“The email address and password, please.” Huo Youqiao stared directly into his eyes. “I’ll take care of everything from now on. You don’t need to worry about anything.” He paused for a moment before adding, “You’re not a bad person. Some dignity, you must reclaim.” Ye Zhi’s eyes felt a bit sore. No one had…

As soon as he felt better, Ye Zhi immediately took on the responsibility of cooking. That evening, he prepared a sumptuous dinner, causing Huo Ran to praise him non-stop with her mouth full of food. She then said, “Let Zhi Zhi take care of me, Daddy, can’t you hire him? Anyway, Zhi Zhi doesn’t have…

“Then what’s the big deal? Just a common cold? Let him go get his own shots and medicine. Does he expect me to come back and take care of him? Why are you calling me over such a trivial matter? Did he whine to you or something? Trust me, he’s tough. His crazy family hasn’t…

“Zhi Zhi is very gentle,” Huo Ran said earnestly, with the straightforwardness of a child. “Even though Daddy says Zhi Zhi is Uncle’s wife, Uncle never comes home, and Zhi Zhi doesn’t have a baby, so Zhi Zhi should be my mom. I’ll be your baby.” She threw herself into Ye Zhi’s arms, looking up…

Though Ye Zhi couldn’t fully recall the details of their interactions, fragmented memories remained in his mind, filling him with both surprise and fear. After responding to Huo Ran’s greeting, his first words to Huo Youqiao were, “I’m sorry for troubling you last night.” Huo Youqiao hadn’t expected this to be the first thing Ye…

The doctor’s words lingered in his mind, filling Huo Youqiao with guilt and discomfort. Ye Zhi’s poor diet was entirely his fault. Due to Huo Youqiao’s deliberate distancing, Ye Zhi had begun avoiding him, leaving early in the morning without time to make breakfast or pack a lunch, and returning so late that the food…

His voice was so faint that Huo Youqiao wouldn’t have heard it if the surroundings weren’t so quiet. No one is a fool; deliberate avoidance is something one can sense, especially since Huo Youqiao’s attitude was so clear, like he wanted to cut off all ties. He had noticed Ye Zhi’s reactions—this timid and self-conscious…

When Huo Youqiao saw Ye Zhi come in with the umbrella, he breathed a small sigh of relief. The rain was neither heavy nor light, but it was enough to drench someone if they walked through it. Huo Youqiao’s main concern was precisely this. Seeing Ye Zhi with the umbrella, some of his worry was…

Ye Zhi wasn’t very clever, but he quickly found the flaw in Huo Youqiao’s words. He had already hung the umbrella on the rack with the others. Normally, Huo Youqiao wouldn’t have noticed, so how did he know Ye Zhi had used an umbrella? Could it be that when he entered the courtyard, the man…

Now, everything has simply returned to square one. The worst part is that there would be no more ties, but he was fortunate to have one small cherished memory. He would hide it carefully, never allowing anyone to see or steal it again. When he boarded the bus, it was the last one on the…

It was clearly written casually, without any hint of affection, but Ye Zhi regarded it as very important. At the time, he carefully folded it up and later placed it in a compartment of his wallet. During the period when Huo Youqiao distanced himself from him, Ye Zhi treated that note as the only proof…

The company had indeed been struggling financially recently and needed to lay off employees. It’s just that they hadn’t decided who to lay off yet. Shen Feiyu’s mistake this time led to the supervisor placing the blame on him. When Ye Zhi was called out, his mind was still preoccupied with a bunch of numbers.…

Though not an accusation or criticism, it sounded like he was being blamed for acting on his own. Ye Zhi’s expression stiffened, an indescribable feeling surging up in his heart. He was timid by nature, easily yielding to others. Once his courage was shattered, it was difficult to gather again. So the words he wanted…

After Ye Wan left, the atmosphere at home didn’t improve. Even Huo Ran sensed something was wrong, so she became much quieter. However, after taking a shower, she still happily ran to Ye Zhi. “Zhi Zhi, let’s learn to sing together.” Ye Zhi was about to agree when Huo Youqiao spoke up, “Ranran, ask Aunty…

“Mom…” Ye Zhi hesitated for a while before calling out, feeling a bit timid even before speaking. This “mom” sounded somewhat guilty. Ye Wan stood here with a smiling face upon hearing the sound of the car. Seeing Huo Ran and Huo Youqiao behind her, she knew what was going on. Despite feeling unhappy inside,…

There were less than fifty of these cars in the entire city, so when one appeared here, Ye Zhi couldn’t help but take a couple of extra glances at it. “Brother Xiao Ye, is that someone you know?” Shen Feiyu, who was walking beside him, asked. The two of them took the loop line together…

The man’s eyes were bloodshot, with two flames of desire burning inside, threatening to consume his sanity. When Ye Zhi met his gaze, a shiver ran through his body, and his heart started pounding furiously. But this time, he tried hard not to look away. He was telling the other person that he was willing.…

The next morning, Ye Zhi didn’t see Huo Youqiao come downstairs. He didn’t dare to go up and check on him, so he simply prepared a larger breakfast and left ingredients for lunch before heading to work. After finishing his morning shift, he quickly left the office and took the circular line back home. He…

He might have been a bit too indulgent, daring to make his own requests to the other party, even though it was after being asked. Huo Youqiao said, “I like this piece too, but didn’t you say you preferred quieter music before?” “The Happy Shepherd” is a lively piece, with emotions building quickly. Although it’s…

“Yes, but I prefer quieter piano pieces.” “Piano pieces?” Ye Zhi’s face reddened slightly as he nodded gently, whispering, “Is that too old-fashioned?” Huo Youqiao chuckled and said, “Not at all, I quite like them too. And since it’s rare to have a break, I was actually planning to go to the piano room later…
