Series: The Wolf-Hearted Young Master Just Wants to Lie Flat

“How come business at our internet café got worse after the college entrance exams ended? Where did all those students who used to shout about spending three whole days gaming after Gaokao go?” The internet café owner looked out at the nearly empty hall and voiced his confusion. There was the programmer who got laid…

The now middle-aged dean was still surprisingly quick on his feet, thanks to ten years of cardio chasing delinquents around the school’s woods. Armed with his trusty little flashlight, his accuracy was unparalleled. As expected, the Bald Eagle chased them out of the café—White Hair followed behind, calling out: “Ah Huai! You coming back for…

Almost nine-tenths full, Qi Xu finally put down his chopsticks and poured himself a glass from the wine in front of Shen Fengkai. Shen Zhuohai and Zeng Yun looked at him in surprise again. Zeng Yun cautiously called out, “Xiao Xu.” After pouring his wine, Qi Xu poured for the Shen couple as well, “Mom,…

 “I have a younger relative at home. You two are both workaholics, so you must have something in common. But he’s abroad right now. When he’s back, I’ll definitely introduce you.”  “Old Qi, you free now? Come by my shop. That younger relative I mentioned before just got back. Come meet him, and we’ll have…

The college entrance exam results were out. Shen Zeyu sat on the sofa with a laptop in front of him, texting friends on his phone. He tilted his head and told Shen Fengkai, “Ah Huai says the website’s lagging, and it’s stuck for me too. What should we do?” Shen Fengkai ruffled his hair and…

After learning the other party was from Shen Corporation, Li Kaixing eagerly dragged a plastic chair to the doorstep. “The place is a mess. Let’s talk right here. Real pros never complain about their environment.” Qi Xu sat down, taking in Li Kaixing’s living conditions. A typical one-room rental with shared bathroom, kitchen, and balcony.…

Since Shen Zeyu returned from Germany, he kept appearing in the public eye as usual—attending alumni gatherings, friendly tennis matches, and so on. His circle of close friends still surrounded him, just like before. On the other hand, Qi Xu hadn’t shown up anywhere. He’d been back with the Shen family for over half a…

“Ah Huai, can you hurry up a bit? How do you still have time to stop and admire flowers?” Xu Yichen urged, glancing back. Behind him, Xie Huai leaned in to look at a rose covered in water droplets. He flicked one off with his fingertip before looking up, satisfied. Xie Huai held a gift…

Qi Xu zipped down his jacket halfway and placed his hand on his shirt, then turned to meet Xie Huai’s straightforward gaze. Xie Huai asked with genuine concern and warmth, “Need me to help?” Qi Xu coldly refused, “No.” Seeing no sign that Xie Huai would withdraw his gaze, Qi Xu took off his jacket.…

What happened tonight caught the attention of the Fang family elders. At first, everyone thought it was just some childish squabble, but when they saw the bruises on Song Ruoming’s face and realized this might involve a civil case, with all the young masters and misses present, no mistakes could be allowed at the Fang…

That night, Qi Xu showered and went straight to bed. The night before, he’d been on a voice call with Li Kaikai, talking about their newly founded company until late. Fresh out of college, the kid was full of energy, always eager to share his grand plans whenever he got a chance. Qi Xu, on…

Whether Shen Zeyu believed it or not, Qi Xu had no other explanation. Might as well see if Didi could really get you a Rolls-Royce. Zeng Yun quietly watched Qi Xu for a long moment at the door, seemingly unable to figure out why he came out of the Xie family’s car. As Qi Xu…

Qi Xu didn’t just stay—he even took the initiative to practice calligraphy in Grandpa’s study. Though he was a beginner, his way of holding the brush was completely wrong, and he made a mess with the ink everywhere. Every day, the servants could hear Grandpa scolding loudly in the study. “Wrong again, wrong again! How…

Finally, Qi Xu closed his eyes and downed the tonic in one go. When he opened them, he met the eyes on the screen—those eyes with crow’s feet even without smiling—and behind the phone was Xie Huai, watching like it was a show. “Has to drink it with someone watching him, really can’t be left…

Half an hour later, Xu Yichen, Fang Qian, and Jiang Zimu strode into the Xie estate with great fanfare. Their arrival caused a commotion equivalent to about thirty people. Nan Feng trailed behind closely. “Young Master Xu, Young Master Jiang, Miss Fang, allow me to report your arrival inside.” Xu Yichen quickened his pace and…

Qi Xu opened his eyes only half an hour later. Sleeping somewhere other than his own place, he hadn’t rested well and hadn’t reached deep sleep. The room was quiet, peaceful. Outside in the courtyard, clear bird songs echoed in his ears. The four people who had been here earlier were nowhere to be seen.…

Inside the private room, colorful lights flickered overhead. Xu Yichen was at the center, surrounded by a crowd of men and women. “Brother Chen, what’s the event tonight?” “Celebrating the fact that we only have half a month left of summer vacation.” Everyone frowned, their faces full of resistance. “Don’t bring up the one thing…

Qi Xu struggled to stand, leaning half his body against the wall. A thin sheen of sweat broke out on his forehead from the exertion. He closed his eyes, feeling the sweat wetting his eyelashes, then exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes with a smirk. “Might as well have brought your…

The next day at noon, Qi Xu got up and washed up. He took the elevator downstairs, planning to head to the main hall for lunch. When he arrived, the dining table was already set, and Old Master Shen sat in the main seat. Uncle Li saw Qi Xu come down and quickly went to…

Qi Xu fiddled with the game console for quite a while but didn’t figure it out. He wasn’t really a gamer—single-player games were just a way to kill time. He opened the finance app to check his investment returns and saw the steadily increasing daily profits, satisfied as he put down his phone. Using his…
