    • by DewdropTL — Tonight's weather was even better than usual. What Ming Chi saw on the way was a shallow beach. The terrain was flat, and the seawater was so clear that you could see the fine sand between the crevices of the stones. There was no wind, but being by the sea, the temperature at night was already very comfortable. Even the falling moonlight seemed cool. The manual navigation system mister was responsible for giving directions. They first turned back home to get new fireworks. Those fireworks were…
    • by DewdropTL — After his eighteenth birthday, the first thing Luo Zhi did was to get his driver's license. His birthday was when the summer sun had just started to get scorching hot. The timing was perfect—it was still a dozen or so days before the summer vacation, but the weather was already very hot. Not many people were willing to bake under the sun, so getting his license was very smooth. The day he got his driver's license, Luo Zhi treated himself to a huge table full of morning tea. His car had long…
    • by DewdropTL — The cruise ship would have stunning fireworks displays from time to time. They were held on clear, windless nights when the water's surface was calm, the view was at its best, and the sea was at its most tranquil and vast.

      ASHES CH86: End

      by DewdropTL — The cruise ship set sail at the end of the month. The weather that day was incredibly good. The sky was a vast, high blue, meeting the sea at the horizon. A cool breeze brushed past the ship's rail, bringing with it fresh, moist sea vapor. The waves surged, and seabirds darted through the wind, their calls crisp and clear. The hottest, most scorching part of summer had passed. The sun was no longer scorching but still exceptionally bright. It scattered on the sparkling waves, creating brilliant,…
    • by DewdropTL — After that, the irrelevant people never appeared again. Ming Lu took people to handle the matter. Zhao Lan's husband went along, and after coming back, he didn't leave her side for a moment, holding his wife's hand very tightly. "Little brother is quite amazing," Zhao Lan's husband told her. "He saw that something was wrong with the message at a glance." Zhao Lan's message hadn't mentioned anything else, only that she needed to prepare a bit more, that the food would be slow, and asked her husband…
    • by DewdropTL — The next morning, Zhao Lan was already sitting in the tea restaurant. She had arrived a full hour earlier than the appointed time, bringing all the gifts her family had prepared, yet she couldn't help but ask her husband, "Will little brother not want to come?" "He won't," her husband held her hand and answered her seriously, "Little brother is as brave as you are." Zhao Lan squeezed her husband's hand and carefully straightened her collar again. She looked out the window, then retracted her…
    • by DewdropTL — It was the first time Ming Chi had discovered that the cemetery's night view was actually beautiful. Of course, not within the grounds themselves—it was solemn and quiet there. From the outside, it looked more like an ornamental garden, and while it didn't feel oppressive at night, an empty silence was still unavoidable. Ming Chi remembered a good spot. He led Mr. Shadow around in a few circles, ending up on a semi-sloped hill behind the mountain. There was a patch of very soft grass there.…
    • by DewdropTL — They arrived at the cemetery at dusk. The rain had completely stopped. The sunset was bright, and the clouds that had not yet dispersed were dyed golden-red. This color also seeped into the light rays falling through the gaps in the clouds, and then dissolved with the light into the water droplets lingering on the tips of the grass. Everything it enveloped seemed exceptionally gentle. The rain had washed everything quite clean. Green grass surrounded the snow-white tombstone. The cemetery was on a…
    • by DewdropTL — Wheat bread is the most delicious bread. This conclusion might change at any time once Mr. Shadow learns to make other filled breads... but in any case, it should hold true for a while. After all, judging from the current evidence, Mr. Ming indeed had a lot of work to handle. After lunch, Ming Chi migrated to the study. Wrapped in the jacket, he closed his eyes again to the sound of the rain and the warm flames of the fireplace, having a very comfortable nap. When he woke up, the stack of…
    • by DewdropTL — This was an exceptionally peaceful sleep. The sound of the ocean tide was closer than when sleeping at the villa, so close it was tangible, almost as if it enveloped the dream. The cruise ship was docked at the port and was actually quite stable; the slight, imperceptible rocking became the best way to induce sleep. Ming Chi had no memory of when the sky brightened. He had a faint impression of having woken up, only to find he was no longer in bed, but still beside Mr. Shadow. Having…
