Drawing Near the Moonlight

Ning Wei had liked Zhou Shilian since their first year of high school.

Zhou Shilian was confident and bold, dazzling and sharp-edged.

People who hated someone like him hated him intensely, but anyone who fell for him would never forget him for the rest of their life.

She thought that even decades later, when she recalled the boy in his school uniform, waiting for her under a streetlight at night, her heart would stir once more.

They met again seven years later.

Ning Wei and Zhou Shilian began living together as boyfriend and girlfriend.

During their relationship, they pretended to be an affectionate couple. In public, they held hands and put their arms around each other openly, doing everything real couples did.

In private, though, they always maintained the most polite social distance.

Ning Wei kept her feelings carefully hidden, too.

She was always waiting for their contract to expire so she could leave Zhou Shilian's world.

Later, one night, Zhou Shilian toyed with a lighter and smiled lazily. "What, thinking of leaving again without a word?"

Ning Wei's hands froze as she packed. He kissed her fiercely.

"Too late."

This time, he would never let her leave his world again.

Ning Wei was terrified of thunderstorms.

While away on a business trip, she stood alone in a hotel, looking out at a city swallowed by rain, seized by fear for no reason she could explain.

The doorbell rang.

Zhou Shilian stood before her dressed in black, his bangs damp. He looked travel-worn, yet his proud, noble air was impossible to hide.

He spoke carelessly. "It suddenly occurred to me that you'd have nightmares tonight."

Ning Wei's heart ached.

After seven years, how could he still remember a fear that meant so little to anyone else?

What she didn't know was that every stormy night, he wanted to be by her side.

He had never forgotten that wish, not for a single day.

Sang Anyue had lived with the Lin family since childhood. Right after graduation, she smoothly married a husband who seemed like a perfect match for her, and became the enviable Mrs. Shen, living in luxury and comfort with a rosy future ahead.

Then one night, she stole a glance at her husband's phone.

"Lanbo, you left your tie at my place."

The contact was saved as B.

B for baby.

The text hit Gao Mingyue's life like a thunderclap. Only then did she realize how foolish her love for Shen Lanbo had been.

She immediately consulted a lawyer about divorce and waited at a hotel to find proof of his affair. But at the hotel entrance, she ran straight into Chen Cheng, Shen Lanbo's nephew.

He dragged her into a room. Just as she was panicking, the young man blinked innocently. "Mingyue, Uncle is about to come in with that woman in his arms. Don't you want to see?"

Gao Mingyue reluctantly agreed. But when Chen Cheng suggested having a drink to relax, she accidentally knocked over the bottle, spilling golden liquid all over his pants.

She hurriedly crouched down to wipe it up.

At that very moment, the door swung open.

The woman she had imagined wasn't there. Only Shen Lanbo stood in the doorway.

The young man smiled at the newcomer like a devil from hell and feigned surprise. "Oh! Uncle, you caught us? Mingyue, what are we going to do?"

Shen Lanbo looked at the white bed, then at his wife between his nephew's legs. A deafening crack rang out, and the doorknob snapped off.

Wood chips flew through the air. Blood seeped from Shen Lanbo's palm, and the terrifying metallic stench made it hard to breathe. "Gao Mingyue, care to explain?"

Both men turned to look at her.

Mingyue's face went deathly pale.

Then it turned red, purple, and blue.

"The sleeping beast awakens for you, revealing itself completely for you."
