As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight spilled over the sea, they took their first photo together. Framed by the morning glow, the shimmering ocean behind them, they looked radiant, almost like a painting. And in that moment, the happiness on their faces was frozen in time. — After leaving the beach, they headed straight to Qiao Ziman's childhood home. A quick nap, and by the afternoon, moving day began. There wasn’t much to pack—just a few boxes of clothes and sentimental…-

Somewhere between breathless pauses, Qiao Ziman found herself crouching in front of Chi Yin’s safe. She retrieved a fresh box of finger condoms, carefully examining the instructions. Then, turning to Chi Yin, she asked with the utmost seriousness, "One or two?" Chi Yin blinked, momentarily thrown off. A second later, the flush behind her ears darkened. Awkwardly, she mumbled, "I don’t… have experience being on the receiving end." Why is she even asking this? Does Qiao Qiao even know what she’s…

"Qiao Qiao, you can stay as long as you want!" She hurried over and grabbed the suitcase leaning against the wall. "If you're in a bad mood, just rest in your room. I’ll bring the soup to you once it’s ready." Qiao Ziman grinned as she strolled back into her room, feeling quite pleased with herself. Until— Her smile froze. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw He Cuizhen reaching for her suitcase. "You just rest, I’ll unpack for you," her mom said, already pressing the button to open it. "No…

"Do what you want to do." Qiao Ziman stared intently at the screen, rereading the words over and over again. And then— Boom. A firework exploded in her mind, dazzling and uncontrollable. In an instant, she shot to her feet, grabbed her suitcase, and bolted toward the door. But just as she reached the entrance— She slowed down. Running out like this makes me look way too desperate. No dignity. Absolutely no dignity. She needed to stay cool. She needed to resist temptation. She couldn’t just…

Honestly, Ji Yun wasn’t. Not even a little. But for the sake of conversation, she humored her. "Alright, where are you hiding?" "You know how she loves playing mind games with me? Well, I played one right back at her! But listen, you cannot rat me out." Ji Yun sighed. "...Wouldn’t dare. I fear you more than I fear her at this point." Deciding to trust her one last time, Qiao Ziman lowered her voice. "The most dangerous place is actually the safest, right? She’d never expect that I didn’t…

Qiao Ziman hurried downstairs, hailed a taxi, and made a beeline for her mother’s house. Forty minutes later, she arrived at the front gate, dragging her overstuffed suitcase behind her. In the yard, He Cuizhen was scattering feed for the chickens when she spotted her daughter’s sudden arrival. She froze for a moment before asking, "What’s going on?" "Hey!" Qiao Ziman strode in like she owned the place. "Dearest mother, what kind of question is that? Isn’t this my home?" He Cuizhen put down the…

Qiao Ziman stared blankly at the ceiling, her tear-filled eyes unfocused as fragmented images flashed through her mind. Her body had been bound, powerless to resist. Struggling had been useless. Like a ship lost at sea, adrift without sails, she had been tossed higher and higher by the relentless waves. Drowned, submerged in that salty, humid ocean. Each time she surfaced for air, another wave crashed over her, dragging her down even deeper. "Chi Yin, stop..." "Stop." "What did you just call me?" "Yin…

Time felt as if it had been paused. Chi Yin sat there motionless, like a statue. Her black hair veiled her eyes, concealing not only her gaze but also the turbulent emotions surging within them. Qiao Ziman’s fingers trembled slightly as she gripped the bottle. Tilting her head back, she downed half of it in one go. The icy liquid slid down her throat, barely managing to extinguish the fire threatening to consume her from within. With a sigh, she reached out, tucking Chi Yin’s loose strands behind…

Their drinks clinked together. Beer burned down her throat. “Keep going.” “You had Ji Yun tip you off, you rushed over pretending to be my girlfriend… You knew exactly what you were doing, didn’t you? You were acting the whole time, weren’t you?” Chi Yin corrected her, “I was just going with the flow.” Ha. So she really had mastered The Thirty-Six Stratagems then. “Chi Yin, if you liked me, why didn’t you just say it? Why did you wait for me to confess first? I even bowed to you…

"I really want to see just how much Yin Yin has been keeping from me." Qiao Ziman swirled the wine in her glass before suddenly looking up at Ji Yun. "Yu Shuyan said Yin Yin joined the company because of me. What does that mean? Do you know anything about it?" Ji Yun froze for a moment, quickly lowering her gaze. She grabbed her glass and took a big gulp of alcohol before mumbling, "I'm going to the bar to get some ice." Without meeting Ziman's eyes, she turned abruptly and walked away. Watching Ji…
