“…” “Were you drunk?” “…” Song Yi closed her eyes, biting her lip. Even without answering, she knew her lies had been exposed. Si Gui lowered her head, ready to make notes. Zhen Yi’s thoughts flashed quickly, and she immediately intervened. “Officer Si just mentioned that the polygraph was meant to repeat the questions asked during the interrogation. If Song Yi is a suspect, then present the evidence!” She stared intently at Song Yi. The latter quickly caught on—she wasn’t…-

“What counts as suspicious?” Song Yi asked. “Someone in a hurry.” “Well, the restroom is over there. It wouldn’t be unusual for someone to rush,” she replied, skilfully deflecting the question. Officer Lin, realising he was being sidetracked, pressed directly, “Describe anything you saw.” “The hallway was dimly lit. I glanced over but couldn’t be certain.” “So, you did see someone?” “I saw a shadow.” Song Yi had seen a person, but she also noticed their shadow on the…

Zhen Yi’s brow twitched: Could they not flirt in a more appropriate setting? “Nervousness and lying are different…” Yan Ge, surprisingly patient, began to explain the technicalities to Song Yi. His naturally deep and smooth voice made even unfamiliar terms sound approachable and not cold. After about a minute, Zhen Yi suddenly realized that even when they were dating back then, he never talked to her for this long. Every conversation had been limited to a few words, as if saying one more word to…

“Occupation?” “Actress.” “Were you at the Ecstasy club on the night of April 28th?” “Yes.” “Do you go there often?” “I wouldn’t say so.” It was Song Yi’s first time at the club. If she had answered, “It was my first time,” it would have raised suspicion and made her look guilty. But if she used vague terms like, “I don’t think I go there often,” it could invite further questioning. Zhen Yi had crafted the negative response carefully to avoid pitfalls. Before…

“Are you just realizing that now? Seriously…” Zhen Yi’s mouth hung open in disbelief, then her eyes lit up with a mischievous idea. “I could lend you the money, but I don’t lend money to strangers.” “…” “Hehe, but if I were your girlfriend, that would be a different story!” “…” “Hey, don’t walk away! Yan Ge, wait for me! You’re walking home? Great, how about I escort you? What if someone tries to rob you again? You don’t have money? What if they rob you for your…

Her thoughts seemed to waver for a moment, and then she drifted into the most peaceful dream, feeling relaxed and content. Suddenly, she saw Yan Ge at sixteen, much taller than he had been at twelve. He was wearing a blue-black velvet coat with dark red cord ties and ivory-colored toggles—delicate and beautiful. (She was surprised she remembered such details.) In the southern city of Shen City, the dense trees were everywhere; at night in winter, the streetlights filtered through the shadows of the…

“Next time, then." Song Yi said. “Lawyer Zhen, I’ve recommended you to many friends. When they run into trouble, you’ll be the first person they think of.” Zhen Yi smiled modestly and explained, “I don’t handle civil or commercial cases. I specialize in criminal cases related to personal injury. So, if you guys end up dealing with murder, violence, or rape, be sure to come to me.” Song Yi: “…” Si Gui turned her head away, her shoulders shaking with laughter. “…I’ll keep that…

“None of your business." Zhen Yi raised an eyebrow. “Even if I burn my money, I’ll do it with a clear conscience.” “Bitch!” Lin Ziyi was practically fuming with rage. But even as he hurled insults, Zhen Yi remained calm and indifferent, her gaze filled with disdain. He suddenly thought of Tang Shang, and how he always crumbled in front of women like this. These were the kinds of people he wanted to destroy. “To help you sue me for harassment, I’ll leave you some evidence." a sinister…

“Huh?” Sure enough, it was specially made with xylitol. Who could be so thoughtful? On the table, there were also a few jars of nuts: walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, and macadamia nuts. Each glass jar had a sticky note with elegant handwriting, saying, “Three a day.” Zhen Yi returned the plate to her grandfather and asked, “Who was that person just now?” Her grandfather had long since retired, so it couldn’t have been one of his students. Plus, the man had been abroad for many years. Her…

In the K City, April brought frequent drizzle. It was the afternoon class break, and students dashed across the campus, holding their books and backpacks over their heads to shield them from the rain. Zhen Yi stepped into a puddle as she hurried to take shelter under the big tree at the alley entrance, raising her head to see tender green buds sprouting from the branches and the vast northern sky above. At the end of the alley stood an old small building from the late Qing era and early Republic era, with…
