Had she gone too far? No, that didn’t seem right. If she remembered correctly, Ji Yun had never backed down from a fight—in any sense. Seeing the tension in Ji Yun’s shoulders, Yu Shuyan felt an inexplicable sense of unease. Without thinking, she called out, “Stop right there.” Ji Yun halted, turning slightly. “Hm?” Yu Shuyan glanced toward the bar, her voice lowering a notch. “…Let me buy you a drink?” Ji Yun’s response was cold. “No need.” She turned back toward the…-

After some serious mental gymnastics, she finally figured it out. That bird has to be none other than her so-called ‘peacock,’ right? The phone rang for a long time before Ji Yun finally picked up. She sounded half-asleep. “What’s up, Qiao Qiao?” Qiao Ziman poured herself a glass of water and sank into the couch. “It’s late—why are you still in bed?” The line crackled, then Ji Yun groaned, her voice still groggy. “Had a little too much to drink last night… Don’t even get me…

She ended up taking a much-needed nap. When she woke up, the scent of home-cooked food filled the air, instantly lifting her mood. The embarrassment and secondhand social death she had suffered earlier? Almost completely forgotten. Stretching lazily, she slid into her slippers and stepped out of the bedroom. What greeted her was a scene straight out of a family drama—Chi Yin, her mom, and Grandma chatting and laughing at the table, the atmosphere warm and inviting. Something in Qiao Ziman’s chest…

Qiao Ziman’s gaze was locked onto that line of text. She silently repeated I am the top three times in her head. With a slap of her notebook, she let out an eerie laugh—it sounded just a little unhinged. A moment later, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Ji Yun. If her mom wouldn’t buy them, she’d get them herself. Ji Yun replied instantly. Then, just as quickly, she unsent the message. Qiao Ziman stared at the screen without blinking. Ha. Too late. I saw it. Is my image in Ji…

"You can get up now. I accept." Qiao Ziman wavered, her vision going blank. She had succeeded in confessing… so why did she suddenly feel like dying? Chi Yin took the flowers from her hands and reached out to pull her up. "Qiao Qiao?" Qiao Ziman remained frozen, her knees feeling as if they had taken root in the ground. She couldn’t move—not even an inch. If possible, she wanted to stay kneeling forever. Until the end of time. Until the seas dried up. Until she became a statue. The world around…

Qiao Ziman didn’t say a word, and no one dared to speak either. When they reached the door, she suddenly stopped and pulled her sunglasses down slightly, carefully sizing up He Cuizhen and Chi Yin. Seeing that neither of them were injured, Qiao Ziman let out a sigh of relief. Then, she turned to He Cuizhen with a serious expression. “Mom!” He Cuizhen lowered her eyes and remained silent. “What am I supposed to say to you? Can’t you control your temper? You’re not getting any younger. What if…

Over the next day and night, Chi Yin diligently woke her up a few times, coaxing her to drink some water and eat a little food. Each time, however, Qiao Ziman would fall back into a deep sleep, completely drained. It wasn’t until a full day and night had passed that Qiao Ziman finally woke up, groggy but feeling a bit more like herself. Her hand automatically reached for her phone. As the screen lit up, her bleary eyes focused on the notifications. Dozens of missed calls filled the display—all of…

“So, how are you preparing for it?” Qiao Ziman slammed her hand down on the table, irritated. “Prepare for what? Do you think I’ve had time to prepare these past few days?” Ji Yun couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. See? The truth’s coming out now. Qiao Ziman took a bite of porridge, savoring the fresh, savory flavor. She couldn’t help but sigh in satisfaction. “Delicious.” She added, “Go grab the fruit from the fridge. I can’t reach it.” Ji Yun silently clicked her tongue. I…

“What are you doing?” Qiao Ziman asked, her tone sharp as she stared at Chi Yin with visible suspicion. Chi Yin met her gaze, exasperation flickering across her face, and let out a silent sigh. “What I meant is that you should take a proper rest,” she explained calmly. Qiao Ziman’s eyes widened in disbelief, her expression practically shouting, I don’t believe you! Chi Yin reached out, intending to comfort her, but Qiao Ziman swiftly dodged her hand. Undeterred, Chi Yin continued,…

Heat spread between them, an almost tangible intensity filling the air. Each breath Chi Yin exhaled felt like a wisp of cloud brushing against Qiao Ziman’s skin, leaving her trembling in its wake. Biting down on her lip to suppress a cry, Qiao Ziman left faint teeth marks behind, a testament to how hard she was holding back. Chi Yin, noticing this, caught Qiao Ziman’s lower lip between her own, soothing the marks with a gentle kiss. Qiao Ziman instinctively arched her graceful neck back, her hands…
