RESTRAINT Jiang Zhou had lost count of how many times he had been pushed to the boundary between consciousness and existence, and he couldn’t remember how much time had passed. Every time he reached that point, the belief he held so firmly would collapse. With enough shattering, that frantic, devout obsession became shaky and indistinct. After an unknown period, Shen Zhiyu released his grip and whispered a number in his ear. "Twenty-four times left." His wrists were chafed raw, showing circles of…

Grievance It took the three of them over two hours of combined effort to finally clear the fallen tree blocking the road to the side. Wang Lin wiped the sweat from his brow, looked at the clear path, and nodded. "That’s done! Thank you both very much!" The sun had risen higher, and the mist in the forest had completely dispersed. Wang Lin led them toward another mountain path. He pointed to a faintly visible trail down the mountain. "Follow this path straight down, and you should reach the foot of…

Inspection Jiang Zhou restrained himself, taking two steps back, his gaze sharply sweeping over Xu Binbin, who had already stood up. “You said he called you here?” Jiang Zhou repeated the boy’s accusation, his tone flat but carrying an immense, inexplicable pressure. “Then tell me the specific time, how he contacted you, what resources he promised, and what evidence you have?” Xu Binbin hadn't had time to fabricate so many details. Jiang Zhou’s barrage of questions made the already guilty…

Jiang Zhou pursed his lips, offering no reply. Shen Zhiyu pressed closer, unrelenting, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Jiang Zhou as if suddenly realizing something. “Speaking of which, CEO Jiang’s outfit reminds me of someone I used to know.” Someone he used to know? Did he figure it out? Jiang Zhou’s breath hitched slightly. He had left in a hurry, and the clothes he was wearing were the inner layers from the outfit he wore when he secretly visited Shen Zhiyu during his return to the…

Softness The mountain wind, carrying rain and mist, slammed heavily against the car window, making a dull thumping sound. The vehicle struggled to climb the winding mountain road. The layered peaks were shrouded in gray-white rain and fog, thick as ink. The wheels crushed through the mud, splashing mud onto the lower edge of the window, blurring the view. Jiang Zhou’s heart rose and fell with the car’s jolts. Since finishing Crazy Motorcycle, Shen Zhiyu had moved seamlessly into a new project,…

Sleeping Together The rain gradually stopped, and the sky completely darkened, the heavy twilight swallowing the mountain forest. Following the direction of the stream, they finally saw a faint, flickering yellow light in a deep mountain hollow. Leaving the cave, their phone signals returned. Jiang Zhou called Wei Yan to report that they were safe. The two walked toward the light and found it was a single-story house built against the mountain. A dark-skinned middle-aged man wearing an old army-green…

Initiative Jiang Zhou didn’t know how much more time had passed when he felt Shen Zhiyu’s breathing pattern change, no longer the long, even breaths of deep sleep. Jiang Zhou paused his movement, instinctively wanting to pull his hand back. But it was too late. Shen Zhiyu slowly shifted his shoulder, then seemed to wake up. He didn’t immediately turn over, maintaining his back-to-him position. His voice was thick and husky with the congestion of just waking up. “What time is it?” His tone…

Worry After the weekend ended, the boss’s concern about Shen Zhiyu’s activities became increasingly frequent, so much so that he would ask about him almost every hour. Wei Yan had just finished reporting on Shen Zhiyu’s work situation less than half an hour ago when he was called into the office again. He thought General Manager Jiang had other work arrangements, so he specifically brought his notebook in. To his surprise, as soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Zhou frowning deeply, staring intently…

Physical Therapy The morning sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting soft patches of light on the floor. Shen Zhiyu woke first. He looked down; Jiang Zhou was still asleep. His profile was buried in Shen Zhiyu’s neck, his breathing even, his sleeping face tranquil and more defenseless than it had appeared under the lights last night. This was the third time they had shared a bed, and it was the first time Shen Zhiyu had woken up to find Jiang Zhou lying so quietly in his arms. The…

Massage The car drove into the underground parking lot. The engine cut out, and the surroundings instantly fell silent. Jiang Zhou unbuckled his seatbelt and turned his head to look. Shen Zhiyu seemed to be asleep, his eyes closed, his breathing steady, but his brow was slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of fatigue and discomfort. The lights from the underground parking lot filtered through the car window, outlining his sharp jawline. Sitting in this position for too long in the car was uncomfortable…
