      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 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 7: Two straws in one drink Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Compared to those high-quality productions, the works shot in-house at the company inevitably fall short. Β  The casting alone speaks volumesβ€”at best, they could only afford an 18th-tier star with just a few hundred thousand followers on social media, half of whom are probably bots. Β  As for costumes, makeup, and props, the production practically oozes a sense of thrift. The costumes have been worn by generations of productions, with one yellow imperial robe even sporting a few…

      OSM Chapter 6: Is he really married? Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” 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 5: On purpose Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” 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. β€œI 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 42: Variety show Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Translator: Abo Dammen The quilt that Li Yuze had soaked with water was hanging on the balcony. By the time He Zhiqiu left to record the show, it still hadn’t completely dried. The main reason was that the weather had been quite bad recently, and he had also spilled a bit too much water on it. The down filling was thoroughly soaked. After He Zhiqiu left, Meng Lin packed up the quilt. Although he brought over a new one, Li Yuze didn’t take it and instead asked Meng Lin to take the old one away as…
    • OSM Chapter 41: β€œWhy don’t… you stay in my room tonight?” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Translator: Abo Dammen It’s not like he’s asking for trouble. Β  But things were different now. Β  Li Yuze no longer feels that things which once seemed troublesome for him were still troublesome under certain circumstances. Β  People, after all, have to understand the times. Β  So, he hung up the phone with Chen Qiong and found a familiar director in his contacts. He had worked with this director on a film earlier in the year, but hadn’t been in touch…

      OSM Chapter 40: Low-key Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Translator: Abo Dammen Compared to the grandiose visit to the Pingsha drama set, Li Yuze was much more low-key when visiting He Zhiqiu this time, coming in the quiet of the night, sneaking in without drawing attention. Β  After all, given He Zhiqiu's current situation, it wasn't ideal for any news about him and Li Yuze to be exposed. Β  He had originally been an entirely clean slate. Β  Through his own efforts, he worked his way up from being a background actor to…

      OSM Chapter 4: Hand cream Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Due to Li Yuze's arrival, the lively atmosphere of the class reunion reached its peak. Both familiar and unfamiliar faces crowded around him eagerly. The headmaster even patted Li Yuze on the shoulder, remarking how he hadn't changed at all, and then pulled out a photo for him to autograph. To be honest, Li Yuze hadn’t spent much time with his classmatesβ€”only about a year and a half in total. He transferred in during the second semester of their first year and left in the first semester of…

      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…
