Chapter 8: Raising a Ruckus
Days went by in an orderly manner. Gu Qiming would hunt in the mountains about every two days. Sometimes, he would spend a night on the mountain. Lin Xing, feeling uneasy, purchased several pouches of beast repellent powder for him to carry. Since Gu Qiming indicated his feelings last time, there hadn't been much contact between the two of them aside from taking Gu Qiming's measurements for clothes. Gu Qiming was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. The boy was too shy, so he could only wait…-

Chapter 7: Pushing the Cart
Gu Qiming tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. His dreams were filled with those round eyes that looked like a cat's, round and luminous. He woke up early the next morning, feeling exhausted. For breakfast, they had baozi. Lin Xing had rendered quite a bit of lard yesterday, and the leftover bits were just perfect for filling the buns. Since the lard had already been rendered, it was fragrant without being greasy. Lin Xing steamed a full pot, unafraid of making too much, as Gu Qiming had…-

When they finally came to their senses, both were momentarily stunned. Gu Qiming withdrew his hand, awkwardly touching his nose, feeling as if the warmth from just moments ago still lingered on his fingertips. "I... I'll go cook," he said. Lin Xing quickly finished washing the remaining vegetables, drained them, and hurried into the kitchen to start cooking, not daring to look back at Gu Qiming. Gu Qiming also didn’t know what had gotten into him. They had only known each other for a few days, and…

In Shíqiáo Town, the streets were bustling as always, lively and packed with people. Lin Xing brought Gu Qiming to the largest tavern in town—Yiwei Pavilion Lin Xing had actually never dined at Yiwei Pavilion before, though he faintly remembered that the restaurant had been famous since his childhood. He heard that the owner was good friends with a top scholar from the past, which added to the place's allure. Even those who didn't come for the meals wanted to bask in the residual good…

"Whoosh—" In the early morning light, a pheasant foraged amidst the mud, searching for food seemingly unperturbed by the forest's goings-on. Suddenly, an arrow sliced through the forest, shattering the tranquility of the scene and piercing the bird's stomach. It fell to the ground with a thud, struggling on the ground while flapping its wings incessantly. "How about that? My aim isn't too bad, right?" Lastly, he visited Lin Xing’s rented out shop[e/n: did this confuse you? Me too- IT WAS…

Lin Xing placed the washed taro into a winnowing basket, arranging them neatly, planning to cut and sun-dry them in a couple of days. They would be great for cooking and making soup. He also intended to take a portion to town, where they could fetch a good price. He casually picked two larger ones to prepare for cooking. Seeing that Gu Qiming's face didn't look too good, he said to him, "I'll go cook. You've been busy in the mountains all day and must be tired. Go rest for a while first." The day had…

After an eerie silence filled the courtyard, with only the sound of Lin Xing washing clothes, Gu Qiming stood with arms folded, pondering over what he could do. Earlier, while tidying up in the west room, he had discovered two bows hanging on the wall. Given the deep and dense woodland to the east, hunting in the mountains may very well be a viable way to make a living. Apart from his strength, Gu Qiming didn't have many other skills to speak of. His marksmanship had been quite accurate during his time…

Chapter 1: Crossing Over
“Damn bastards! Can't shake them off!” Deep in the mountains, the sounds of disordered footsteps and a man’s heavy breathing alternatingly rose and fell. The light from a flashlight kept hitting Gu Qiming, who spat out a curse and didn’t look back as he continued running forward. A few days ago, he had come to Jiangning on a business trip, and this time the client he encountered was quite troublesome. That evening, after dinner, the client insisted on going for a night hike. To ensure the…-
