title's meaning: 不见不散 This phrase is used when dating to indicate that you will not leave until you see the other person, no matter what . Okay. 6 PM this evening, see you there After leaving the palace, Bai Ling sat on the airbus heading to the central area. He looked down at that message and silently tightened his grip on his terminal. This day has finally come again. Bai Ling's breath was stuck in his chest. He subconsciously touched the little pearl, then slowly exhaled, turning…-

At breakfast, Bai Ling was nibbling on half a slice of bread, his head drooping and bobbing as he dozed off. That wasn't even a dream last night; it was the of his life! The little hooves clip-clopped so hard his brain hurt. The most confusing part was that the dream automatically replaced Mr. D's face with Yu Chen's, making him sigh with genuine emotion. When he woke up and touched his pillow, it was wet. I'm so sad, I need to find something to comfort myself. Bai Ling expressionlessly downed…

M1zushi: i've added little 💬 that are from the JJWXC's in-text comments (kinda of like wattpad?) Life had taught the veteran resilience, tolerance, and optimism, but it hadn't taught him how to face tenderness. "The rain, it's really coming down hard, isn't it?" The Stump Bird was nervous. Afraid of revealing any undignified emotions, he bit his lip hard, trapping his ragged breathing in his throat. He could barely breathe… "Your breathing doesn't sound right." Mr. D inquired…

I'll also add here the comments from previous chapters 58 Actually, this chapter gave me more of a feeling of peeking into the old merman's world. These hobbies and refinements belong to Yu Chen himself, his personal charm stripped of his identity as a ruler. They also remind people of him during his princely days. Some related items have appeared before, like the muzzle corresponding to Xiao Yi's ambition and perseverance, the milk truck corresponding to Xiao Yi's compassion and desire for control.…

Yu Chen had never consciously compared the similarities and differences between the Stump Bird and Bai Ling. In his view, although these two people shared similar experiences, their temperaments were entirely different. Perhaps limited by the details of the dream, his impression of Stump Bird was only of the dim, hazy atmosphere of twilight and the arm that awkwardly hid itself beneath a taciturn demeanor, bearing the marks of hardship. He was a person whose edges had been worn down by…

Thank you anon reader for the Ko-Fi donation! warning: PTSD depiction In the 40s and 50s, a type of collective apartment rose to prominence to meet the housing needs of civilians and grassroots workers. Simple in structure and tiny in size, they were nonetheless fully functional. From the outside, the neat rows of balconies looked like stacked matchboxes, and because they were often inhabited by birds, they earned the nickname "Pigeon Boxes." While the architecture of the Izsu Paraiso era…

Thank you anon reader for the Ko-Fi donation! Bai Ling returned covered in blood. He forced down a few bites of food, scrubbed himself clean, and wrapped himself in the duvet, falling into a heavy, feverish sleep. In his stupor, someone touched his forehead. The fingertips carried a warm, algae-scented aroma, like seawater touched by a red tide. Bai Ling dazedly opened his eyes, catching a glimpse of a handsome, towering figure sitting quietly by the bed, appearing frozen in…

m1zushi: turns out i skipped this chapter.... Bai Ling gradually calmed down from his memories. Looking back now, the fact that he and Mr. D had remained only formal acquaintances for twenty years wasn't just a cruel twist of fate. Adult relationships involve many factors. Social ties, class, money... even face-to-face interactions have their reservations, let alone two strangers separated by a network cable. He knew nothing of Mr. D’s private life, and Mr. D knew very little of his. He…

After having lunch with the little bird and offering a few last instructions, Yu Chen sent him on his way and returned to the study to rest for a while. He had ceased taking his medication early this morning and, after only half a day, he was already feeling the onset of mental fatigue. So he could only prop his head up, close his eyes, and force his nerves to relax. The AI glided over to try and drape an overcoat across his shoulders, but Yu Chen waved it away. He reopened his terminal and resumed…

The AI is an exceptionally responsible Artificial Intelligence. After effortlessly taking control of all surveillance in the hotel and its surrounding areas, it returned to Yu Chen’s terminal, just in time to hear the little mechanical bird’s self-description through the audio feed. Bearing its Master’s orders in mind, the AI created a folder in its background titled to facilitate the real-time recording of data fluctuations for further analysis. Sensory Frigidity. The AI captured this…
