At the three quarters into the hour of the Pig (9:45 PM), the bright moon hung high in the sky, and most households in Lexiang County had settled into silence. Only Ansi Courtyard remained lively. Under the kumquat tree, Wei Hai, his face flushed and reeking of alcohol, held up his wine bowl and clinked it against the tree. Then, he poured half of the wine onto the tree’s roots before gulping down the rest in one go. Hic! Letting out a drunken hiccup, Wei Hai leaned against the tree trunk and…-

"Shopkeeper Wei!" "One look at you, and it’s clear you have an extraordinary bearing—surely, you must be highly experienced in business!" "My future son-in-law may not always get things right when it comes to business. I’ll have to rely on your guidance!" Unlike his usual indifferent attitude toward the Yu family, Liao Cui's father immediately changed his demeanor upon seeing Wei Hai. He stood up with a smile, clearly eager to strike up a conversation. Hearing this, Wei Hai glanced at Gu Ning'an…

The Zheng family courtyard was just as lively at the moment! Madam Yu and her son, along with the family of three from the Zheng household, sat on one side. On the other side sat Liao Cui, who had been engaged to Yu Fu that day. Beside her was a burly, rough-looking middle-aged man. The man had a face full of harsh features, with a slight resemblance to Liao Cui in his brow—clearly, he was her father. Madam Yu pulled out a red pouch from her bosom, stuffed it into her son’s hand, and nudged him.…

"Aiko, what's wrong? You don't seem very energetic. Did something happen?" Murashima Mami asked with concern. "I'm fine," Aiko sighed. "You're saying you're fine, but is it because of that guy Gennai again?" Murashima asked. "Yeah, he hasn't come to see me for several days. Mami, do you think he never really liked me?" Aiko's eyes began to redden. Murashima sighed inwardly, then forced a smile to comfort her. "How could that be? With your looks and qualities, what guy could possibly reject you? Maybe…-

The ceremonial hall was meticulously arranged. Behind the altar stood a large wall of flowers, while the altar's center featured an enlarged photograph of an elderly man. Though aged, his eyes radiated a certain sharpness. It was unclear whether this was how he looked in life or if the photo had been edited. A dark-colored coffin was positioned not far from the altar. On either side of the hall, monks chanted sutras. Those present moved in an orderly fashion, taking turns approaching the altar to light…

"Good heavens, this actually passed?" Naoko-sensei stared in disbelief at the audacious sketch glaring back at her from the exam paper. "I barely managed to get that paper back. I rarely draw, and I didn’t want to leave my masterpiece with those people. This is a true treasure—you have to keep it safe for me," Lei Yin said with a grin. Imagining the history teacher's expression when seeing that drawing, Naoko couldn’t help but burst into laughter. When her laughter subsided, Lei Yin took one of…

As Lei Yin leaned against the wall, he couldn't help but smile slightly as he watched groups of students walking together in excitement, discussing how they would spend their summer vacation. Being a student really was nice—no worries about life's problems, and two long vacations every year. "Sorry, Senpai, I made you wait," the energetic kendo girl was the first to run up to him. Kazumi followed behind her, smiling as she walked slowly. "It wasn't a long wait. Let's go," Lei Yin stretched…

"Are you saying that this boat can't move?" a student exclaimed. Lei Yin calmly replied, "Yes. The engine of this boat starts by using an electronic ignition system, but the rain has soaked the control panel in the captain's cabin. This not only prevents the engine from starting, but it has also shorted the radio. In other words, we're stuck here, and we can't call for help." His words caused a heavy silence to fall over everyone in the cabin. "Isn't there any other way?" another student asked…

The young salesman became extremely enthusiastic upon hearing they wanted to buy a piano. He eagerly began highlighting the advantages of one particular piano. While listening, Lei Yin walked over to the piano and pressed each key slowly, one by one. Then, with slightly quicker movements, he ran through all the keys before telling the salesman, “The transition from the middle range to the lower range on this piano doesn’t sound very natural. You should have your tuner check it.” The salesman,…

Nishijo Ichiro sensed an intense, indescribable pressure radiating from the man, as though he had transformed into a completely different person. Though the sensation made him deeply uncomfortable, his pride stopped him from showing weakness, especially with Himeko and Angel in the car watching. He instructed the driver curtly, "Drive," and at the same time locked the doors and rolled up the windows. Once the reflective glass of the car windows blocked the man's piercing gaze, Nishijo Ichiro inexplicably…
