Fan Jun’s hand trembled slightly as he cut the meat. It wasn't just trembling now; it had been like this for the past two days. Ever since hearing the news about Fan Gang, just thinking about the name made him tremble uncontrollably. Perhaps it was fear, perhaps it was unease, or perhaps it was a bizarre sense of excitement before a nightmare arrived. Because of this, he cut the meat very slowly, always having the illusion that his next slice would cut into his own hand. Zou Yang was sitting…-

Chapter 43: "I'm Not Some Clueless Kid..." The kitchen was lively, filled with the hum of the range hood, the bubbling of the stew on the stove, and plumes of white steam continuously rising only to be whisked away overhead. Fan Jun stood by the stove for a moment, then lifted the lid to check on the food. Before he could even see inside, his fingers were scalded so badly by the cast-iron lid that he nearly cursed out loud. To avoid alarming Zou Yang, who was still daydreaming in the living room, he…

Fan Jun turned on both the sink faucet and the showerhead in the bathroom, cranking them up to maximum. Standing in front of the sink, he stared at himself in the mirror for a moment, then turned, grabbed a bucket, and placed it under the shower, adjusting the water to a concentrated stream. The water falling from above smashed into the bucket, creating an even louder noise. He returned to the sink, bent down to wash his face, and raised his head again to look into the mirror. His eye sockets…

Fan Jun closed the door after entering his room, but a few seconds later, the door clicked again. Zou Yang lay there without moving, nor did he look over. He waited for a while, but Fan Jun didn't come out. Turning his head and relying on the faint light from the nightlight, he realized the door wasn't completely shut; rather, it had been left cracked open. Last time he slept on the sofa here, Fan Jun had closed the door immediately upon entering and didn't leave it cracked. Zou Yang felt this…

Liu Wenrui's cousin. For a moment, Fan Jun didn't even know what reaction he should make to play along with Zou Yang's nonsense. After a pause, he could only continue setting up the canopy. Zou Yang didn't speak anymore either. He just lay down on the ground, pillowed his head on his arms, and closed his eyes. While connecting the frame for the canopy, Fan Jun glanced over at the others who had already set up the table and were arranging the skewers. He had this feeling that Liu Wenrui was…

This glass was freezing cold, making his hand ache. After Fan Jun's hand was pulled away, Zou Yang's hand tightly gripped the glass. The coldness made his palm ache. Following the pulse, he felt his entire forearm turning cold. But as if frozen stiff, his hand showed no intention of letting go. That indescribable emotion—a jumbled mix of disappointment, awkwardness, heartache, and who knew what else—acted like a pair of pliers, clamping his hand firmly onto the glass. He didn't want…

Fan Jun checked the time. It was just past nine. Going to look at the equipment would take... He opened the navigation app and checked again. The shop was in the new district. The recommended route took twenty-six minutes one way, meaning an hour round trip. He changed his clothes, put a muzzle on Xiao Bai, and tied him up in a corner of the training area. Tan Ru liked dogs quite a bit and had specially bought a cooling mat for Xiao Bai to use here. "Brother will feed you at noon," Fan Jun rubbed the…

Fan Jun held Zou Yang's motorcycle key, standing at the intersection and watching as Zou Yang got into a taxi. It was a long while after the car drove away before he finally moved from his spot. He had originally thought that if Zou Yang wanted to stroll around a bit more, stay in the gym a bit longer, or go see Da Hei and Xiao Bai, he could actually keep him company. But Zou Yang had already seen through it, and had already understood. He stood at the intersection. He felt the surroundings…

Zou Yang was startled. He abruptly raised his head and looked at the straight road ahead; the nearest electric bike was about thirty meters away. "What happened?" He tilted his head slightly, looking at Fan Jun's profile. "Nothing," Fan Jun twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle accelerated forward. "Got startled for a second." "I was just thinking about taking a short nap," Zou Yang touched his own forehead. "Take your nap," Fan Jun said. Zou Yang lowered his head again, rested his…

Only four people were eating lunch today. Lü Ze had gone to the new venue, and Monkey and Li Mao, who usually came around to mooch meals, were both hiding from Fan Jun these past two days. The kitchen was suddenly much quieter, and it actually felt quite comfortable. Fan Jun helped Sister Shan bring the prepared dishes to the table. "Want something to drink?" Sister Shan asked Zou Yang. "Can you drink a little alcohol or cola now with your leg like that?" "I won't drink. I just had two iced…
