At seven in the evening, the city news channel began its nightly broadcast. For the past few days, the top story had been the unfinished housing project at Yifeng Gardens, a development under Huanyan Real Estate. Ren Yu watched for a while, glancing down now and then to check the time. At 7:05, he muted the TV and parted the curtains just a crack. The high-powered Nikon binoculars positioned in front of the window had been fine-tuned and recalibrated, its lens once again trained on the apartment…-

Xu Lin opened his eyes. His blurred vision slowly cleared. Before him was a scene he knew better than anywhere. The simple wooden cabin. The familiar fold-out bed. The fresh-smelling blanket covering him. Not a dream. He was in his own little room. Yes. All those terrible things were behind him. He had returned. Back to District Thirteen, to Yanyu Township. Back home. He tried to get up, but as he sat up, a sharp, needle-like pain stabbed through his head. He froze, taking a…-

When Ji Jixuan came out, Xu Lin was sitting on the bed, holding his phone. Because he was looking down, a section of his nape was exposed above his collar, startlingly pale against the room's lighting. He didn't look at Ji Jixuan at all; his attention was entirely on the phone. Ji Jixuan walked over and saw that Xu Lin wasn't actually looking at anything. He was just staring blankly at a screen that had already gone dark. Ji Jixuan took the phone from his hands, unlocked it, and immediately…

Do Alphas in Danshi also help others? After leaving the hotel that day, Xu Lin kept thinking about that question. Ever since he arrived in the main city, every single local he had encountered—whether at school or at work—was selfish, partial, and perpetually condescending. Ji Jixuan had been born and raised in Danshi, an S-rank Alpha who had grown up surrounded by admirers. By all logic, shouldn't someone like him be even more arrogant? Yet he had stepped in to help a server. Ji Jixuan seemed…

They said they were going to plan a wedding, but such a massive and complicated task couldn't be completed in a short time. Xu Lin had accepted Ji Jinxuan's proposal. That night, Ji Jinxuan was so excited he couldn't sleep at all. He lay in bed holding Xu Lin, chattering on and on about all kinds of wedding details. Xu Lin had been willing to talk at first, but as drowsiness overtook him, he grew too tired to continue. Ji Jinxuan, however, was still wide awake, talking endlessly with no sign of…

Xu Lin suddenly received a call from Yi Wei. Yi Wei had finished the New Year and, thinking they hadn't seen each other in a while, invited Xu Lin to visit. Xu Lin had nothing else to do, so he agreed readily. The next day, Yi Wei was waiting for him outside the dock. His waving hand froze midair when he saw the person who had come with Xu Lin. Xu Lin walked up to him, but Yi Wei's eyes were still fixed on the man behind him. He rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again. When he confirmed he wasn't…

Ji Jinxuan had been staying at Pu Sha's house for a few days when Xu Lin remembered something. "Did you bring your medication?" he asked. He meant the pheromones he'd left for Ji Jinxuan enough to last a year. Ji Jinxuan's current condition required daily doses of Xu Lin's pheromones. But Xu Lin hadn't seen him use them once these past few days. Was he forcing himself through it again? Or... "Have you run out?" Xu Lin asked. Ji Jinxuan shook his head. "There's still some left." He paused.…

Xu Lin woke up feeling hot. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Ji Jinxuan's chin. Above that, his peaceful sleeping face. Dark hair fell across his forehead, softening his features, making him look remarkably gentle. He was completely wrapped in Ji Jinxuan's arms, held so tightly that there was no space between them. Xu Lin's nose was filled with the scent of Ji Jinxuan. The warmth radiating from his body seeped through the thin layer of clothes and onto Xu Lin's skin. Xu Lin…

"Xu Lin, you're back. Why are you so... late..." Pu Sha heard someone come in and assumed it was Xu Lin. He turned around with a smile, but the smile froze on his face when he saw who it was, and his voice trailed off. Xu Lin was back, but he wasn't alone. Behind him stood Ji Jinxuan. Xu Lin took the bag of groceries from Ji Jinxuan and set it on the table, speaking casually. "I bought some pork and celery. Is that okay?" Pu Sha was stunned, staring blankly at Ji Jinxuan. "Teacher?" Xu…

Pu Sha spoke at length. Xu Lin listened in growing silence, his head bowed, saying nothing. It was hard to tell how much had sunk in. If Xu Lin hadn't come home early, Ji Hongyun would have left District Thirteen that night. Pu Sha had always made sure they didn't meet, sending Ji Hongyun away whenever Xu Lin might return as if he were some secret lover. Ji Hongyun had always complied, however reluctantly, not wanting to upset Pu Sha. But now that they'd crossed paths, he refused to leave. He…
