The amusement park closest to Heting Club was an hour and a half drive away. Fu Xuanliao, sitting in the passenger seat, started dozing off as soon as they got in the car. When he woke up, they were almost there, and the rain outside had stopped. "Don't say I didn't warn you," Fu Xuanliao said with a yawn. "Since it just rained, most of the rides at the amusement park are probably closed." Shi Meng was driving, his eyes fixed on the road ahead: "Mhm." Fu Xuanliao actually didn't want to go. He knew…-

There was nowhere to sit, so the two of them found a sheltered corner by a wall outside the courtyard, standing face to face a short distance apart. "Your dad... is he home?" Yang Youlan asked. Shi Meng nodded: "Yes." The woman shifted a small step closer to the wall: "When you came out, did you alert anyone else?" Shi Meng thought for a moment: "No." Yang Youlan belatedly realized she looked like a thief and quickly explained: "You know, your dad doesn't want me getting too close to you." "Mhm." Shi…

That night, Fu Xuanliao slept extremely restlessly. When he woke up with a start in the middle of the night, the words "don't forget me" still echoed in his ears. He went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face twice before he truly cleared his head. Returning to the suite, he picked up his phone and saw several messages from his mother, Jiang Rong. —Are you asleep? —Mom just wanted to let you know that I’ve already discussed it with your father. We will visit the Shi family next…

Chapter 67: Extra 3: Good Times (Free Chapter) Shi Meng didn’t like accompanying Fu Xuanliao to social engagements. Strictly speaking, Shi Meng disliked businessmen. They were either cunning or treacherous, slick or shifty-eyed, reeking of money—none of them were good people. Jiang Xue was the exception. Fu Xuanliao was also, barely, the exception. Therefore, whenever Fu Xuanliao was shuttling between various conference rooms, so busy that sitting down for a proper meal was a luxury, Shi Meng…

Chapter 66: Extra 2: The Years Between That spring, Shi Meng received a new car, a gift from Fu Xuanliao. Shi Meng’s birthday was in November, still months away, and they didn't celebrate any particular anniversaries. When asked about the reason for the gift, Fu Xuanliao countered, "Can't I give a gift just because?" It seemed no one had ever decreed otherwise. Shi Meng, understanding, shook his head. "Thank you." Perhaps not expecting Shi Meng to accept so readily, Fu Xuanliao couldn't help but…

Chapter 65: Extra 1: Those Young Days When others learned to paint, it was either because they liked it or because their parents forced them. Fu Xuanliao was different; he learned to paint to slack off. The art room at Third High School was located on the second floor of the comprehensive building, a spot that was neither too high nor too low, making it convenient for being late or leaving early. Fu Xuanliao signed up during the first semester of eleventh grade, and from then on, he squeezed in among a…

That night, the two of them didn't separate for a moment, moving from the bathroom to the floor-to-ceiling window outside, and finally to the bed. When dawn approached, Shi Meng was utterly exhausted, unable to even open his eyes. Although Fu Xuanliao still had energy, he didn't want to completely wear out his little mushroom in one go. He leaned against the headboard, offering his arm as a pillow for Shi Meng, his restless fingers playing with Shi Meng's hair. "How about I get a buzz cut?" Fu Xuanliao…

Back at the hotel, Fu Xuanliao ordered hangover soup for Shi Meng. The sweet and sour taste was surprisingly appetizing. Shi Meng hadn't eaten much all evening, focusing on drinking, and now felt a little hungry after the soup. He grabbed the chestnuts he hadn't finished in the car that afternoon and continued eating. Since Fu Xuanliao didn't need to drive now, he rolled up his shirt sleeves and helped peel them. At first, he peeled them and placed them on a small plate, then into Shi Meng's palm, and…

In the end, they didn't make it to the art exhibition because Pan Jiawei took on a last-minute project that required him to travel out of town with his mentor. Pan Jiawei on the phone sounded like he was about to cry, but Fu Xuanliao, hearing the news, laughed heartily. Shi Meng caught him red-handed when he suddenly turned around. Fu Xuanliao quickly dropped his smile, cleared his throat, and said, "Since the tickets are already bought... how about the two of us go?" Fu Xuanliao ultimately got his wish…

The snow fell all night. Shi Meng slept late and woke up late, so it was already noon when he went downstairs. Li Bihan came out of the kitchen. Seeing Shi Meng standing in the living room looking around as if searching for someone, she said, "He's outside building a snowman." Shi Meng walked to the window and looked out. Sure enough, he saw Fu Xuanliao squatting in the yard, his back to the house, tinkering with something. As he watched, a jacket was draped over his shoulders from behind. "Go play,"…
