Gu Yuanting suddenly found the wooden carving in his hand prickly and uncomfortable. He placed it on the table beside him, the lingering sensation of its rough edges still tingling in his palm. Su Yiran looked at Gu Yuanting expectantly, hoping Ting-ge would be pleased. The name "Yi Ting" was originally a combination of their two names. It held special meaning. Now that Ting-ge was no longer running the shop with him, making this figure they crafted together the store’s mascot felt just…-

The next morning, on his way to the shop, Su Yiran stopped by a digital store by the roadside and bought a phone stand and a microphone, all in preparation for his live streaming setup. Around 2 p.m., when there were no customers in the shop and things were quiet, he began setting up for his livestream. These days, getting into livestreaming was quite simple. You just needed to register on a platform, apply to become a streamer, and have a phone and maybe a microphone—some people didn’t even use…

Getting Ting-ge’s affirmation and support made Su Yiran genuinely happy. He discussed his thoughts about the potential contract with Gu Yuanting, mentioning that his senior had said she was free tomorrow afternoon, so he planned to treat her to some afternoon tea to finalize the contract details. When Gu Yuanting heard Su Yiran mention that senior, he frowned subconsciously. He still remembered the day Su Yiran opened his shop—how that woman had immediately and unreservedly called him…

Just a couple of days later, Su Yiran officially signed a contract with Apple Live. The signing happened over the weekend. Since Gu Yuanting didn’t have to work that day, he accompanied Su Yiran to the store. For some reason, Su Yiran felt that something was off about his senior’s expression during the contract signing. After they finished at the shop, she simply said she had something to do, didn’t exchange a single extra word, and left with the contract in hand, walking away so quickly it…

Su Yiran’s livestream went pretty well today. Apple Live's first major promotion for newly signed streamers was deployed across both the website and app simultaneously, and the traffic boost was undeniably powerful. Just moments after he went live, tens of thousands of viewers flooded into his stream. Some were interested in the dessert mentioned in his title, some were curious about a new streamer, and some were just random passersby who clicked in by chance. A few left after a single glance,…

Su Yiran’s collarbones were covered in kiss marks and bites from Gu Yuanting. His pale skin quickly turned red. The pain made him cry out involuntarily. When he caught a glimpse of blood welling up from Gu Yuanting’s right hand again, he panicked. He had no mind for intimacy at that moment. Struggling with his restrained hands, he tried to check: “Your hand… it’s bleeding!” A loud clap of thunder rang out, followed by a long rumble. The steady rain turned into a torrential downpour, pounding…

It kept raining. After a sudden downpour on Monday, the rain hadn’t stopped. Now it was Friday, and the drizzle was still falling, light and steady. Business at Su Yiran’s shop had been affected by the weather. Lunch and dinner time were still decent, but afternoons were quieter, with only a handful of customers here and there. But there were upsides to slower days. Su Yiran listened to the sound of rain outside, dropped some goji berries into his cup, poured in hot water, and placed the lid…

It was already past 4 p.m., and the light rain outside was still drizzling. The last two or three customers had left the store, and Su Yiran walked over to Gu Yuanting, watching him work on his wood carving. “How’s it coming along?” Gu Yuanting stiffened. “…It’s not done yet.” Su Yiran saw him holding a carving knife, measuring and marking the wood, seemingly preparing to do the final hollowing-out. “Hollow carving is really hard. Half of what I made looks really stiff. I think it’s…

On the way home, Su Yiran sneakily ate several more pieces of candy. Absolutely delightful. When they got home, the two of them began preparing dinner together in the kitchen. Tonight’s menu included fish-flavored eggplant, steamed fish, stir-fried eggs with chili peppers, and fish head soup. Su Yiran started by frying the eggplant until the outside was crispy and the inside tender. Once done, he scooped them out to set aside. Then he stir-fried minced meat, heating oil in the pan, and added…

Su Yiran lay curled up in the blanket, teary-eyed, holding his cheek in a half-hearted attempt to soothe the pain without touching it. His mind was a blurry mess. Dizzy and in pain, he also felt incredibly embarrassed. How humiliating—to be a grown adult, yet end up in the hospital in the middle of the night because he’d eaten too much candy and got a toothache. He had really crashed and burned this time… sob sob sob… Gu Yuanting drove at full speed to a top-rated dental hospital in City A.…
