Ji Ruan stood up and…

      by Volare Chapter 20 The home that Gu Xiuyi referred to was not the villa that Ji Ruan was familiar with, but the apartment he stayed in most often.

As Ji Ruan stepped through the door and barely had time to glance around the living room, he suddenly covered his mouth and sneezed several times. Gu Xiuyi placed a pair of slippers in front of him, pushing his shoulder forward, "Change into…

      by Volare Chapter 21 Ji Ruan caught a cold again. Waking up in the morning, things didn’t feel right; the mosquito net above him swayed more violently than when he had low blood sugar. Ji Ruan closed his eyes to pause for a moment, then opened them again, but it didn’t help much. His head was spinning, and his temples throbbed painfully. He popped a lozenge in his mouth, sat up with his back against the wall for a while, and the dizziness eased a bit, so he slowly got out of bed. Because he felt…

      by Volare Chapter 11 At the dining table, Ji Ruan finally met Gu Xiuyi's elder brother Fang Qiming, who lacked any blood relation, and his temperamental father Gu Zhaoxu. Both of them had sour expressions. According to family hierarchy, Gu Zhaoxu sat in the main seat, while Fang Qiming was seated at the far corner, even farther away than Ji Ruan. Fang Lan was still the most attentive, her laughter filling the table as she served food. “Xiuyi, it’s rare for you to be back, eat more, these are all your…

      by Volare Chapter 12 “Brother, no, no, no, I didn’t do anything!” Gu Xiuli was so scared by that glance that he trembled all over, following Gu Xiuyi and trying to explain. Gu Xiuyi stepped over the shattered glass and walked to Ji Ruan's side. Ji Ruan looked up at him, then suddenly turned his head away in restraint, tears pooling in his big, glistening eyes before falling down. What a heart-wrenching scene. Gu Xiuyi’s eyes were filled with Ji Ruan’s tear-streaked cheeks and reddened nose. His…

Ji Ruan struggled through the writhing crowd to reach the safety corridor, pressing his phone to his ear trying to listen carefully: “What—did—you—say?!” There was silence on the other end for two seconds.

      by Volare Chapter 15 Gu Xiuyi was right. Ji Ruan not only lost his voice, but also his strength. That night, Ji Ruan slept uneasily. Although he had been exhausted all day and fell asleep quickly from fatigue as soon as he got into bed, he could not sleep soundly. He felt uncomfortable and, in the middle of the night, suddenly woke up with a start. In the moment he woke up, it was dark in front of him. He couldn't feel the streetlights outside, nor could he see the small night light on the table. He had…

      by Volare Chapter 16 Before his discharge, Gu Xiuyi arranged a comprehensive physical examination for Ji Ruan. The examination required fasting in the morning, so Ji Ruan was dragged out of bed just as the sky was brightening, making rounds in various departments, feeling so hungry that his eyes were filled with stars. Leaning against the headboard while watching Gu Xiuyi, he felt as if the man's face rose to the sky one moment and fell to the ground the next, making him dizzy, and eventually, he could only…

The secretary from Gu Xiuyi’s office looked exactly like the ones in the novel—beautiful and graceful. As soon as she saw Ji Ruan, she flashed a very pleasing smile: “Hello, Mr. Ji. Nice to meet you for the first time. You can call me Xiao Ya.” Ji Ruan had just gotten out of the car and was blinded by the sunlight; he raised his hand to shield his forehead and smiled back at Xiao…
