    • IRHT CH37: Extra Cover
      by DewdropTL — In the year Lin Congzhi turned 29, Xin Jue roped him into helping with the art exam prep course once again. Inside the training studio, he spotted a familiar face among the sea of students. Out of everyone sitting low to the ground, this particular student looked as though she was trying to shrink right under her drawing board. Lin Congzhi composed his breathing, turned around, and walked over to Xin Jue. Xin Jue raised his head in confusion: “Huh?” “Lu Jue? She’s repeating the year…

      by DewdropTL — Lin Congzhi was thinking about buying a car. Although public transit in Yucheng was highly convenient—taking less than five minutes to walk from their villa to the subway entrance—getting around on rainy or snowy days was still tricky whenever Xiao Jingwen couldn't free up time to chauffeur him. At dinner that evening, Lin Congzhi mentioned his intention to purchase a vehicle. Xiao Jingwen looked up: "No problem. Which model do you like?" "Not really looking at anything fancy," Lin Congzhi…

      by DewdropTL — “Student!” Someone shouted from behind Lin Congzhi. He heard it, but he didn’t stop walking. This was a university campus after all; if you shouted "student" here, it was entirely reasonable for eight hundred people to turn around. So Lin Congzhi didn't pay it any mind, nor did he think they were calling for him. Lin Congzhi put in his earphones, put on a live version of Antologia, and continued walking toward the campus stationery store. Class had just let out, and students downstairs beneath…

      IRHT CH32 Cover
      by DewdropTL — Xiao Jingwen froze. For a moment, he didn't know what expression to put on. He had teased him like this before, but that was a very long time ago. Lin Congzhi was born with naturally upturned lips. If he deliberately wanted to smile sweetly, all he had to do was narrow his eyes slightly, look into the other person's eyes, and curve the corners of his mouth upward. There was no way Xiao Jingwen could keep this meeting going any longer—it had been over an hour anyway, which was more than…

      by DewdropTL — Before long, Xiao Jingwen’s phone vibrated. While the CEO was feeling sweet inside, thinking, Ah, my boyfriend really pays attention to me all the time; as soon as I left a comment, he sent me a private message, he switched back to his chat list... The person messaging him was Zhang Miao. Xiao Jingwen’s smile instantly vanished. : Mr. Xiao, do you like that painting? Our Teacher Lin has never done a red-background piece before!

      IRHT CH34 Cover
      by DewdropTL — The weather stayed sunny for only a single morning. At noon, Lin Congzhi and Xin Jue had a quick lunch at the convenience store downstairs from the art studio and chatted about the current status of their students. It was now June, and the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) scores would be released in two days. Those retaking the classes right now were students who already knew they hadn't passed the school-specific artistic entrance exams—no matter what score they got on the Gaokao, they…

    • IRHT CH36: Extra Cover
      by DewdropTL — “Can I go to work now?” “Switch to this one.” Lin Congzhi scrutinized him, handing over another dark-grey horizontally striped scarf. Xiao Jingwen took it, removed the one around his neck, and put on the one he was handed. Standing in the walk-in closet, Lin Congzhi squinted his eyes slightly. Squinting to observe a picture is a habit of every art student—sometimes art studios are cramped without enough space to step back, so squinting helps to blur the vision. Lin Congzhi pressed his…

      IRHT CH21 Cover
      by DewdropTL — A piece of laver floated in the wonton soup. Lin Congzhi scooped it up with a spoon and took a sip along with the broth. He didn't express an opinion. Xiao Jingwen’s sickly possessiveness always came under such reasonable pretexts. Lin Congzhi was a fairly lazy person, so he didn't mind having someone keep his life perfectly organized. The two of them had never argued over this kind of matter. With nothing left to say, Xiao Jingwen had no reason to linger. He stood up from the sofa, preparing to…
