      OSM Chapter 25: β€œToday’s your birthday, right?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” He and Li Yuze had been friends for years, yet they'd never publicly acknowledged their friendship. Β  Not that Gao Kui minded - it's not like there was anything shameful about it. Β  But Li Yuze had always been particular about privacy, insisting their relationship was nobody's business. Β  If he'd refused to acknowledge it all these years, why suddenly show up for a visit today of all days? Β  Besides, it was New Year’s Day. A quick glance at the…

      OSM Chapter 16: β€œLet’s get to know each other again.” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” His solution was very simple. Β  He just needed someone to act as his married partner. Β  And at times, help him fend off the media reporters. Β  He Zhiqiu blinked and asked, "How... do I act as that?" Β  Li Yuze’s fingers tapped on the teacup, and he said, "Nothing else much." Β  "But... you might have to live with me." He Zhiqiu had just moved into the company dormitory, but because he had to help Li Yuze with this favor, he moved out again. Xu…

      OSM Chapter 26: Maybe, he thought, he wasn’t meant to be better. Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” He Zhiqiu’s birthday is on February 14th. Β  It was just past midnight. Β  1:01 AM. Β  He held the cake in his hands and opened his mouth as if to say something. But the words that came to his lips were simply "Thank you." He knew those two words were shallow, but given the nature of their relationship, what else could he say? Β  He Zhiqiu felt guilty. Β  At this moment, even if someone had asked him to say another word, he would have felt like he was…
    • OSM Chapter 21: But where had he gone? The community supermarket wasn’t open 24/7. Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Β  Some people have a knack for making things sound far too serious. This left He Zhiqiu unsure how to respond, let alone try to engage politely in return. Li Yuze seemed quite energized, likely because he had slept too much during the day and was now fully awake at night, like a night owl. Since it wasn’t He Zhiqiu’s place to force him to go to bed, he thought for a moment before handing over his script. β€œHelp me take a look at this.” When it came to acting, Li Yuze had helped…
    • OSM Chapter 27: β€œAnd that thing… I’ll take it back, okay?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” He Zhiqiu could see through his obvious compliance, and his hand holding the cake froze on the table. For a moment, he couldn’t find the words to say. Β  Li Yuze didn’t continue on that topic. Instead, he took the slice of cake He Zhiqiu had cut for him and ate a few bites. Β  The cake was indeed small, only about six inches in diameter. Β  The black chocolate glaze wrapped around tiny crushed hazelnuts, and with each bite, it was a mix of bitter and sweet. But the cold…
    • OSM Chapter 8: β€œWhat reaction do you expect?”

      OSM Chapter 8: β€œWhat reaction do you expect?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” He knew what that person had meant. Β  And he understood why he'd ignored the usual pre-exam nerves and become even more anxious. Β  The second straw in the drink bottle remained untouched. Β  Slightly nudging it with his finger, He Zhiqiu made it sway as if someone were sucking on it. Β  Maybe this is the last time I'll use this to calm my nerves. Β  Thanks to Tang Song for listening to my nonsense. Β  Now there's... a third person who knows…
    • OSM Chapter 31: β€œHow about we try? Just the two of us… try dating?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Translator: Abo Dammen These three dishes looked quite ordinary, but they shared a common characteristic. Β  He Zhiqiu didn’t notice, his attention solely focused on the injury on Li Yuze’s arm. Β  Although Li Yuze had said it was nothing, faint traces of blood could still be seen seeping through the white bandages. Β  But He Zhiqiu didn’t want to press the matter further, so he decided not to ask any more questions. After all, no matter how much he asked, there…

      OSM Chapter 9 Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” "But..." Gao Kui listened to him finish and fell silent. "If you really get involved in his life and the media finds out, it wouldn’t be good." He hesitated before asking again, "But do you really have to get involved in his life? Do you have to fall in love with him? I’m not saying this, but after all these years, don’t you think all the love has faded away? Even if you can’t be together, you could still be friends..." "I can’t be friends with him." Li Yuze didn’t wait for Gao Kui to…

      OSM Chapter 17: β€œWe can start over.” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Li Yuze's home was spacious, surrounded by windows on all sides, allowing for excellent lighting. The open kitchen was brewing freshly ground coffee, and the rich aroma wafted up the transparent glass staircase to the second floor. He Zhiqiu hadn't had the chance to tour his house. After hearing this, he stood in place, silent for a long while. Β  Li Yuze's suggestion was actually a good one. If they started over, they could forget everything from the past. Β  Whether it was unspoken…

      OSM Chapter 22: β€œNo… could it be? Is he your…?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Β  Not many people received the second audition invitation from the Pingsha production team. The most popular candidate for the third male lead was only a handful, four or five at most, and there were even fewer for the small villain roleβ€”just two people. Besides He Zhiqiu, the other one seemed to be reluctantly there, pacing in the hallway while constantly saying he didn’t want to take the role. β€œWhy do I look like a villain? And a role like this will definitely get me cursed out.…
