Although he always felt that Li Yu was acting quite strange, Jian Suiying was also too busy to delve deeper at the moment.
The time Li Yu gave him to slow down and relax was crucial for him. A few weeks later, a complex that opened was sold out overnight, with some of the funds being recovered. He then sold a project he had planned to do but didn’t have the money to start, and finally held onto some cash.
After that last text message, Jian Suilin didn’t harass him again but helped him raise some funds, which was somewhat helpful.
After more than three months after the car accident, Jian Suilin was discharged from the hospital. He returned to the company as soon as he was discharged, and under his and Jian Suiying’s operations, the company’s situation finally improved.
After the company’s situation stabilized, Jian Suiying wanted to let go, as he had other projects to do and didn’t want to spend any more time there. Moreover, meeting Jian Suilin made him feel uncomfortable. Before leaving, he transferred a large amount of assets to his own name. Although he had gone through a very difficult period, he has now made a lot of money.
At that time, a month had passed since the gunpowder-filled tense meeting with Li Wenyao. With the money in his hand, he took the initiative to contact Li Wenxun and planned to transfer the money and fill the gaps.
However, Li Wenxun told him that Li Yu had already done everything for Jian Suiying, just as he had said.
Jian Suiying’s mood was particularly complex at that time. He remembered the concerns he had when the two of them separated a month ago, and now that he could take a break, those concerns became clearer and heavier in his heart.
How did Li Yu manage to make tens of millions of cash in just one month? No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t feel right.
He should inquire about the situation with Li Yu, but what was his stance on all this?
Even if Li Yu had paid the money for him, he didn’t feel like he owed Li Yu. Li Yu had taken more from him after all. However, he just couldn’t get rid of that unease.
He reflected for most of the day while resting at home, which was not in line with his character as Jian Suiying. He is decisive and agile in his actions, and he has never been such a “motherly” person. However, he’d been struggling to make up his mind whether to go find Li Yu or not. Finally, he felt that he should not interfere with Li Yu’s affairs. He’s been busy and tired for so long now, so he should find a way to relax and not worry about his old lover, who has already waved him goodbye.
After making up his mind, he immediately asked his secretary to arrange a holiday for him and let him stay idle again. He will have to think about things sooner or later, but it was still better to have a holiday and rest.
After making up his mind, he began to think about whether he should find someone to accompany him, or to search for someone to have an affair with after he arrived.
In previous years, finding a scenic and slow paced place to rest for a week after concentrating on tiring work and then searching for beautiful boys in the local area was his fixed way of leisure. But after nearly half a year of not doing so, the thought of rolling sheets with someone he had never known suddenly made him feel a bit confused and strange. He didn’t know how to describe that feeling, but he just felt uncomfortable. He had never had such a conservative concept at his young age before, and he couldn’t explain why he hesitated even to deal with such a trivial matter, which made his mood even worse.
Finally, he decided to find someone he knew to accompany him, and he called Xiao Zhu.
Xiao Zhu quickly answered with some surprise in his voice. The feeling of being remembered was always good, and Jian Suiying felt a little better in his heart.
But when he offered his invitation, Xiao Zhu hesitated and said, “I… I can’t go.”
“Why? It’s up to you to decide where you want us to go, and it’s just for a week.”
Xiao Zhu remained silent for a few seconds then said, “I still have class to attend, I can’t leave when it’s not vacation.”
“Why don’t you ask for leave? Why don’t I find someone to fill out an hospitalization form for you?”
“No, there’s no need to do that, Jian Shao… I really can’t go. I’m glad you called me, but… I can’t go.”
Jian Suiying was stunned for a while, but when Xiao Zhu said “Jian Shao”, he soon understood his meaning. He hung up with a hint of emotion, knowing that his relationship with Xiao Zhu had really come to an end.
So, who else should he look for?
For the first time, he realized how lonely it was to not even find someone to accompany him on a vacation or enjoy the view of mountains and oceans with. This meant that in the future, no matter how beautiful or rare the scenery he saw, he would never find the right person to share it with.
With his continuous chase of attractive “flowers”, the people around him came and went, and after a brief satisfaction, it was even more difficult to fill the void. His grandfather was right. Sooner or later, he will feel tired from his lifestyle.
Unfortunately, the person who made him want to settle down gave him a painful blow in the head.
He remembered Li Yu again.
It’s true that filling oneself with work is the right thing; otherwise, once he’s free, he still won’t be able to completely free himself from the failed relationship, and he will still have thoughts that make him upset. When he doesn’t have a job to do, he really had nothing to do. This feeling was really sad.
If it weren’t for Li Yu, he wouldn’t have known he had so many unnecessary emotions.
The secretary chose Malta, a small vacation country in the Mediterranean, for him. If he wanted to go on his own, he could go there. It’s also great to be alone and relax.
After flying for eleven hours, he finally arrived in the country. After the taxi took him to the hotel, he quickly took a shower and fell asleep. Due to being too tired, he slept heavily at night until he was awakened by the sound of the phone ringing. He opened his sleepy eyes and checked who was calling. It was Li Xuan.
He wanted to hang up as usual, but his fingers didn’t listen, and he pressed the answer button.
Li Xuan’s voice was filled with suppressed urgency, “What are you doing? You kept turning off your phone whenever I called you.”
Jian Suiying said hoarsely, “What do you want?”
Li Xuan said in a low voice, “I need you to go to Guangzhou.”
Jian Suiying frowned and said, “Am I an errand runner from your family?”
“No… but you must go.”
A person like Li Xuan, who is intelligent, calm and composed, sounded so anxious that he couldn’t even speak clearly. Jian Suiying finally felt that things were not right, after all, whenever Li Xuan came to him, they were all related to Li Yu.
“What’s the matter? You should explain it clearly.” Jian Suiying got up from bed and endured the dizziness to take a glass of water and drink.

Jian Suiying only felt that his heart was beating abnormally fast and that his concerns were coming true. Li Yu was really doing something against the law.
Li Xuan spoke with difficulty, “He was engaged in smuggling rings along the coast, and his business is very large, so he has already been targeted by the government. If this continues, our family absolutely cannot hold onto him any longer. We must ask him to stop immediately and find a way to fix this issue.”
Jian Suiying only felt that his brain was buzzing, and his words seemed to just leak from his mind. “Why… why are you looking for me then?”
“He changed his phone and no one knows where he is anymore. I am currently checking his whereabouts, but even if I find him, he can no longer listen to what I have to say. Only you can stop him. Jian Suiying, I don’t care what your feelings are for my brother, even if you look down on him or hate him, but I know that you can’t watch him continue like this. He will definitely have an accident if he goes on. He’s even done enough now to let him get shot!” Li Xuan’s voice felt choked up, “You must stop him and bring him back, and then you must, your Jian family must carry this with me. I can risk my future, but I can’t watch my brother’s life be at risk. If my brother has an accident, I will never let you go. Don’t tell me how much wrong he had done to you. If you didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t be like this today after all. Don’t you dare stay out of the f*cking way now!”
Jian Suiying was so heartbroken that his body trembled all over. He slowly leaned against the edge of the bed and sat down, unable to breathe for a long time.
Li Yu… you…
Was it all for him? It was in order to come up with funds that piled up one after another he took the risk…
Jian Suiying couldn’t continue to think anymore. He was so scared that his fingertips were trembling. If something really happened to Li Yu…
He put on his clothes, picked up his still-unopened luggage bag, and hurriedly left the hotel to head straight to the airport. He only entered the country for four hours, but he had already left so urgently.
Due to time constraints, he couldn’t buy a direct flight from Malta to Beijing, so he had to fly to Frankfurt for a connecting flight first. After all this trouble, he flew for a full 22 hours before returning to Beijing. At that time, he was already very tired and sleepy, and his eyes could hardly open.
The first thing he did when getting off the plane was to try calling Li Yu’s previous number, but it was no longer possible to get through.
He stood at the bustling airport, feeling a sense of confusion and fear that he had never experienced before. He was in a daze for a long time and found a person from his phone book who had not been in contact for a long time. He knew that this person was currently doing business in the southeast coastal area.
“Hello, Shao Qun, it’s me, Jian Suiying.”
“Yo? We haven’t been in touch for a long time; why did you suddenly call me? “A lazy and shameless voice of a man came from the other end of the phone. If it were the usual Jian Suiying, he would definitely tease him, but now he doesn’t have that mood at all.
“I have something to talk to you about.”
“Stop the nonsense, since you called me, just tell me,” Shao Qun yawned.
Jian Suiying said bluntly, “Do you know Li Yu?”
“Li Yu? Hey, who doesn’t know him yet?”
Jian Suiying’s heart sank as he asked, “What does that mean?”
“That kid may not have seen money in his eight hundred lifetimes, for I’ve never seen someone make such a desperate amount of profit. His actions are too big and it made many people envious. Someone from the higher-ups has already noticed him.”
Jian Suiying spoke hoarsely, “Tell me how serious the situation is now and how much you know.”
“Is he your friend?” asked Shao Qun.
“… Yes.”
“Then stop hanging out with him as soon as possible to avoid being implicated yourself.”
Jian Suiying said, “Don’t worry about this, just tell me all the news you’ve heard.”
Shao Qun remained silent for a moment and asked, “A very important friend then?”
Jian Suiying sighed and said, “I can’t ignore him. I want to know if there’s still time to pull him out.”
“I don’t know much about this, but if your Jian and Li families protect him together, and you use the money to smooth out things and block people’s mouths that need to be blocked, maybe you don’t need to go in yourself. If it’s really not possible, just run away.”
Jian Suiying paused for a couple of seconds then said, “Can you help me find him? I’m not familiar with that area. You’ve been there for so long, so there should be some way to help me with this.”
Shao Qun was also straightforward and said, “Okay, I’ll help you find him.”
“Also, can you help me inquire more about him? The more careful you are about it, the better. I’ll thank you very sincerely later.”
“Okay, and it’s not a big deal for you to ask me once in a while. I’ll have someone check and send you more information. I’ll notify you as soon as I hear from him.”
Just as he was speaking, a baby started crying on the other end of the call.
Shao Qun cursed “f*ck” and whispered on the other end of the phone, “You don’t need to get up, I’ll go.” Then he said to Jian Suiying, “My son is crying, so I’ll hang up first. I’ll inform you as soon as I have any news.”
After hanging up, Jian Suiying found a friend from the local public security department to check Li Yu’s ID record. Although he didn’t have much hope of finding his whereabouts through this method, he wanted to try any method anyway. If he can find Li Yu as soon as possible, perhaps he will still have time.
Four days later, Jian Suiying finally obtained the address of Li Yu’s current residence, which is in a small port city at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi. The hardware construction in this city was relatively backward, and the supervision wasn’t strict enough, resulting in rampant smuggling activities.
Jian Suiying walked into the only 4-star hotel here, found Li Yu’s room, and knocked on the door.
Soon, Li Yu’s voice was heard from the door, “Who?”
Jian Suiying replied, “It’s me, open the door.”
“Jian-ge?” Li Yu’s voice rose a bit in surprise.
Jian Suiying heard hasty footsteps, and then the door was opened. Li Yu’s fair and handsome face appeared in front of him, without any changes, but unfortunately lacking the youthful shine that only belonged to him when they first met.
Jian Suiying still remembers the first time he went to Li Yu’s high school to look for him. Li Yu wet his head, shook the water off his face, and his faint smile, like fragments of sunlight, spilt into his heart. The beauty that Li Yu once had in his heart turned into resentment and humiliation. He almost forgot how he had fallen in love with this person at first sight, how he had made his heart flutter, and how he had pursued him relentlessly.
At this point, Jian Suiying couldn’t describe how heartbroken he was at the sight.
The expression on Li Yu’s face was complex, and there was a look of surprise and concern. “Jian-ge, how did you find this place?”
Jian Suiying stepped into the room, and Li Yu quietly closed the door behind him.
As soon as the door was locked, Jian Suiying instantly turned around and punched Li Yu in the stomach.
Li Yu was unprepared, and he bent down after being beaten up.
Jian Suiying didn’t understand the hatred he felt at the moment and repeatedly beat and kicked him several times. Seeing that Li Yu hadn’t fought back, he stopped, panting heavily.
Li Yu covered his stomach with one hand and supported the wall with the other. He slowly straightened up and looked straight at Jian Suiying.
Jian Suiying pointed at the tip of his nose, and his fingers were trembling, “Do you want to die from earning fast money? What are you doing? Tell me, what the hell are you doing right now?”
Li Yu’s face was a bit pale, and he pursed his lips without speaking.
Jian Suiying grabbed a white porcelain teapot and smashed it to the ground: “Are you crazy, Li Lao-er?! Don’t motherf*cking tell me that you’re doing this for me. Am I so poor that I need you to earn money that could harm you!?” Jian Suiying got more agitated and couldn’t help slapping Li Yu again.
Li Yu touched his cheek and whispered, “It’s none of your business. I wanted to do it.”
“You want it my ass! The number of money you have now is enough to get you killed several times. Li Yu, are you crazy? Are you f*cking crazy? How old are you? You’re only twenty-two, what do you want to do with so much money? To die?!” Jian Suiying was so mad that his face was red and looked crazy, his expression particularly ferocious. If strangling Li Yu could solve all problems, he would not hesitate to do it.
Li Yu smiled bitterly and replied, “Jian-ge, I don’t think I have that much time anyway.”
“What do you mean?” Jian Suiying raised his voice. “Are you dying of a terminal illness?”
“No… I… ” Li Yu looked deeply at Jian Suiying. How could such a life last for ten or twenty years? He didn’t have the courage, he would rather take risks and seize the only chance of hope in his heart.
He had met people like Jian Suiying before, and he couldn’t accept losing. Perhaps as Jian Suiying said, he has indeed gone crazy, and his obsession with this person has made him do crazy and reckless things.
Jian Suiying was shocked by the firmness and persistence in his eyes and he couldn’t speak for a moment.
Li Yu smiled bitterly, “Jian-ge, I’m already happy that you came to see me, but I… do you think I can still turn around after this?”
Jian Suiying gritted his teeth, “You’re asking me this? Do you even know what you are doing? Have you ever thought about your father, mother and brother? How can you be so stupid?”
Li Yu had a gloomy expression and an indelible sadness in his eyes. “I think they wouldn’t feel ashamed if they were without me…” Li Yu lowered his head and his body shook. “Jian-ge, sometimes I would hate you. Before I met you, I thought I never lacked everything. Now, it seems like I’ve been abandoned by everyone, even you…” Li Yu choked, “I have done a lot of things to you, and I deserve it, and I tried apologizing to you, but you never gave me a chance. You’re ruthless, and sometimes I really hate you, but I mostly hate myself… ” Li Yu buried his head in his chest, his shoulders trembling.
Jian Suiying only felt that his heart was being squeezed tighter, and he couldn’t bear Li Yu’s pitiful appearance, even if he was clearly not worthy of sympathy. But whether he was worthy of sympathy or not, only those who love him knew that for themselves.
Jian Suiying thought that perhaps the person in front of him would go to prison, and his young and brilliant life would end in darkness. He couldn’t bear this outcome. He wanted to beat him up, but he couldn’t lift his arm, so he just said, “Aren’t you an idiot? If something happens to you, they will be humiliated and be in pain for a lifetime, and I can’t forgive you for being so foolish too.”
Li Yu looked at his hand with a wooden expression and said, “Jian-ge, I’ve already reached this point. I can’t give up now. You go back… If you stay any longer, I won’t be able to let you go.”
Jian Suiying couldn’t help but slap him in the face again. He said, voice trembling, “You stinky idiot, are you sick in the head? Are you really…” Just because of his careless words, Li Yu really did such a dangerous job. Who the hell would remember what he even said then? Was this kid insane? How could he have done such a crazy and reckless thing? For the first time, Jian Suiying was shocked by a person’s persistence. If Li Yu responded to his love with even only 1% of his strength back then, could the two of them still be here today? Can he really risk getting harmed just to make money for him? Why didn’t he show up for him with such chivalry back then? How didn’t see this guy’s mental issues at the very beginning? “Come back to Beijing with me now. Let’s go right now.”
Li Yu shook his head and replied, “What am I going to go back to now?” Li Yu lifted his head and looked straight at him. “Jian-ge, you know what I want is not your pity.”
Jian Suiying gritted his teeth, “Li Lao-er, are you really threatening me? Are you so full of sh*t in that head of yours that you’re threatening me with your own life?”
Li Yu leaned against the door panel, his pitch black pupils hardly showing any signs of weakness, but he looked at Jian Suiying with sadness and firmness. “Jian-ge, if you could find me all the way here, it proves that you still care about me. If you want to take me away today, I can go with you, but you can’t leave me behind anymore. I will always follow you. Otherwise, you don’t care about me anymore. Leave this hotel, don’t turn around, and let me go on my own way. I, Li Yu, am so shameless and foolish. If you don’t want me, then don’t care if I’m dead or alive, let me go with the little hope I have left.”
Jian Suiying was so angry that every organ and every part of his body hurt. He hated being forced by others the most, and the more he was forced, the more he had to act against it. Li Yu was fully aware of this, but this time he couldn’t slap Li Yu to the ground and then just slam the door and leave. Because if he did, what he would close is not just a door, he will also close Li Yu’s hope.
If he left today, tomorrow he will watch Li Yu walk towards destruction step by step. As of now, he suspected that Li Yu intentionally exiled himself to the edge of the cliff. The purpose of this dangerous move is to see if Jian Suiying will reach out and pull him back. Once he reached out his hand, he couldn’t take it back anymore. Li Yu dug a trap and used himself as bait. The choice of whether to jump or not seemed to lie with him, so as long as he still had feelings for Li Yu, he had no choice.
He hated being intimidated like this, but he couldn’t help but feel shocked by everything Li Yu had done. He yearned to be so crazily admired by Li Yu a long time ago, but when it finally came true, he only wanted to cry.
He had a ferocious look on his face, his eyes blazing, and he glared fiercely at Li Yu.
Li Yu also looked at him without hesitation, his lips trembling uncontrollably.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and Jian Suiying slowly spoke, “Follow me back to Beijing.”
Li Yu was still trembling when he spoke, “Jian-ge, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Follow me back to Beijing.”
“I don’t understand, Jian-ge. Please speak more clearly, otherwise, I won’t understand.” Li Yu’s voice was already hoarse as tears rolled from his eyes, falling.
Jian Suiying grabbed his neck with his hand. He really wanted to tighten his hold and end all grudges, but he just pressed Li Yu’s body against the door, pushed him, kissed his lips, and bit his lips hard.
Li Yu trembled with pain, tears streaming down in an instant. He choked, “Jian-ge, I don’t understand. Please speak clearly, please speak clearly…”
Jian Suiying endured the sour feeling and spoke hoarsely, “Come back to Beijing with me. I don’t need you to earn that damn money. I’ll give you this chance, and I’ll give you it now. Listen to me Li Yu, if make me feel sorry for you again, I’ll chop your d*ck off.”
Li Yu held Jian Suiying tightly and burst into tears like a dying person finding hope for a chance to live again. From this moment on, he was redeemed. Embracing this person again seemed like a century had passed, and he had experienced all the pain and despair. He couldn’t imagine how he spent every day alone, with endless regret and sadness constantly tormenting him. He never expected time to go back, nor did he yearn for the past. He has gone through so many things and suffered so much, and now he can hold him again. Apart from his tears, he actually doesn’t know how to vent his emotions about finally breaking the curse.
Jian Suiying couldn’t bear it any longer and burst into tears as well. After going through a big cycle and experiencing mutual harm, he still hugged this person in the end. Perhaps from the moment they first met, all the harm and suffering had already been destined to happen to them, but despite their ups and downs, they would still come to this very moment. He couldn’t describe his current mood. It was as if he was instantly relieved, and the indescribable force that was pressing on him disappeared in an instant.
He likes Li Yu, and from the moment he met him until today, he has always liked Li Yu. In his entire life, he will no longer be as devoted and fearless in liking others as he was in liking Li Yu. Every day he couldn’t have Li Yu was like mocking his failure and state. He couldn’t forgive his own foolishness, nor could he forgive his longing for Li Yu, so he couldn’t even forgive Li Yu as well.
Perhaps today was also redemption for him, and the person he was “forced” to accept again was the unspeakable and shy desire in his heart.
Li Yu hugged him and cried until his nose rubbed against his tear-soaked shoulder, finally getting tired of crying over him.
Jian Suiying secretly wiped away the tears from his eyes, adjusted his emotions, and then tugged at Li Yu’s hair, saying, “Alright, hurry up and pack up your things and go back to Beijing with me. If you’ll really go back, there’s plenty of room for tears. Now save it.”
Li Yu sucked a breath and lifted his head, looking at him with a hint of embarrassment. His bright but bloodshot eyes, paired with his delicate and fair skin, looked particularly pitiful.
Unfortunately, Jian Suiying still looked a bit uncomfortable. For no reason at all, he wanted to smoke. He suppressed the impulse and urged, “Pack up your things, hurry up. Then give me your account book from this period of time, tell me what you did, and to what extent you’re connected in all this, all of the things that can be explained.”
Li Yu nodded and went to the restroom to wash his face. After, he came out without wiping his face, as if afraid that Jian Suiying might run away.
Jian Suiying was staring at the fire escape map of the hotel in a daze. He pondered the worst-case possibility of this matter. If they really couldn’t help Li Yu, they could only let him go, as Shao Qun said, and he could never come back for a lifetime. Even if he wanted to run, he must make plans early. As of now, he must know how serious the situation is.
Li Yu simply stuffed the things into his suitcase and said, “Jian-ge, the issue should be resolved here. Returning to Beijing won’t solve the problem.”
Jian Suiying frowned at him and said, “What does that mean?”
Li Yu took out his computer and opened it for Jian Suiying to read his accounts.
Jian Suiying roughly studied it for over half an hour, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
Li Yu sat on the bed and looked at him. “I have left a way for myself. I haven’t reconciled with you yet, so how could I go to die?” Li Yu pointed to a project and smiled lightly. “They couldn’t find enough evidence, and our company’s accounts were flawless. You see, just for Secretary Li’s bidding for the construction of an affordable housing project, I balanced over two billion yuan in accounts. If they have to pick flaws, and at most, they would only pick out millions of tax evasions, which is not that big a deal.”
Jian Suiying looked at him in surprise and said, “Where did you learn these things, kid?”
Li Yu blinked and said, “If it’s reasonable tax evasion, much of it I’ve learned from you.”
Jian Suiying cursed, “F*cking bullsh*t, tax evasion and smuggling are two different concepts. Do you really know the importance? Do you think you are flawless, and the authorities are all fools? There are always things you cannot consider, and there is still a possibility of being caught. Don’t be assured so early on.”
Li Yu lowered his eyes, “Don’t curse me…”
“Who is cursing you? It’s your own lack of heart and mind. After causing such a big mess, don’t think it’s as easy to finish as you think. If it’s really not possible, you can go abroad instead.” Jian Suiying said while studying the accounts.
Li Yu was startled at this, “I won’t leave this country.”
Jian Suiying turned his head to look at him.
Li Yu said seriously, “I won’t leave, I want to be with you.”
Jian Suiying angrily said, “You want me to go to prison with you? You f*cking wish.”
Li Yu said urgently, “Jian-ge, I won’t cause any trouble, believe me.”
Jian Suiying closed the computer and said, “Stop talking nonsense.” He took out his phone and sent Li Xuan a text message, asking him to come over immediately.
“I informed your brother that we should study the matter thoroughly first, and then I’ll go back to Beijing to establish connections. What should you do if you stay here? Just leave all the money you made. Only your little life is important, and nothing else.”
Li Yu hugged Jian Suiying’s shoulder. “Jian-ge, you’re too worried about me.”
Jian Suiying didn’t look back, but said, “I remember that you once told me that you wanted to become a man I could rely on. I don’t care how much you can do, but at least, you need to be able to manage yourself and not cause trouble for me.”
Li Yu tightened his hold, kissed his neck, and whispered, “Jian-ge, believe me, I will stay by your side. I won’t go anywhere. If I were to be knocked down by such difficulties, I wouldn’t be worthy to be by your side anyway.”
TL Note:
Shao Qun is here~ the 188 boy’s group “leader” according to the fandom, and is the gong in the novel, 娘娘腔 (Sissy). Basically, he’s part of the Beijing social circle (he’s also from a rich family) so he’s friends with Jian Suiying. He’s mostly in the Southern part of China now (from the events of Sissy), which is why Jian Suiying contacted him.
The final chapter will be uploaded next week, but there are still extras, so stay tuned for those.
I can’t believe we’re reaching final next week? 😭😭😭 I’m not ready to let go this story. They finally coming back together aaaaaaaahhhh. Also special mention to xiao zhu, he’s such a good person. Thank you for being there with Suiying when he’s having hard time. And Li Yu really push himself this far, he’s a flawed character but so is Suiying. I hope the best for them and thank you for translating<3
We are at the finish line and I’m not ready! Thank you so much for all your hard work!
What a beautiful reunion. It’s definitely one of the author’s signature redemption arc to have the gong almost die and the shou has no other choice but to give in. Nevertheless, I’m such a sucker for trope like this. I love Li Yu and Jian-ge. They’re both strong characters! Shout out to Jian-ge for being the strongest shou I’ve ever known.
Shao Qun is so freaking sweet in every other novel than his own.
Really? My man jsy deserved the best. Uff… But what to do he liked the boy. We are at the finish already. it was the day before yesterday I finished the manga and couldn’t wait for what come next and started reading the novel. thank you . ik its been so long since the release but thank u all very much…
