      OSM Chapter 3: They meet again Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” The view from the observation deck truly lived up to its reputation. Through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire A city was spread out below. On the bustling intercity highways, cars moved in a steady stream, and the constant "beep-beep-beep" of horns filled the air. It was past 7pm, and the evening rush hour wasn’t over yet. To make matters worse, certain sections of the road were closed for construction, making the already congested traffic even worse. In the seven-seater…

      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 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 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 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 25: β€œToday’s your birthday, right?”

      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 24: β€œSurprise, I’m visiting your set.”

      OSM Chapter 24: β€œSurprise, I’m visiting your set.” Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” He Zhiqiu was still a little worried about Li Yuze’s stomach, afraid that if he didn’t cook it properly, it would just hurt more as he ate. Β  So, he explained the recipe for the fish porridge in detail again before finally putting down his phone. Β  It was snowing outside the window. Β  The indoor temperature had dropped a few more degrees. Β  He Zhiqiu walked to the door of the room and turned the air conditioning up, then glanced at the calendar on the table.…

      OSM Chapter 23: I won’t interfere Cover
      by Sirens Lair β€” Xu Sui couldn’t help but think that if he really analyzed this relationship, he’d uncover a lot of issues. Β  But he wasn’t the type to pry into other people’s matters, nor did he have the time to dig into it. Β  Besides, if the person involved was fine with it, why bother digging deeper? He was more surprised and, at the same time, started thinking about how to plan He Zhiqiu’s future development. Β  After all, with Li Yuze suddenly backing He Zhiqiu, no matter how…

      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.…
    • 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…
