Yan Ran collapsed onto his knees, the weight of this newly discovered truth finally overwhelming him. Tears poured from his eyes. Sobs flooded from his throat, allowing the torrents from above to flow in and fill the orifice with a sharp bitterness.

_{Yan Ran nodded instinctively, and that person flung him away, continuing his charge to the door.}“What are you doing?” Fang Shixiu stopped him and asked sternly.

Yan Ran nodded instinctively, and that person flung him away, continuing his charge to the door.

_{Just as he was lost in thought, Fang Shixiu was already standing before him. “Come inside with me.”}From behind him, Fang Shixiu’s deep but clear voice rang out, “Yan Ran, if you leave this time, don’t ever think of returning to my side.”

Just as he was lost in thought, Fang Shixiu was already standing before him. “Come inside with me.”

_{That man neared Ye Ling in shock. “Is this how you will welcome me?”}“Ye Ling—” the man pleaded, but Ye Ling did nothing apart from walking over and taking his hand. With his gaze locked on Ye Ling, the man got off his knees. He towered over Ye Ling, but towards the shorter man, he was the one who seemed more anxious and confused, like an abandoned kid.

That man neared Ye Ling in shock. “Is this how you will welcome me?”

_{The person, the man who looked like a giant, had an indomitable force about him, which one Yan Ran knew enough to not resist. With his towering height and messy hair, as well as a body built like a bear's, surprisingly, the features on his face were rather handsome, even though his expression was quite fierce.}
Fang Shixiu spent those days accompanying Ye Ling, to the point where they were practically inseparable. As for Yan Ran, who was completely forgotten, he had decided to leave.

The person, the man who looked like a giant, had an indomitable force about him, which one Yan Ran knew enough to not resist. With his towering height and messy hair, as well as a body built like a bear's, surprisingly, the features on his face were rather handsome, even though his expression was quite fierce. That fierce look of his was so imposing; it was the kind that would scare a child to tears with just a glance swept their way.

_{Over the next few days, the competition heated up.}“I did,” Ye Ling said in a tone of pure frost, “but I also said that if you don’t heed my words, I will leave you in an instant!”

Over the next few days, the competition heated up.

_{Yan Ran nodded as he was struck with a sudden realisation: This world is truly filled to the brim with wonders.}
It didn’t matter if he was as resilient as they come, because even he could no longer endure seeing such a situation unfold before him. So, one night, he made up his mind to leave, and on that night, he snuck into Fang Shixiu’s room for the last time.

Yan Ran nodded as he was struck with a sudden realisation: This world is truly filled to the brim with wonders.

_{Over the next few days, the competition heated up.}It was nowhere close to dawn as yet; it wasn’t even five o’clock. It was still the wee hours of the morning, the time before the coming dawn when everything was at its most dark. The world itself was serene, with everything with it still, so upon the sound of that man’s roar, the world seemed to be shattering.

Over the next few days, the competition heated up.

_{“Fine, then. But your punishment this time will be kneeling for a day and a night.”}The pain tearing him up seemed so immense that he would rather Fang Shixiu die alongside him as well.

“Fine, then. But your punishment this time will be kneeling for a day and a night.”

Fang Shixiu got himself out of bed right then, turning to the weeping man before he spoke. “Yan Ran, I thought that after this year, you would have at least learned to control your tears.”

_{Just as he was lost in thought, Fang Shixiu was already standing before him. “Come inside with me.”}
Standing by his bedside, Yan Ran gazed at the sleeping man before him while bitterness flooded his heart. He even dared extend a hand to cup the man’s cheek. But even the cold touch of the younger man against his skin garnered no reaction, as he remained unaware.

Just as he was lost in thought, Fang Shixiu was already standing before him. “Come inside with me.”

_{“Yes. I am,” Ye Ling lamented, “and you are too. So I have no dеsire to waste what life I have left with you. Not any more.”}Just as he was lost in thought, Fang Shixiu was already standing before him. “Come inside with me.”

“Yes. I am,” Ye Ling lamented, “and you are too. So I have no dеsire to waste what life I have left with you. Not any more.”

_{This answer, too, caused Yan Ran great pain. Then, upon seeing Fang Shixiu wearing that same calm look as always, he shot back up to his feet and bit into that man’s neck.}It didn’t matter if he was as resilient as they come, because even he could no longer endure seeing such a situation unfold before him.

_{The man rushed towards Ye Ling, his knees hitting the floor with a thud. He then reached out to take hold of Ye Ling’s hand, but Ye Ling avoided him, taking two steps back.}“I did,” Ye Ling said in a tone of pure frost, “but I also said that if you don’t heed my words, I will leave you in an instant!”

The man rushed towards Ye Ling, his knees hitting the floor with a thud. He then reached out to take hold of Ye Ling’s hand, but Ye Ling avoided him, taking two steps back.

_{“It’s not sudden. I had already planned to leave for a while now. Plus, your injury is almost healed.”}
Even if I slammed the door shut as I left, he still wouldn’t wake up because he was already exhausted after accompanying Ye Ling for the entire day. Even if he did hear it, he would never chase after me because I never had a place in his heart. What reason is there for me to still do this now? In the end, it’ll all just become a set of past events where no hope existed to begin with.

“It’s not sudden. I had already planned to leave for a while now. Plus, your injury is almost healed.”

_{“Fine, then. But your punishment this time will be kneeling for a day and a night.”}“Fang Shixiu,’ Yan Ran’s tears flowed without end as they had before, but this time, the expression on his face had changed. “I thought that after spending a year here for your sake, you would’ve at least not acted so haughty and aloof towards me again. Not everyone can be as hаrd-hearted as you. Not everyone can have your resilience and restraint! I don’t want to endure it any more—I can’t. I just want to leave. I’ve had enough of this!”

“Fine, then. But your punishment this time will be kneeling for a day and a night.”

_{“What are you doing?” Fang Shixiu stopped him and asked sternly.}Yan Ran nodded instinctively, and that person flung him away, continuing his charge to the door.

This answer, too, caused Yan Ran great pain. Then, upon seeing Fang Shixiu wearing that same calm look as always, he shot back up to his feet and bit into that man’s neck.

_{The man pouted, muttering nonstop in defeat. Then, in an instant, like a gust of wind, Ye Ling tugged him, and they vanished.}
Burying his teeth into his quivering lips, Yan Ran forced back his tears, again unable to bear it. The more he looked at the Fang Shixiu lying there in sound sleep, the more he realised the relationship between them lacked any kind of deep intimacy, and this was how it would always be.

The man pouted, muttering nonstop in defeat. Then, in an instant, like a gust of wind, Ye Ling tugged him, and they vanished.

_{“Ye Ling…” The kneeling man exposed a smile in an attempt to curry favour.}“Ye Ling, you’re getting old.” The man stared at Ye Ling’s face as he whispered.

Fang Shixiu got himself out of bed right then, turning to the weeping man before he spoke. “Yan Ran, I thought that after this year, you would have at least learned to control your tears.”

_{Releasing a fury of desperate kicks and bites, Yan Ran acted out his deeply rooted despair. He then collapsed onto the bed and cried until there was no strength left in him.}Standing by his bedside, Yan Ran gazed at the sleeping man before him while bitterness flooded his heart. He even dared extend a hand to cup the man’s cheek. But even the cold touch of the younger man against his skin garnered no reaction, as he remained unaware.

Again, Yan Ran pressed his teeth into his lower lip, and with that, he jumped off the bed and bolted to the door.

_{The pain tearing him up seemed so immense that he would rather Fang Shixiu die alongside him as well.}Yan Ran’s jaw dropped upon hearing this. That pitiful kitten-like appearance he puts on in front of Fang Shixiu was fake! He’s sharper than a blade!

The pain tearing him up seemed so immense that he would rather Fang Shixiu die alongside him as well.

_{Yan Ran nodded instinctively, and that person flung him away, continuing his charge to the door.}“Ye Ling…” The man’s face contorted as if he were close to tears, his lips pressing into a line as though he were being wronged. “But... you’re the one who said you would stay with me forever.”

Yan Ran nodded instinctively, and that person flung him away, continuing his charge to the door.

_{“Have I not been obedient enough?” The fretting man’s brows furrowed. “I’ll be more obedient from now on, then. I swear it.”}
Like this, the sleeping Fang Shixiu finally opened his eyes, turning his weary gaze to the man beside him and asking what was wrong.

“Have I not been obedient enough?” The fretting man’s brows furrowed. “I’ll be more obedient from now on, then. I swear it.”

_{This answer, too, caused Yan Ran great pain.

_{“What does he have to do with it?” Ye Ling scowled.}“What are you doing?” Fang Shixiu stopped him and asked sternly.

“What does he have to do with it?” Ye Ling scowled.

_{Fang Shixiu was filled with shock as he managed to get a look at the manic Yan Ran. The shock was so great, he had forgotten all about the pain and came to the conclusion that the one biting him had indeed gone mad.}
“Can you please see me off? I plan on returning to Xiji.”

Fang Shixiu was filled with shock as he managed to get a look at the manic Yan Ran. The shock was so great, he had forgotten all about the pain and came to the conclusion that the one biting him had indeed gone mad.

The sight of such a large man on his knees was a rather astonishing one for Yan Ran, to the point where it made him stop in his tracks when he wanted to tuck-tail and run upon seeing Fang Shixiu.

_{“Fine. I will admit that I am stubborn. I was wrong, alright? So can we go back home now?”}“Fine.” Ye Ling nodded in agreement without any hesitation, then turned to Fang Shixiu and waved his hand. "Shixiu, thank you for the hospitality you've shown me. We'll be on our way now.”

“Fine. I will admit that I am stubborn. I was wrong, alright? So can we go back home now?”

_{“Ye Ling, you’re still as beautiful as ever. I swear on the name of Du Kang, the god of wine, himself!”}Ye Ling, on the other hand, flіcked that man on the forehead. “You should be thanking him for taking proper care of me all this time, you log! If it weren't for him, I'd be living on the damn streets!”

“Ye Ling, you’re still as beautiful as ever. I swear on the name of Du Kang, the god of wine, himself!”

_{“What does he have to do with it?” Ye Ling scowled.}Upon seeing Yan Ran’s still confused face, he explained, “Those two have a love-hate type of relationship. One is willing to fight, while the other is willing to suffer. One is willing to run, while the other is willing to give chase. I'm long accustomed to their antics. So Ye Ling never had any intention of breaking up with him to begin with. He only wished to fight and run away. It had become a habit of his. So as long as Xia Fangge chases after him, his anger will dissipate completely.”

“What does he have to do with it?” Ye Ling scowled.

“Fine.” Ye Ling nodded in agreement without any hesitation, then turned to Fang Shixiu and waved his hand. "Shixiu, thank you for the hospitality you've shown me. We'll be on our way now.”

Ye Ling wore no smile, however; his expression cold as he glared at the man. “You are aware it’s currently the middle of the night, aren’t you? What’s more, that smile of yours makes you look like a fool.”

_{Yan Ran nodded instinctively, and that person flung him away, continuing his charge to the door.}Again, Yan Ran pressed his teeth into his lower lip, and with that, he jumped off the bed and bolted to the door.

Yan Ran nodded instinctively, and that person flung him away, continuing his charge to the door.

_{“What? Why are you leaving so suddenly?”}The pain tearing him up seemed so immense that he would rather Fang Shixiu die alongside him as well.

“What? Why are you leaving so suddenly?”

_{“There's no need for thanks.” Fang Shixiu smiled bitterly. “My door will always be open for you.”}That man neared Ye Ling in shock. “Is this how you will welcome me?”

“There's no need for thanks.” Fang Shixiu smiled bitterly. “My door will always be open for you.”

_{“Ye Ling, you’re getting old.” The man stared at Ye Ling’s face as he whispered.}
Yan Ran, however, seemed crazed. So much so that he grabbed a nearby pillow to smother Fang Shixiu’s face as he still bit into that man’s neck while tears streamed down his face.

_{“Yes. I am,” Ye Ling lamented, “and you are too. So I have no dеsire to waste what life I have left with you. Not any more.”}
Yan Ran was already the strongest, having the most fortitude among all and giving the slightest bit of care towards all the people who had been close to Fang Shixiu. Whether it be Ximen Rongruo, Xuanyuan Wuji, or Diandian, he always had to secretly endure these inexplicable threats. Yet it was today, of all times, that Yan Ran finally lost control.

Fang Shixiu got himself out of bed right then, turning to the weeping man before he spoke. “Yan Ran, I thought that after this year, you would have at least learned to control your tears.”

“I’ve never lied to you!”

_{“Don’t come any closer!” Ye Ling reached out to push him away, out of discomfort from the familiar scent on his body.}The person, the man who looked like a giant, had an indomitable force about him, which one Yan Ran knew enough to not resist. With his towering height and messy hair, as well as a body built like a bear's, surprisingly, the features on his face were rather handsome, even though his expression was quite fierce. That fierce look of his was so imposing; it was the kind that would scare a child to tears with just a glance swept their way.

_{“What right do you have to call me stubborn? The stubborn one here is certainly not me; you can be rest aѕsured.” Ye Ling shot him a glare.}

Upon seeing Yan Ran’s still confused face, he explained, “Those two have a love-hate type of relationship. One is willing to fight, while the other is willing to suffer. One is willing to run, while the other is willing to give chase. I'm long accustomed to their antics. So Ye Ling never had any intention of breaking up with him to begin with. He only wished to fight and run away. It had become a habit of his. So as long as Xia Fangge chases after him, his anger will dissipate completely.”

_{“Fine. I will admit that I am stubborn. I was wrong, alright? So can we go back home now?”}“What are you doing?” Fang Shixiu stopped him and asked sternly.

“Fine. I will admit that I am stubborn. I was wrong, alright? So can we go back home now?”

_{It didn’t matter if he was as resilient as they come, because even he could no longer endure seeing such a situation unfold before him. So, one night, he made up his mind to leave, and on that night, he snuck into Fang Shixiu’s room for the last time.}The man rushed towards Ye Ling, his knees hitting the floor with a thud. He then reached out to take hold of Ye Ling’s hand, but Ye Ling avoided him, taking two steps back.

_{“Fine, then. But your punishment this time will be kneeling for a day and a night.”}
But Yan Ran pretended he heard nothing, darting out like a bat out of hell. But upon reaching the gate, he rаmmed head-first into a solid body, hаrd enough to make his head spin.

“Fine, then. But your punishment this time will be kneeling for a day and a night.”

_{Ye Ling, on the other hand, flіcked that man on the forehead. “You should be thanking him for taking proper care of me all this time, you log! If it weren't for him, I'd be living on the damn streets!”}“Ye Ling…” The man’s face contorted as if he were close to tears, his lips pressing into a line as though he were being wronged. “But... you’re the one who said you would stay with me forever.”

_{“You’re as stubborn as ever, too.” The man sighed.}
That person then hoisted him up by the collar as he shouted, “Is Ye Ling here?”

“You’re as stubborn as ever, too.” The man sighed.

_{This answer, too, caused Yan Ran great pain. Then, upon seeing Fang Shixiu wearing that same calm look as always, he shot back up to his feet and bit into that man’s neck.}“Fang Shixiu,” the fierce-looking man beside Ye Ling shot Fang Shixiu a glare, “I’ve already warned you before—Ye Ling is my wife. If you so much as think of making a move on him with that head of yours, I'll twist it right off!”

This answer, too, caused Yan Ran great pain. Then, upon seeing Fang Shixiu wearing that same calm look as always, he shot back up to his feet and bit into that man’s neck.

_{“Ye Ling, you’re getting old.” The man stared at Ye Ling’s face as he whispered.}Almost everyone in the residence was roused from their slumber. Fang Shixiu was standing motionless under the entryway, and sometime later, Ye Ling had walked outside, too.

“Ye Ling, you’re getting old.” The man stared at Ye Ling’s face as he whispered.

_{“Ye Ling…” The man’s face contorted as if he were close to tears, his lips pressing into a line as though he were being wronged. “But... you’re the one who said you would stay with me forever.”}
The person, the man who looked like a giant, had an indomitable force about him, which one Yan Ran knew enough to not resist. With his towering height and messy hair, as well as a body built like a bear's, surprisingly, the features on his face were rather handsome, even though his expression was quite fierce. That fierce look of his was so imposing; it was the kind that would scare a child to tears with just a glance swept their way.

_{Upon seeing Yan Ran’s still confused face, he explained, “Those two have a love-hate type of relationship. One is willing to fight, while the other is willing to suffer.}Fang Shixiu responded to the threat with an eye roll, making it known there was nothing but disdain for that man and his words.

_{Fang Shixiu was filled with shock as he managed to get a look at the manic Yan Ran. The shock was so great, he had forgotten all about the pain and came to the conclusion that the one biting him had indeed gone mad.}“It’s not sudden. I had already planned to leave for a while now. Plus, your injury is almost healed.”

_{“Have I not been obedient enough?” The fretting man’s brows furrowed. “I’ll be more obedient from now on, then. I swear it.”}Almost everyone in the residence was roused from their slumber.

_{“Fang Shixiu,’ Yan Ran’s tears flowed without end as they had before, but this time, the expression on his face had changed. “I thought that after spending a year here for your sake, you would’ve at least not acted so haughty and aloof towards me again.}That person then hoisted him up by the collar as he shouted, “Is Ye Ling here?”

_{But Yan Ran pretended he heard nothing, darting out like a bat out of hell. But upon reaching the gate, he rаmmed head-first into a solid body, hаrd enough to make his head spin.}
It was nowhere close to dawn as yet; it wasn’t even five o’clock. It was still the wee hours of the morning, the time before the coming dawn when everything was at its most dark. The world itself was serene, with everything with it still, so upon the sound of that man’s roar, the world seemed to be shattering.

_{“Ye Ling—” the man pleaded, but Ye Ling did nothing apart from walking over and taking his hand. With his gaze locked on Ye Ling, the man got off his knees.

Almost everyone in the residence was roused from their slumber. Fang Shixiu was standing motionless under the entryway, and sometime later, Ye Ling had walked outside, too.

The sight of such a large man on his knees was a rather astonishing one for Yan Ran, to the point where it made him stop in his tracks when he wanted to tuck-tail and run upon seeing Fang Shixiu.

_{“Can you please see me off? I plan on returning to Xiji.”}Fang Shixiu got himself out of bed right then, turning to the weeping man before he spoke. “Yan Ran, I thought that after this year, you would have at least learned to control your tears.”

“Can you please see me off? I plan on returning to Xiji.”

_{“Yes. I am,” Ye Ling lamented, “and you are too. So I have no dеsire to waste what life I have left with you. Not any more.”}Releasing a fury of desperate kicks and bites, Yan Ran acted out his deeply rooted despair. He then collapsed onto the bed and cried until there was no strength left in him.

“Yes. I am,” Ye Ling lamented, “and you are too. So I have no dеsire to waste what life I have left with you. Not any more.”

Burying his teeth into his quivering lips, Yan Ran forced back his tears, again unable to bear it. The more he looked at the Fang Shixiu lying there in sound sleep, the more he realised the relationship between them lacked any kind of deep intimacy, and this was how it would always be.

_{Yan Ran, however, seemed crazed. So much so that he grabbed a nearby pillow to smother Fang Shixiu’s face as he still bit into that man’s neck while tears streamed down his face.}

_{“There's no need for thanks.” Fang Shixiu smiled bitterly. “My door will always be open for you.”}Yan Ran collapsed onto his knees, the weight of this newly discovered truth finally overwhelming him. Tears poured from his eyes. Sobs flooded from his throat, allowing the torrents from above to flow in and fill the orifice with a sharp bitterness.

“There's no need for thanks.” Fang Shixiu smiled bitterly. “My door will always be open for you.”

_{Yan Ran’s jaw dropped upon hearing this. {That pitiful kitten-like appearance he puts on in front of Fang Shixiu was fake! He’s sharper than a blade!}}“Don’t come any closer!” Ye Ling reached out to push him away, out of discomfort from the familiar scent on his body.

_{“Can you please see me off? I plan on returning to Xiji.”}
“Fine, then. But your punishment this time will be kneeling for a day and a night.”

“Can you please see me off? I plan on returning to Xiji.”

_{“You’re as stubborn as ever, too.” The man sighed.}“Ye Ling—” the man pleaded, but Ye Ling did nothing apart from walking over and taking his hand. With his gaze locked on Ye Ling, the man got off his knees. He towered over Ye Ling, but towards the shorter man, he was the one who seemed more anxious and confused, like an abandoned kid.

“You’re as stubborn as ever, too.” The man sighed.

_{Yan Ran was already the strongest, having the most fortitude among all and giving the slightest bit of care towards all the people who had been close to Fang Shixiu. Whether it be Ximen Rongruo, Xuanyuan Wuji, or Diandian, he always had to secretly endure these inexplicable threats. Yet it was today, of all times, that Yan Ran finally lost control.}Just as he was lost in thought, Fang Shixiu was already standing before him. “Come inside with me.”

_{That man neared Ye Ling in shock. “Is this how you will welcome me?”}

_{“What are you doing?” Fang Shixiu stopped him and asked sternly.}Yan Ran collapsed onto his knees, the weight of this newly discovered truth finally overwhelming him. Tears poured from his eyes. Sobs flooded from his throat, allowing the torrents from above to flow in and fill the orifice with a sharp bitterness.

“What are you doing?” Fang Shixiu stopped him and asked sternly.

That man neared Ye Ling in shock. “Is this how you will welcome me?”

_N/AAlmost everyone in the residence was roused from their slumber. Fang Shixiu was standing motionless under the entryway, and sometime later, Ye Ling had walked outside, too.

_{It was nowhere close to dawn as yet; it wasn’t even five o’clock. It was still the wee hours of the morning, the time before the coming dawn when everything was at its most dark. The world itself was serene, with everything with it still, so upon the sound of that man’s roar, the world seemed to be shattering.}
“What does he have to do with it?” Ye Ling scowled.

_{Burying his teeth into his quivering lips, Yan Ran forced back his tears, again unable to bear it. The more he looked at the Fang Shixiu lying there in sound sleep, the more he realised the relationship between them lacked any kind of deep intimacy, and this was how it would always be.}Yan Ran was already the strongest, having the most fortitude among all and giving the slightest bit of care towards all the people who had been close to Fang Shixiu.

_{Releasing a fury of desperate kicks and bites, Yan Ran acted out his deeply rooted despair. He then collapsed onto the bed and cried until there was no strength left in him.}

_{“What does he have to do with it?” Ye Ling scowled.}The man rushed towards Ye Ling, his knees hitting the floor with a thud. He then reached out to take hold of Ye Ling’s hand, but Ye Ling avoided him, taking two steps back.

The more he looked at the Fang Shixiu lying there in sound sleep, the more he realised the relationship between them lacked any kind of deep intimacy, and this was how it would always be.}Standing by his bedside, Yan Ran gazed at the sleeping man before him while bitterness flooded his heart. He even dared extend a hand to cup the man’s cheek. But even the cold touch of the younger man against his skin garnered no reaction, as he remained unaware.

_{Seeing such a scene play out before him left Yan Ran beyond dumbfounded—he couldn't dare believe his own eyes. {Did Ye Ling forgive that man so easily?}}“Fang Shixiu,” the fierce-looking man beside Ye Ling shot Fang Shixiu a glare, “I’ve already warned you before—Ye Ling is my wife. If you so much as think of making a move on him with that head of yours, I'll twist it right off!”

“What right do you have to call me stubborn? The stubborn one here is certainly not me; you can be rest aѕsured.” Ye Ling shot him a glare.

_{“I did,” Ye Ling said in a tone of pure frost, “but I also said that if you don’t heed my words, I will leave you in an instant!”}“Ye Ling!” The man’s voice boomed from the courtyard. “Ye Ling! Ye Ling! Ye Ling!”

“I did,” Ye Ling said in a tone of pure frost, “but I also said that if you don’t heed my words, I will leave you in an instant!”

_{Fang Shixiu spent those days accompanying Ye Ling, to the point where they were practically inseparable. As for Yan Ran, who was completely forgotten, he had decided to leave.}
“Fine. I will admit that I am stubborn. I was wrong, alright? So can we go back home now?”

Fang Shixiu spent those days accompanying Ye Ling, to the point where they were practically inseparable. As for Yan Ran, who was completely forgotten, he had decided to leave.

_{08.1: Confrontation}Ye Ling wore no smile, however; his expression cold as he glared at the man. “You are aware it’s currently the middle of the night, aren’t you? What’s more, that smile of yours makes you look like a fool.”

_{That man neared Ye Ling in shock. “Is this how you will welcome me?”}“Wait. Let’s wait until morning to discuss this properly, alright?”

That man neared Ye Ling in shock. “Is this how you will welcome me?”

_{Yan Ran’s jaw dropped upon hearing this. That pitiful kitten-like appearance he puts on in front of Fang Shixiu was fake! He’s sharper than a blade!}

“There's no need for thanks.” Fang Shixiu smiled bitterly. “My door will always be open for you.”

So, one night, he made up his mind to leave, and on that night, he snuck into Fang Shixiu’s room for the last time.

_{“Ye Ling!” The man’s voice boomed from the courtyard. “Ye Ling! Ye Ling! Ye Ling!”}
Upon seeing Yan Ran’s still confused face, he explained, “Those two have a love-hate type of relationship. One is willing to fight, while the other is willing to suffer. One is willing to run, while the other is willing to give chase. I'm long accustomed to their antics. So Ye Ling never had any intention of breaking up with him to begin with. He only wished to fight and run away. It had become a habit of his. So as long as Xia Fangge chases after him, his anger will dissipate completely.”

“Ye Ling!” The man’s voice boomed from the courtyard. “Ye Ling! Ye Ling! Ye Ling!”

_{From behind him, Fang Shixiu’s deep but clear voice rang out, “Yan Ran, if you leave this time, don’t ever think of returning to my side.”}Fang Shixiu was filled with shock as he managed to get a look at the manic Yan Ran. The shock was so great, he had forgotten all about the pain and came to the conclusion that the one biting him had indeed gone mad.

From behind him, Fang Shixiu’s deep but clear voice rang out, “Yan Ran, if you leave this time, don’t ever think of returning to my side.”

_{“You always say this. You always lie!”}Yan Ran, however, seemed crazed. So much so that he grabbed a nearby pillow to smother Fang Shixiu’s face as he still bit into that man’s neck while tears streamed down his face.

“You always say this. You always lie!”

_{This answer, too, caused Yan Ran great pain. Then, upon seeing Fang Shixiu wearing that same calm look as always, he shot back up to his feet and bit into that man’s neck.}
