      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 14: Β Li Yuze had changed.

      OSM Chapter 14: Β Li Yuze had changed. Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Β 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, Β  Such efforts would have been unthinkable in the past. Β  Even the director who personally invited him was stunned, unable to believe that Li Yuze had agreed to the…
    • 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 28: β€œWhat a coincidence. I just finished filming too.” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” The lie was exposed on the spot, but the atmosphere wasn’t particularly awkward. Li Yuze, undeterred, raised an eyebrow and nonchalantly handed the remote back to him. The next day, everything returned to normal. But no one knew that the remote in the resting room had quietly made a trip to the international airport late at night, stayed there for a few hours, and then quietly returned. During this period, there wasn’t much major news, but online discussions about the relationship between…

      OSM Chapter 29: Would a simple self-introduction be too awkward? Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” When Li Yuze hung up the phone, he was still on set. Even if he was heading home today, he wouldn't be getting to A City until later in the evening. He didn’t give an exact time, so He Zhiqiu asked when he might arrive but didn’t get a clear answer. Although Li Yuze said not to wait for him, He Zhiqiu returned home, quickly packed away his luggage, and still made a pot of pork rib soup. On his way back, he stopped by the supermarket, threw out expired items in the fridge, and restocked…
    • OSM Chapter 35: No wonder he locks it up.

      OSM Chapter 35: No wonder he locks it up. Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Translator: Abo Dammen He Zhiqiu had just changed into his pajamas and lay down when he received a call from Chen Qiong. He quickly got out of bed and answered. Β  He had come back from the company earlier than usual today, but he hadn't gone to sleep until quite late. Β  Xu Sui had helped him find another audition opportunity, letting him familiarize himself with the script in advance to prepare for the upcoming audition. Β  The difficulty of this new role was much…
    • OSM Chapter 36: β€œSince when have you been so understanding?”

      OSM Chapter 36: β€œSince when have you been so understanding?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Translator: Abo Dammen At this moment, He Zhiqiu was indeed a little dazed. When Li Yuze hugged him, his mind went completely blank. Β  It wasn’t until he stumbled out of Li Yuze’s room that he suddenly remembered something and said, β€œThere seems to be something under your blanket. Be careful when you sleep so you don’t get poked by it.” Β  Li Yuze let out an β€œah,” as if he had only just noticed it thanks to He Zhiqiu’s reminder. He rarely said thank you, but this…
    • OSM Chapter 37: Do you know what a rhythm master is?

      OSM Chapter 37: Do you know what a rhythm master is? Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Translator: Abo Dammen The new drama He Zhiqiu had taken on was indeed adapted from a story with homosexual themes. Β  Although society has become more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community in recent yearsβ€”for example, allowing same-sex marriage through certain legal proceduresβ€”when it comes to film and television, openly portraying such themes is still not encouraged. Even if such projects are allowed, they are typically limited to small-scale online releases. Without significant…
    • OSM Chapter 38: β€œIs this what you mean by β€˜leading the conversation’?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Translator: Abo Dammen Li Yuze said he didn’t know. He then asked He Zhiqiu where he had seen this term. Β  He Zhiqiu said on the production team's Weibo, and casually mentioned the matter to him as well. Β  Li Yuze, after hearing that, was unfazed and kindly reminded He Zhiqiu that it would be best to stay away from the world of fans. Β  After all, no matter who you interact with, you need to give each other some distance and space in order to maintain a good…

      OSM Chapter 39: Setting the rhythm Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Translator: Abo Dammen It was understandable that he didn’t know what it meant. After all, the concept of "leading the conversation" is inherently vague. Take "ImNotPetty" as an example. No one could definitively say that she was deliberately trying to influence others. After all, everyone has different perspectives, and those with strong subjective opinions often don’t consider objective factors. She might have simply been expressing her thoughts, attracting people who resonated…
