Series: Singlehood Syndrome

When Xiang Mo returned to his bedroom after taking a shower, the person lying on the bed hadn’t left yet. He removed the towel around his waist and put on his underwear, revealing the alluring curve of his round buttocks as he bent down. It was a sight that was hard to look away from.…

If everyone could self-reflect, most of the conflicts in the world would not exist. Once, Xiang Mo went to the cinema alone, and there was a woman in her fifties sitting beside him. Near the end of the movie, the woman took out her phone and started making a call. The call went unanswered, and…

Perhaps noticing Xiang Mo’s displeasure, Du Chi quickly explained that he didn’t mean any offense. He argued that when sensuality intertwines with art, it no longer carries a vulgar connotation but becomes a refined taste. “Art requires this kind of taste,” Du Chi earnestly asserted. Though it might be a bit far-fetched, Xiang Mo found…

The old western-style house had a unique appearance, carrying more urban warmth than the cold high-rise buildings. However, it lacked parking spaces and modern facilities, making it less convenient for daily life compared to modern residential buildings. Its value as a residence was far less than its historical value. Most of the previous owners had…

The more obvious nonsense, the less Xiang Mo believed that anyone would take it seriously. In fact, the man in front of him indeed showed an incredulous expression, but his anger seemed to surpass everything else. Xiang Mo followed his gaze to his waist, where he noticed Du Chi’s hand casually resting there. It wasn’t…

Just after posting the recruitment notice, Mr. Li came to the studio. He was carrying fresh scallions, probably just back from the market. Despite the short trip, he was wearing shiny leather shoes, exuding an air of refinement and elegance. “Teacher Xiang, if you plan to replace me, you should at least tell me,” Mr.…

The human perception of beauty originated primarily from the human body. The ancient Greeks discovered the beauty of freedom and health in the human body, providing humanity with a starting point for the concept of beauty. Regardless of class, religion, or ethical considerations, the gaze upon the human body is a gaze upon beauty. Due…

The art studio offered free trial classes for new students, and Xiang Mo didn’t discuss the enrollment matter with Ye Xing. He simply allowed him to experience the class first. Ye Xing indeed had some basic skills; he quickly sketched a drawing in twenty minutes. Though the details were a bit rough, he grasped the…

A laid-back young man like Xiang Mo doesn’t need “best friends.” At this stage in his life, Xiang Mo became more selective about his friendships. Rather than focusing on material aspects, he valued the spiritual connection more. If someone couldn’t enrich his inner world and he had to be the one constantly providing insights, he…

As Xiang Mo descended the stairs, his thoughts gradually returned to a normal track. In fact, the events of today had shown some signs beforehand, but Xiang Mo thought Tan Song would stop at an appropriate point, so he chose to ignore it. The result was that the vague thoughts in his mind eventually turned…

Unlike ordinary chairs, the reclining chairs on the balcony were designed for leisure. The horizontal seat leaned backward, giving one the feeling of sinking into the chair when sitting completely inside it. Du Chi’s lower back was tightly pressed against the backrest, but his upper body leaned slightly forward, creating an angle of less than…

After leaving the “Eight Jins” restaurant, they encountered a rush of incoming customers. Du Chi took the initiative to walk ahead, blocking the dense crowd, and Xiang Mo followed behind with his head down. Initially, the path was clear, but he underestimated the customers’ craziness for good food. In the blink of an eye, he…

In the afternoon on a workday, there weren’t many students in the art studio, and today was especially quiet with only two students present. Both of them were girls. One was a university student from a nearby college who had been learning from Xiang Mo for some time now. The other was a new student…

Making eggplant dishes is more complicated than regular home-cooked dishes. If you don’t soften the eggplant by frying it at the beginning, it will be challenging to bring out the flavors later during the stir-frying process. Xiang Mo enjoys eating eggplant but doesn’t cook it often himself. One reason is that using too much oil…

Xiang Mo’s first kiss was probably during high school. Out of curiosity, he had kissed a male classmate, but neither of them felt anything special, so it ended without any further developments. Xiang Mo had pondered why there were no feelings during that kiss and concluded that he didn’t like the other boy. As a…

The two of them returned to their respective rooms, and Xiang Mo had a feeling that Du Chi actually understood everything and was intentionally being mischievous. It was like Sanmao, who knew he couldn’t be mischievous with Sanmei, but since the punishment was not severe, he would still act mischievous. Du Chi seemed to be…

When the afternoon class ended, Lao Li saw the portrait that Lao Zhang drew for him and nearly got so angry that he almost ended up in the hospital again. Finally, after sending off these two lively old men, the studio became peaceful. Meng Yun helped Xiang Mo tidy up the art supplies, while Sanmei…

Luo Yang brought a dozen small bottles of beer, and he mostly finished them himself. Xiang Mo wasn’t much of a drinker and had a low tolerance, so he only took one bottle of beer, which was now also empty. In this mildly intoxicated state, that part of the mind driven by primal desires, easily…

Back in the room, lying on the bed, the slight tipsiness seemed to dissipate at this moment. The light from the street lamps outside filtered through the sycamore leaves, casting faint shadows on the ceiling. The breeze gently swayed the shadows, causing the play of light and shadow in the room, which made Xiang Mo’s…

Even a social terror like Du Chi couldn’t help but hesitate when surrounded by over twenty people urging him to take off his clothes. Naturally, he wouldn’t give Du Chi a chance to back down and used his eyes to urge him a few more times. In the end, Du Chi reluctantly took off his…
