      OSM Chapter 5: On purpose Cover
      by Sirens Lair When Tao Yang found He Zhiqiu, the designated driver's call had just come through. They scheduled a pick-up, leaving them with a few minutes to spare. He Zhiqiu wasn’t in the restroom but was instead standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the lounge area, gazing downward. His phone was on silent, so he hadn’t noticed Tao Yang’s earlier calls. “I feel like something’s off with you,” Tao Yang said, lighting a cigarette as he approached and stood next to He Zhiqiu. He Zhiqiu…

      OSM Chapter 6: Is he really married? Cover
      by Sirens Lair Some grudges may have room for resolution, but emotional wounds aren't something that can be completely healed with just an apology or an explanation. Tao Yang had been worrying for days, fearing that Li Yuze might recall past events after meeting He Zhiqiu again and grow to dislike him. He was concerned this might lead to obstacles in their work. But after a few days of calm, Tao Yang managed to obtain Li Yuze's itinerary through connections. It turned out he had been overly suspicious. Li…

      OSM Chapter 9 Cover
      by Sirens Lair "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 14:  Li Yuze had changed.

      OSM Chapter 14:  Li Yuze had changed. Cover
      by Sirens Lair  Li Yuze had changed. At least in Meng Lin’s eyes, his ge had changed a lot recently. Not only was his temper much better, but even his attitude toward work had become noticeably proactive. Though all he had done was promote a new movie and accept an invitation from a director he’d worked with before,   Such efforts would have been unthinkable in the past.   Even the director who personally invited him was stunned, unable to believe that Li Yuze had agreed to the…
    • OSM Chapter 21: But where had he gone? The community supermarket wasn’t open 24/7. Cover
      by Sirens Lair   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. “Help me take a look at this.” When it came to acting, Li Yuze had helped…
    • OSM Chapter 27: “And that thing… I’ll take it back, okay?”

      OSM Chapter 27: “And that thing… I’ll take it back, okay?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair 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.   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.   The cake was indeed small, only about six inches in diameter.   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 17: “We can start over.”

      OSM Chapter 17: “We can start over.” Cover
      by Sirens Lair 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.   Li Yuze's suggestion was actually a good one. If they started over, they could forget everything from the past.   Whether it was unspoken…
    • OSM Chapter 31: “How about we try? Just the two of us… try dating?”

      OSM Chapter 31: “How about we try? Just the two of us… try dating?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair Translator: Abo Dammen These three dishes looked quite ordinary, but they shared a common characteristic.   He Zhiqiu didn’t notice, his attention solely focused on the injury on Li Yuze’s arm.   Although Li Yuze had said it was nothing, faint traces of blood could still be seen seeping through the white bandages.   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 11: Would you mind helping me out by driving Li Yuze back to the hotel? Cover
      by Sirens Lair Gao Kui suspected his foot might be broken. It wasn’t until He Zhiqiu once again firmly answered Li Yuze’s question that the weight pressing on his foot finally lifted. “Senior, what happened just now?” He Zhiqiu hadn’t forgotten Gao Kui’s abrupt yelp and asked with concern. Gao Kui coughed awkwardly and said, “It’s nothing, nothing. The chair leg pressed on my foot.” This excuse might fool a child, but it was clear Gao Kui wasn’t willing to explain further. Sensing this, He…
    • OSM Chapter 15: “Can you… help me?”

      OSM Chapter 15: “Can you… help me?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair While preparing for the wrap party, the staff had bought a variety of drinks and a massive cake.   He Zhiqiu had spent half the day helping carry things around, so cracking open a drink wasn’t unreasonable.   Carbonated beverages, of course, don’t take well to shaking; mishandle one, and it’ll spray everywhere.   Apologizing sincerely, He Zhiqiu quickly grabbed tissues to help the young actor clean up and even offered to wash his clothes. The attention in the room…
