Chapter 43
Returning from the Du family’s house in the evening, Xiang Mo and Du Chi went to a nearby shopping mall near the old mansion. Previously, Xiang Mei had mentioned meeting some old friends during this trip back to the country, but she was actually attending a university alumni event at a five-star hotel the next…

Chapter 44
As the entertainment program on stage began, Du Chi, dressed in a black suit, arrived at the alumni gathering. The well-cut suit highlighted his figure, making him look more upright. Compared to his usual appearance of leisurely strolling around in flip-flops, he seemed like a completely different person. Xiang Mei waved at Du Chi with…

The phone placed on the bedside vibrated, and Xiang Mo casually picked it up to check. He found a message from the “相亲相爱一家人” (Loving Family) group chat. In addition to the seven words in the group chat title, there were red, yellow, blue, and purple hearts. Before seeing the title changed like this, Xiang Mo…

Chapter 41
The time to return home with Du Chi was set for this Saturday. It was said that only on that day his father would have time. Xiang Mo didn’t necessarily want to hold the art exhibition at Fang He Art Gallery. Back then, he used to be proud and believed that if he were to…

Du Chi’s villa is located in a wetland park in the city center, with a large artificial lake just outside the door. Occasionally, you can even see egrets flying by. The car slowly drove through the open area and entered the private residential area in a corner of the park. Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet,…

Chapter 40
Xiang Mo’s mother, Xiang Mei, was a freelance writer who lived abroad for most of the time after Xiang Mo came of age. Her personality was confident and bold, living life on her own terms. If Xiang Mo was an unmeltable iceberg, then she was a fiery blaze. As the saying goes, the apple doesn’t…

The flag of singlehood waved fervently under the moonlight, aiming to capture Xiang Mo’s attention and remind him of the beauty of being single. The sense of loneliness was nearly negligible, and freedom and happiness were the main priorities. Therefore, it would be best if Du Chi’s words of “a long time” were not a…

Chapter 38
When Xiang Mo’s parents divorced, he was just starting primary school and didn’t have much understanding of many things. Afterward, his mother had intermittent relationships with several men, but none of them lasted long. During that time, Xiang Mo thought that marriage was meaningless and that love would be buried in the grave of marriage.…

Chapter 37
The thoughts in the mind are one thing, and the actual feelings are another. Xiang Mo thought he wouldn’t mind if Du Chi sent Ye Xing away, but when he saw the two of them chatting on the street, he realized that he wasn’t as magnanimous as he thought. No matter how reassuring Du Chi…

Chapter 36
It was just a passing thought to hold an art exhibition, and Xiang Mo would never seriously consider it. Even if he really wanted to hold an exhibition, he would never involve Du Chi in it. Just like naming the studio, career and emotions should not be mixed. Du Chi’s figure drawing still wasn’t finished.…

Chapter 35
Xiang Mo couldn’t finish the drawing, and couldn’t even get the basic shapes right. A large dog transformed into a mad dog and repeatedly told Xiang Mo not to move, but how could a mad dog be controlled? The dog gnawed Xiang Mo to the bones. Xiang Mo didn’t expect that his unexpected actions would…

Chapter 34
Students rarely arrive on time at the studio, especially on weekends. It’s common for them to show up around half past ten when the studio opens at ten. At this moment, there was only one student on the first floor, and Meng Yun could handle it perfectly fine. Xiang Mo greeted her and then went…

Chapter 33
Philosophers need solitude every day, and dog owners need to walk their dogs every day. Xiang Mo just hasn’t developed the habit of taking the dog for a walk by himself yet. Occasionally, he forgets that Sanmao needs to go out every day. However, he knows deep down that unless it’s something very urgent, nothing…

Chapter 32
The old mansion district had no parking spaces, so Du Chi parked the car in a nearby shopping mall’s underground parking lot. The distance from the mall to their home was only about one kilometer, but due to the traffic jam they experienced earlier, it was already past 7 PM. Now, if they were to…

Chapter 31
The restroom was filled with various visual illusions to match the theme of the exhibition. Nuts lying flat on the mirror stood up, and black chess pieces became white in the reflection. Each object required careful observation to appreciate the designer’s ingenuity. When Xiang Mo’s figure drawing was exhibited here, the museum had displayed various…

Chapter 30
At eight in the morning, the sunlight disturbed Xiang Mo’s sleep, and he couldn’t fall back asleep. He lay idle in bed, listening to the melodious birdsong outside the window. In the kitchen, the usual sounds of cooking could be heard—the sizzling of the frying pan, probably frying eggs since there was no bacon in…

Chapter 29
The evening “exercise” started early and ended early. By the time the two had moved from Du Chi’s bedroom to the bathroom, and then from the bathroom to Xiang Mo’s bedroom, it was only midnight. Outside the window, the streets were enveloped in silence, with only the streetlights casting a quiet glow. This time was…

Chapter 28
As the focus of his sight followed Du Chi’s figure, disappearing behind the small courtyard door, Xiang Mo suddenly felt a bit lost. He subconsciously wanted to follow, but his wrist was suddenly pulled by someone. Beside him, Qian Kun looked displeased, furrowing his eyebrows slightly and saying, “Darling?” His raised tone carried a hint…

Chapter 27
Not long after Aunt Zhou left, Xiang Mo received an unfamiliar call. The caller ID didn’t show “harassing call,” so he casually answered the phone, only to find that it was Qian Kun. “Baby, did you receive the flowers?” Glancing at the nine fresh red roses on the table and then at the students earnestly…

Chapter 26
Every morning, the vegetable market is bustling with shouts and bargaining voices. In the small park next to the market, Lao Zhang is doing chest expansion exercises while asking Lao Li, who is exercising his wrists next to him, “Why didn’t we see Xiao Du today?” “Oh, that’s right.” Lao Li stopped and looked around.…
