Banana Panic

"Why Not Admire My Abs Instead?" Just as Qin Yulin was about to retort— since if Tang Keyi married Qin Zhiyan,  wouldn't that make them the same "type"?— the door opened, and another person walked in. A young man with a towel wrapped around his waist. Tang Keyi and Han Qiuqiu, sitting to the side of the door,  couldn’t see the newcomer’s face clearly. "President Qin, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to run into you here." Qin Yulin narrowed his eyes, studying the newcomer.  "You are...?" "I’m Li Mingxing, from the Li family." Tang Keyi and Han Qiuqiu exchanged glances,  both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes. [Speak of the devil—mention one, they appear; mention two, and here they both are.] Qin Zhiyan finally glanced up at the newcomer.  Someone from the Li family?  Does Tang Keyi know him? "Oh, it’s you. It’s been so long, I didn’t recognize you. My bad." Qin Yulin knew Li Mingxing and Han Qiuqiu didn’t get along, ...

A flicker of surprise passed through Chu Heting’s eyes as he stood in the private box. He had caught Qin Chengyu’s Alpha scent earlier—an equal, evenly matched presence.  It was the first time he had encountered something like this. So that’s how it is. Now he understood why Qin Zhuo had abruptly appointed Qin Chengyu as the Qin family’s new heir. A premonition settled in his chest:  Qin Chengyu would be an opponent he couldn’t afford to underestimate. I was relieved when Qin Zhuo, in his shortsightedness, chose that fool Qin Chenglu. Yet in the end, Qin Chengyu emerged victorious. Chu Heting snapped out of his thoughts and pulled out his phone, sending a quick message. Qin Chengyu had only guessed half the truth. Beyond family politics, Chu Heting had another reason for opposing the Qin-Nian marriage—his foolish younger brother. "Chu Hejun, if you don’t return now, Nian Jinsui will walk right into the Qin family’s arms." With the warning sent, Chu Heting exhaled. The lingeri...

What could he say in response to that? Nian Jin Sui stammered, unable to form coherent words. Finally, he chose to avoid the main issue and replied vaguely,  “If Brother Ting, you’re willing to accept my feelings, I could break off the engagement immediately!” Anyway, Chu Heting would never look at him like that, so there was no harm in saying this. As Nian Jin Sui quietly congratulated himself on his cleverness, he failed to notice that Chu Heting's gaze wasn’t on him but was instead directed at something just behind him. "What? Can't stand to listen?" Chu Heting's voice rang out, tinged with amusement. “Huh?” Nian Jin Sui didn’t understand at first, but as he looked up, he finally realized that Chu Heting wasn’t looking at him but was instead smiling slightly, staring at something behind him. Suddenly, Nian Jin Sui froze, about to turn his head when he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck. His vision went black, and he lost consciousness. Seeing this, Chu H...

  "Don’t Take It Off—Don’t Let Him See!" After the massage session ended and the masseurs had left,  Tang Keyi finally revealed his plan:  "I'm thinking of working for a while longer, then telling Grandma that I've given up in the face of difficulties. I'll put on an act like I'm nursing a broken heart—Grandma will definitely feel sorry for me and won't have the heart to force me into blind dates." "Everyone in our circle is going crazy over you becoming Qin Zhiyan's assistant." "The gossip mill never stops. Let them talk." "I bet Li Mingxing has been mocking you nonstop." "When has that guy ever said anything nice about me? He's just jealous of my looks! Just because he never won 'School Hunk' back in the day—it's not like I voted for myself. The masses have sharp eyes—how's that my fault?" Han Qiuqiu stretched lazily and said, "If Qin Zhiyan weren't exactly three years old...

In the VIP room, Nian Jin Sui was angrily muttering to himself. "This Chu Heting really doesn't give me any face. He won't even listen to what I have to say... Now what do I do? I can't go out like this... I feel so miserable. Maybe I should call an ambulance? Wait, Xilu, does this count as a failed mission? Are there any punishments?" [Host, please stay calm and wait.] "What are we waiting for?"  Nian Jin Sui thought, his body heating up and his emotions growing increasingly impatient. Before the system could respond,  the sound of a door opening immediately captured Nian Jin Sui’s attention. He blinked in disbelief when he saw who entered—Chu Heting was back? This time, Chu Heting didn’t just stop at the door.  He walked straight into the room but didn’t close the door completely, leaving a small crack. Nian Jin Sui didn’t notice the subtlety of the action; he was too focused on Chu Heting’s sudden return. The pheromones in the room made Chu He...

Huaixu rarely spoke such disheartening words to others, but this time, for some reason, the words just tumbled out in the flow of conversation. It was an oddly intimate topic for their level of acquaintance. Only after speaking did he belatedly realize how heavy the subject was and hurriedly shifted gears with a smile: "Senior, aren’t you about to start your residency soon? Which hospital are you planning to go to?" …… After dinner, Xie Kaiyan drove Huaixu home. When he opened the door, Jing Zhengxuan wasn’t there. Huaixu sent him a message but didn’t get an immediate reply, so he set his phone aside and picked up a book to wait on the sofa. He flipped it open but couldn’t focus, reading only a few words before putting it down again. This was unusual. Ever since the incident in their childhood, he and Jing Zhengxuan had made a pact: no matter where they went, they had to inform the other to avoid worry. Huaixu laughed at himself, thinking his concern was excessive. His childh...
