Realm of Mirrored Words

That night, Tang Yi-Bai did not dare stay at home, hurrying back to the training base. When he returned, he asked Qi Rui-Feng and found out that Coach Wu had not come looking for him. Lucky, lucky. Still, Tang Yi-Bai found that something was off with Qi Rui-Feng. Feng's strange behaviour was not a sudden thing. It was just over the last two days — as soon as Feng saw him, his mood would turn sour and he would be unresponsive towards him. During meal times, Feng would made absolutely sure he did not sit next to him, and if he had something to ask, he'd seek out Ming Tian or Zheng Ling-Ye and the others, even going so far as to seek out Xiang Yang-Yang to avoid him. It was so strange. Tang Yi-Bai searched his memory and could not recall doing anything to offend Feng, so why then did it feel like Feng was... distancing himself from him? Yes, distancing himself. One could not beat around the bush when dealing with someone as straightforward as Qi Rui-Feng, so Tang Yi-Bai as

Yun Duo called her mother to make peace. It was quite easy to cajole her mother back into good spirits. She said, "Mum, don't be mad. I forgot to tell you. I have a boyfriend now." Mama Yun's attention was successfully shifted to a different track. She fired off questions like bullets, "Really? Where's he from? How old is he? What does he do for a living? What's his monthly salary? What does he look like? Is he tall? Do you have a photo?" She asked all these questions in one long breath, leaving Yun Duo in a daze. "Mum..." Mama Yun was a little rueful. "Duoduo, you didn't go out and find a random boyfriend just to reassure me, right? You don't have to do that." "Mum... what are you thinking of..." Yun Duo was really impressed by the strange twists of her mother's mind. "I'll send you his photo so you can take a look for yourself." "Okay!" Yun Duo found a charming shot of Ta

Mama Yun received a call from her daughter during dinner. Rather surprised, she answered and asked, "Duoduo, what's going on?" "Mum, I need to ask you something." "Okay, go on." "When I was applying for my current job, did you all pull on any strings?" Mama Yun avoided the question. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?" "Mum, just tell me whether you did or did not," said Yun Duo, though based off her mother's hesitant tone, she was already somewhat certain that her mother was hiding something from her. Mama Yun seemed to consider the matter for a moment, and then she said, "It's like this. After your dad and I had a discussion, he did go look for one of his old university schoolmates who is a deputy editor-in-chief at your agency. We didn't tell you at the time, worried that it would disturb you, and your dad and that deputy editor-in-chief aren't that close anyway..." Yun Duo i

Over the course of a day, 'Qi Rui-Feng is the mascot of swimming' had become a trending topic on Weibo. The title seemed to be gaining the momentum to follow him for the rest of his life. Qi Rui-Feng, who had always considered himself a cool suave dominant CEO type, naturally had zero tolerance for the title. He sent Yun Duo another text to express his feelings: I hate you! Well, hate if you have to; the wood has already become a boat {a.k.a. the porridge has already been cooked. What's done is done.} . Yun Duo was very relaxed and nonchalant. She sent back a cartoon gif of a character weeping as they bit on a handkerchief. In the afternoon, Lin Zi's spirits were still rather low. His face was long and he looked slow and lazy, as if he were not fully awake. Yun Duo was a little worried about him. She thought of Qi Rui-Feng and then Lin Sang, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She silently prodded Lin Zi's back and said, "Lin Zi, I have a suggestion." &q
