In the time it took me to outline this article I checked Twitter three times and my email twice. I responded to four emails. I checked Slack once and sent text messages to two people. I went down a rabbit hole of YouTube videos once, costing me about 30 minutes of productivity, and I probably checked my books' ranks on Amazon roughly 3,172 times.

In what should have been 20 minutes of work, I compulsively interrupted myself at least nine times. What's more, the cost of these interruptions goes way beyond the added amount of time to finish this damn thing. They likely distracted my train of thought, reducing the quality of my writing, thus causing a need for more edits and revisions. They likely created anxiety as I spent much of my distracted time anxious about the fact that I wasn't working and much of my time working anxious that I was missing out on text conversations, email threads, or news updates. They likely made the process of writing itself less enjoyable and caused it to appear more taxing in my mind.

These distractions aren't just unproductive, they're anti-productive. They create more work than they replace.

Chances are you go through this do-si-do yourself on the regular. For me, it's only gotten worse as time has gone on—which is strange, because you'd assume that my attention span and focus would be getting stronger as I get older, but that's not been the case.

I started blogging in 2007. I remember plopping down to churn out a 1,000-word draft being easy. I'd just wake up and do it and then go get breakfast. It was somewhere around 2013 where I noticed I was often interrupting myself to check Facebook or email. Then it was around 2015 where I felt it was beginning to become a problem.

I felt that I had to pay attention to my attention, that I had to focus on my focus. It was new. It wasn't something I'd had to think about since I was a kid.

By last year, these interruptions had become compulsive. I didn't know how to not distract myself anymore and had to go to great lengths to prevent it from happening. It felt like I was living in some kind of digital hellscape, where the process of doing anything significant and important seemed not only fruitless but also attentionally impossible.

Random Stuff . . . . This is not my cover! . . . . This was made for fun, not for profit.

It was painful in that instant, but the pain subsided soon after. 
Tang Yuansi's face turned a little pale. As he stared at the sleeping Shangxin, the corner of his mouth curved into a slight arc.
He was so happy.
He was so happy that he seemed so silly.
He had never once imagined that he would have a child, a child that she bore him.
He was so happy he had forgotten that he had heart disease; he just wanted to keep on staring at her and their baby…
Everything that had happened tonight was just like a dream.
Tang Yuansi maintained the same position for a very long time.
After a long while, he shifted his gaze away from Shangxin's sleeping face and turned to stare at her flat tummy.
It appeared to be very flat and he could not tell that a baby was growing inside.
Tang Yuansi thought of something. Taking out the ultrasound photo, he held it in his hands and stared at it repeatedly—it was as if he could not get enough of it no matter how long he stared at it.
He was about to go crazy from holding in the happiness in his heart.
In the end, he reached out for his cell phone, and after thinking about it for a while sent Yu Yuehan a text message.
Apart from expressing his concern and asking if he felt any better after drinking so much alcohol, he also told him that he was about to become a father.
Beep! A cell phone text message alert sounded.
Tang Yuansi switched his phone to silent mode immediately. Annoyed, he turned around and took a glance at the sleeping Shangxin on the bed. He only heaved a sigh of relief after ensuring that she had not been woken by the cell phone alert.
He thought to himself, It's so late and yet that drunk dude is still awake, I can have someone to share my joy of a soon-to-be father too.
Then, he immediately whipped out his cell phone and cast a glance at Yu Yuehan's reply. 
In the end, only one word could be seen in the text message, "Crazy!"
"…"
To be honest, if not for the fact that he was busy caring for Shangxin and the baby in her tummy right now, he might just have headed to the Yu Family villa to fight Yu Yuehan the very moment he saw that word.
After some thinking, he figured that Yu Yuehan might not know that Shangxin had already returned to the country. As such, after reading his text message, he might have thought that Tang Yuansi was indeed too hurt and that he had gone crazy and wasn't scolding him after all.
Taking into consideration that Yu Yuehan was a good friend who would accompany him for an 'alcohol versus plain water' drinking session, Tang Yuansi pursed his thin lips and sent him another message.
"Shangxin is back."
After thinking about it, he raised the ultrasound picture and took a photo of it before sending it out.
Afraid that Yu Yuehan might not be able to understand it, he added, "This is our baby, I am about to become a dad!"
Yu Yuehan replied a minute later.
This time, there were no words and only six dots could be seen on the text message. 
To be exact, it looked like this, "..."
Tang Yuansi smiled the moment he saw the six dots on his cell phone.
Yu Yuehan must have been dumbfounded since he had used punctuation, eh?
That's right, he knew that any ordinary person would be this happy the moment they knew that he was about to become a father.
He was definitely not silly.
After Tang Yuansi placed his cell phone down, he changed into his sleeping attire and walked back to the bed.
Just when he was about to climb in bed, he suddenly saw that the screen of his cell phone had lit up.
He reached out and took a glance at it—it was a text message from Yu Yuehan.
He had expressed his words through a single photo.
Xiao Liuliu was lying on the pillow; her delicate little face was rosy red, just like a jelly dessert. 
She was sleeping very soundly and she was even holding onto one of Yu Yuehan's fingers tightly with her tiny hand, refusing to let go even though she had fallen asleep.
The Xiao Liuliu in the photo appeared to be less than three years old and so this should be an old photo. Nonetheless, her squishy and tender looks still struck one's heart.


Yu Yuehan is the usual rich, perfect, aloof president—the richest man in City H; but one day, a female toddler suddenly appears in his life as his daughter! Despite being certain that he has never touched a woman before, DNA tests certify that the toddler is his! He soon becomes a good 'daddi' for the little toddler, Xiao Liuliu.

Two years later, for some inexplicable reason, Xiao Liuliu becomes very fond of a trial nurse, Nian Xiaomu, hired to take care of her. Nian Xiaomu has a strong personality and refuses to let anyone bully her. Constantly wary that anyone might cause harm to his daughter, Yu Yuehan keeps a constant watch over Nian Xiaomu. However, his black-bellied daughter has plans for her father up her sleeves… Over time, Nian Xiaomu reveals her charming side bit by bit; and for the first time in his life, Yu Yuehan is drawn in by this mysterious woman…

Keywords: Mysterious Daughter, Cute Daughter, Aloof, Nurse, Strong Woman

Cute Scene:

"Daddi, you are so handsome!" Xiao Liuliu blushes.
"Daddi, I want hugs!" Xiao Liuliu coos.
"Daddi, I want a younger sister! Quick make one with Mommi."
"Daddi…"
Yu Yuehan says in a deadpan fashion, "I have never slept with any woman! How can I have a daughter!?"
"Did Mommi sleep with you without you realizing it?"
Yu Yuehan: "…”

Having only pure thoughts in mind, Ginny smiled and responded to Alan. "Even if we talk about treating for a meal, it should be me treating you. Not the other way around."

"Huh?" Hearing neither a yes nor no answer, he looked at her with mixed emotions. 

"Did you forget? You're the one who helped me find my ring last time. If it weren't for you, I would lose something very precious to me. As a thank you, it should be me treating you to a meal. As for the meal that Lin Que owes me, I was just fooling around when I said it." She waved her hand in a fanning gesture with a smile that showed her top row of teeth and faintly curved lips. 

Just like that, he watched her walk to a less crowded corner to not block anyone's path. When she turned around with an indifferent smile, his feet felt like he was super glued to the spot; unable to move a step forward. It was the same feeling he had the other day as well. Mesmerized...or perhaps even moved by her genuine smile. 

Watching Ginny approach him, the slowly minimizing gap between them increased the excitement in his drum beating heart; her eyes remained locked to his. "Alan? Are you alright?" She waved her hand in front of his face to drag him out of his dreamland. 

She was waiting for him at the corner, but saw him standing in a daze. Worried he might have fallen ill or was in pain, she walked back to where he stood. As she exhaled, her shoulders relaxed. "Hmm? Uhm, Yeah. I'm fine. I was just having some thoughts in my mind," Alan blinked and smiled at her.

"Let's wait for Auntie over there. There are fewer people walking around, so we won't be in anyone's way." She pointed to the corner next to a plant.

"Okay," he followed behind her this time. After some second thoughts, he decided to ask her for her number. "Since you wouldn't accept the free meal because you think you owe me a meal, then how about we exchange numbers? We could go out for two dinner meals. I'll treat you once, and you treat me once."

"Just dinner only? No breakfast or lunch?" She teased as she took out her phone and unlocked it to add his number to the contacts list.

"Any time for any meal." He pulled out his phone to add her number. 

"Sure." Just like that he successfully got her number without her noticing a deeper meaning behind his request. As they saved each other's contacts, Alan said, "Oh, I might get you mixed up with another Ginny. How about using a selfie as the contact photo so I could tell it's you?"

"Pfft, then let's take a picture together. This way, it'll be more distinguishable." She opened the beauty photo app from her phone and stood beside him as she aimed the front camera of her phone to fit both of them in the frame. Since she was shorter than him, he extended his hand to hold the phone for her.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Yep! Ready whenever you are." She replied as she smiled towards the camera. Following her bright smile in front of the camera, he also smiled along and took a few pictures. Double-checking the quality of the pictures, Ginny raised three fingers with her index finger and thumb curved to form an "O" shape. 

"Sent you the picture by text messages. Oh! Auntie is back." She said as she put away her phone and walked towards Toby. 

Toby smiled and said, "I got my phone. Let's go. See you next time, Alan." 

Ginny also waved, "Bye Alan!"

"Bye.." he watched as the two of them left to the parking lot. Looking down at his phone, his thumb slid across the picture he received by text. His curved lips reflected from his phone screen as he whispered, "Definitely see you next time."

On Monday morning, Lin Que woke up an hour early to drive to the nearest flower shop by his home, which was located twenty minutes in the opposite direction from where the hospital was located. As he entered, the shop assistant locked her eyes on the potential customer, whose appearance almost blinded her sight under the sunlight that shone on him. 

"Sir, how may I assist you today?" Drawing in a steady breath, she gathered her professionalism to greet him with an amiable smile. His pleasant smile perfectly matched with the fresh droplets on the morning delivery of roses in the store. 

"Can I get a bouquet of pink carnations?" His sight immediately attracted itself to the protective pink of the pink carnations. 

"Of course. Would you like me to wrap it up?" She asked as she presented a few ribbon choices in her hands and gift wraps for him to choose from.

"Sure. It's for visiting a special granny's grave. I'm not sure what color would be suitable for this occasion, so I'll let you be the judge of it." He smiled dazzlingly, almost as moving as the flowers in her hand; similar to miniature pearls of exquisite delicacy, the word, stunning, could not even match its description.

"Yes, right away." She quickly wrapped the bouquet and completed his purchase. 

Around eleven, he clocked out of the system and went to pick Lily up. She was already dressed by the time he knocked on her door. After getting used to seeing her in the same colored patient outfit, he almost forgot how beautiful regular outfits looked on her. 

Perhaps it was for her grandmother; she wore a long-sleeved cream-colored dress with simple flower embroider designs on the waistband. Seeing Lin Que by the door, she took her purse and phone. "I'm ready to go," she smiled.

"Hold on. It's a bit chilly today. Here, take your jacket with you." He walked into her room and took the denim jacket behind her chair. 

"Mm." She replied and followed him to the parking lot. He opened the passenger side first and waited for her to settle before getting into the driver's seat. 

Before starting the ride, he took the bouquet from the back of the seat and handed it to her. "Here, hold this, so the flowers won't be squished in the back."

"These are really beautiful. They're fresh too." Taking a close sniff on the flowers, a sense of sorrow showed in her eyes. As if catching her change of emotions, he slowly leaned over towards her side. 

Raising her head, she realized that he was getting closer to her. Subconsciously, she squeezed her eyes shut.

The first time was a coincidence.
Second time could be called good timing.
Third time is destiny.

The first time they met, they were both cosplaying at an Anime Convention. Coincidentally, she was Usagi Tsukino, and he happened to be Tuxedo Mask from the anime, Sailor Moon. 

Their first gaze caught his attention.
Her first smile swept his heart away. 
She walked towards him, and he was ready to take off the mask to talk to her. Unfortunately, it was all a misunderstanding.

This was their first time crossing paths, but he facepalmed so hard when he realized he got the wrong idea that he changed his "Hi," into an anime's title, "Hitman Reborn." At that time, he watched her approach another person who acted as Tuxedo Mask behind him. The smile she had on her face wasn't towards him. It was a mistake.

Two months later

Second time they met was at their graduation. His brother, Lucas, flew back from overseas to attend his graduation in place of his parents. After taking countless pictures with his brother and some with friends, they left campus. Inside his black Mercedes, his brother shoved several well taken photos and showed it to him.

Just when he was about to answer his regular plain response, the words swallowed back down his throat. He held his brother's phone and zoomed in to the back where he saw her again! Once again, a facepalm landed on his face as he couldn't believe that there could be such timing. He could've gotten her name!

After a few days later, he got off his shift late and realized that he didn't go grocery shopping. Since his fridge was empty, he decided to have his meal at a newly opened Szechuan Spicy Bowl restaurant. 

"It shouldn't take that long to get a seat at this time.." Or so he thought.

When he got there, the place was full and he didn't have much patience since he was alone. Right when he was about to leave, the waiter asked if he minded sharing a table. 

"Sure." 
He sat down across from the girl and ordered from the menu. When she took a few napkins to wipe her nose, he took the chance to thank her for sharing the table.
And there she was with her Beyond Human level spicy bowl...
Although they only exchanged a few words, he found her very interesting. A girl eating at this hour without caring about her weight and her surrounding. She was adorable. 

The clumsy her forgot her newly printed business cards at her seat when she left. 

"Lily Jiang," he smiled. He thought of bringing this to her when he is free, but who knew that they would meet again at the hospital?

His lips twitched when he faced his new patient, "Hello, Miss. Jiang, I am Lin Que, your doctor for this visit. Where do you feel uncomfortable?" He looked at the medical report in hand as he couldn't believe his luck with this girl.

Next morning,Jonathan wokeup around 9 am,as it was a holiday.He then walked upto his restroom,freshened up and came to the kitchen to prepare bread toast for breakfast.He placed the slices in the toaster.Just then his phone started ringing.He took the phone and went to the balcony with a glass of milk on the other hand.It was Steve.
"Good morning,Young Master"
"Good morning Steve"
"Do you want me to arrange anything for lunch as usual?"Steve asked politely.
As usual? Was he thinking that Jonathan cannot take care of himself.
"No.Its fine.I will make something myself"
"But,master?"
"Its fine.Its not a big deal"just as he finished the sentence,the fire alarm in the kitchen began to ring.He disconnected the call and ran into the kitchen.There was a lot of smoke coming from the toaster.He quickly unplugged the toaster ,opened the windows and switched on the exhaust fan.After a while the smoke slowly started to clear.
He then went to the toaster and took out the bread slice which now looked like a piece of coal.
"Yeah.No big deal."he sighed.The truth was he never once tried cooking.The only thing he knew was making tea.To begin with,He was from a rich family so if he needed food all he had to do was give Steve a call and in a while the food will be served before him.It was as simple as that.
He cleaned the mess he had created and went to the living room.He took out his phone to make an order.That was when he saw he had about 10 missed calls ,all from Steve.He called him back.
"Young Master,What happened?I heard an alarm.Is everything ok?"his voice was shaking 
"Yeah.Yeah.Everything is fine.Someone nextdoor left their toaster on"he lied.Besides he didn't wanna let him know that couldn't even make a bread toast.
Steve knew that only Jonathan's house was in the 10th level.But he decided not to reveal his Master's lie.
"Did you get any info on that black car?"Jonathan changed the topic.
"No master.We are keeping a watch on the CCTV cameras around the area"Steve replied.
"Okay."
"Master.Do you like to come back home for lunch?"he asked as he knew that his Master won't be able to cook a decent food.
"Didn't I tell you earlier.I can manage on my own."Jonathan replied not admitting defeat.
"I also have some assignments to work on."saying so he disconnected the call.
Steve couldn't help but sigh at how stubborn his Master was.
Jonathan then sent a text to Sandriya.
'Can we discuss about the assignments today?' 
In a few minutes he received a text from her.
'Did you forget that I have work?I have to do extra shifts for taking 2 days off'
Jonathan was disappointed.

After a while ,his phone started ringing again.It was Sandriya.
"Hey.We can finish our assignments today"she said.
"Really.Didn't you say you had work?"he asked.
"Yeah.I did.But my manager called me just now.She said that she had decided to reduce my shifts as I am working hard lately.And guess what she also said she has increased my salary.I can't believe it.Less work time with an increment."She said excitedly.
"Your hard work has really paid you well.So when can we start?"he asked.
"Sharply at 4.Is that fine?"she asked 
"Yeah."
"Okay then.I am gonna have my lunch"
"Okay"
"Did you have lunch?"she asked him
"No.I am not hungry.So I didn't cook"he said quietly.
"Okay then.See you at 4"she replied and disconnected the call.Knowing that she didn't suspect a thing ,his lips curved into a smile.
After he received the text from Sandriya earlier he immediately called Steve.
"Steve.I want you to contact 'Expresso cafe'.My friend Sandriya works there.Ask the Manager to reduce her shifts,give her day offs on weekends and also about her salary,they neednot pay her.She will receive the money from our company instead."he instructed.
"But Master.Isn't this a little too much?"Steve asked politely
"Make sure Sandriya doesn't know who was behind her increment.It should be as if she was awarded for her work.Do I make myself clear?"he asked not minding a single word of what Steve said.
"Yes master"Steve sighed in defeat and did as his Master had instructed.
Jonathan was happy with the result.He then texted Steve 'Well done' and put his mobile beside him and relaxed on the sofa with his head facing the ceiling and closed his eyes.

Now.Why was he doing this?He just wanna spend more time with her.Its normal to spend a lot of time with your friend right?

Jonathan was starting to feel a bit hungry.He slowly rubbed his tummy.It was already 2 pm and he had not eaten anything since morning except for a glass of milk.
He took his phone again and started looking at the menu for ordering food.
Just when he was about press confirm,he heard a knock on the door...

Sandriya is the female protogonist.The story portrays her as a successful woman in the business empire.She is a person who has acheived a lot in such a young age.The story revolves around her mysterious past and the other situations her future has kept in store for her....

Gu Qing Shan opens his eyes, pulling out 2 arrows from the quiver, set them both on the arrow, slightly pulled and let go.

As the 2 arrows quickly flew out, they drew a twisting curved pattern on the air, both pinning a single leaf to its tree.

Curved arrows!

Gu Qing Shan's heart slightly jumps, the Skill was just as he thought.

This way, the trajectory of his attacks becomes unpredictable.

"Using spirit energy to guide the path…"

Gu Qing Shan mumbled, then got ready to use "Swallows Fly Twice" again.

The 2 arrows shot out at different directions, each drawing a large curve, avoiding trees in their way, both hitting a fleeing rabbit around 100 meters away within the dense forest.

Even Gu Qing Shan, as a person who returned from more than 10 years in the future, was highly fascinated by this Skill.

So this is humanity's General-class archery Skill.

Gu Qing Shan paced back and forth, thought a bit to himself and raised the bow.

Rapid Fire!

Swallows Fly Twice!

As the bowstring kept being pulled back again and again, the arrows it shot all curved in weird ways, not hitting their targets.

Gu Qing Shan frowned, again fell into thought.

"Swallows Fly Twice" is a very good skill, but why can't he do a rapid fire with it, could it be that powerful skills like this have a cooldown?

No, that can't be right.

He experimented again and again, still not able to succeed.

Swallows Fly Twice is a high-level Archery skill, so if it's used consecutively you can't guarantee the precision anymore.

No, that's also not correct.

Gu Qing Shan in a frenzy-like state, kept experimenting again and again, halfway through he even unconsciously combined "Solid" in as well.

After an hour.

Two arrows shot turned into grey shadows, almost seeming like real live snakes, drawing a twisting curving trajectory, both hitting a leaf at the same time.

The arrows flying trajectory cannot be predicted at all, combined with a rapid fire speed, anyone that faces Gu Qing Shan's arrows will completely be overwhelmed, not knowing how or where to dodge at all.

Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded, lowering his bow.

Sure enough, you can actually do it, the only problem being whether or not you can spend the effort to think, to practice the skills.

Ping!

The sudden System sound made Gu Qing Shan's heart jumped.

Glancing up, he saw on the War God UI, the round button representing "War God Skills" was flashing a notice.

"User Gu Qing Shan combined three Archery skills into one, creating a new skill: Shifting Flurry"
"Shifting Flurry (primary), fire 5 consecutive arrows with unpredictable trajectory to attack enemies in a very short time period" (TN: as in elementary, the very first level)

This is possible!?

Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth in surprise, staring speechlessly at the "(primary)" next to the skill name.

The word "primary" means that there will be a higher grade.

Who would've thought he could create a Growth Skill just like that.

As he was still surprised, a shining small line of text appeared on War God UI.

"Growth Skills are exceptionally rare; user is advised to train it more in order to raise its level as soon as possible"

That's right, a regular skill's strength is dependent only on how much spirit energy is put into it, its output changes depending on how much spirit energy is used.

But Growth Skills are different.

A unique aspect of all Growth Skills is that, as a player train his Skill works more and more, its own power will also rise, all the way until heaven.

These types of skills are so rare you can only pray and hope to get one.

At later stages of the game, when Growth Skills have already reached a certain peak, some of them even started to be praised as "Semi-Divine Skills".

Anyone with a Growth Skill becomes a person for people to look up to in envy.

Gu Qing Shan breaths in and solemnly raises his bow.

Shifting Flurry!

Pew pew pew pew pew, five consecutive sounds, five shadows quickly flew, just like a chaotic dance of snakes and dragons!

Every arrow seems to be alive, drawing different arcs across the air, dodging every obstacle, finally hitting the same branch more than 200 meters away.

Gu Qing Shan is completely stunned, stunned by his own Skill.

After a while, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "System, can I keep combining regular skills to make Growth Skills?"

The War God UI is silent for a bit, then suddenly a line of text:

"Comprehending others' skills is just an initial function, helping the user to constantly create more Growth Skills, that is the true purpose of War God Skills"

Gu Qing Shan sighs, mumbling to himself: "So I was wrong this whole time, so this is the true value of War God Skills"

Looking at the row of buttons at the bottom of his War God UI, only "War God Skills" is active right now.

But this one function has already given him so much to be surprised about.

If one day, all of my skills are Growth Skills…

Simply terrifying.

Gu Qing Shan tightly grips the military bow, suddenly gaining greater a sense of confidence.

Growth Skills and Soul Points, both of these are very unique things.

Using Soul Points to increase his level and skills is already much more cost effective compared to using Experience points.

At least in the short run, through the use of "military qi training method", the amount of Soul Points required for every level is still trivial.

Gu Qing Shan can just use Soul Points to level up instead of being like the players in his past life, having to struggle and collect each and every bit of Experience point possible.

At later stages of the game, every level requires a terrifying amount of Experience Points, greatly slowing down how quickly a player can increase their own fighting strength.

Aside from that, there's also the War God UI, letting him create Growth Skills by himself.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly had a feeling, he can definitely go much further now compared to his past life.

Since his unexpected return to the past, Gu Qing Shan's heart was always under a constant pressure and a sense of urgency.

This is a lost age, a part of history where players didn't exist.

Since his return, he could see strange things that was different from his past life everywhere, many things that he didn't know about before are now quietly happening.

Even the near-invincible chaotic species Faceless Giant already appeared.

Gu Qing Shan could almost feel the grip of death inching closer and closer.

This type of intuition is instinctive, having saved his life in the past numerous times.

For the sake of the present, he has to desperately get stronger, so that in a future not far from now, at the time that death comes, he'll be able to find that one chance of survival.

Gu Qing Shan sighs again, glancing at the War God UI to look at his skill column.

Right now, on the skill column there are 3 skills "Solid", "Rapid Fire", "Shifting Flurry (primary)".

Swallows Fly Twice is already gone, completely replaced by Shifting Flurry.

Unlike the first 3 Skills he got, "Shifting Flurry" requires more spirit energy to control the arrows' flight, as well as having a "primary" ranking.

This is nothing surprising, stronger Skills naturally require more spirit energy.

After this, I'll have to spend quite a bit of time to train this Skill, quickly raising "Shifting Flurry" skill rank.

Gu Qing Shan quickly packed up and prepared to leave.

Not far from here, demon beasts seem to have already caught the bloody smell of the serpent's corpse, their roaring getting closer.

Pfft!

Without any warning, he suddenly coughed up black blood.

Gu Qing Shan was shocked, but couldn't help himself and coughed up blood two more times.

Wiping the blood off his mouth, Gu Qing Shan tried smelling it.

A faint foul smell.

This is poison.

Why was there suddenly poison in his body? And why did it get forced out?

Gu Qing Shan immediately became cautious, circulating spirit energy around his body to carefully examine himself.

There was nothing wrong with his body, in fact, thanks to the snake liver's nutrition, you could say it's been rejuvenated.

Even the spirit energy inside his Dantian became more fluid, more natural.

This is thanks to the rare snake demon liver.

He was fortunate.

It seems that he unknowingly got poisoned by the serpent demon during the fight from before.

Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh.

The serpent really wasn't as simple as he thought, being able to poison him without him knowing.

If the fight had dragged on any longer, it's hard to say who would be killed first.

Luckily I didn't want the fight to drag on so I finished it off as quickly as possible.

If he didn't kill it so quickly, if he didn't eat its liver right away, if the poison hadn't been revealed so quickly, who knows what would've happened

Evidently, these kinds of rare demon beasts all have one or two aces hidden.

Gu Qing Shan felt a little bit of fear.

either forced or tempted Mr TL being contracted.

let's see when FP use will lasted before being premiumed and go dropped.

Ken Xue assured her. "How about I visit you afterward. We can catch up?"
"Really?" She exclaimed.
"I meant it. I have business in Lyon and is planning to stop in Lyon." He replied.
"Okay, I'll see you. I'll be your host." She replied earnestly not knowing what was in stored for her.
Yu Sha waved bye to Hue Chi and took off. A part of her felt glad for the interruptions. Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do with the intense back hugs.
"Ken, if you come while I'm still home, call me."
"Give me your number." Ken Xue replied and handed his phone to her.
She took the phone and punched in her number.
"You travel for work?" She assumed based on what she concluded as his career, photography.
"Mm.."
Although not all true, he does travel often for work related to his country.
A staff came to escort Yu Sha to the aircraft gate.
She looked at Hue Chi one last time and parted ways.
He watched her back until the gate door closed shut, separating them and then looked over at Ken Xue, "What's the bracelet?"
Ken Xue looked surprised. "You knew?"
"It was not the first time you eyed at her bracelet. It's not ordinary isn't it?" He can only speculate based on what Yu Sha told him.
There is no point in Ken Xue hiding it. He took a few steps closer to Hue Chi and spoke in a low tone so no one heard them.
"There is a seal cast inside the bracelet, the Sorrow Seal. It seals off any unpleasant memories and dreams. But it's the first time the seal was cast on an item and not directly on the person."
"Unpleasant is such a light term." Hue Chi mumbled. From knowing what power the bracelet holds, he knew why it was placed. Those memories were nothing short of unpleasantness, but Ken Xue was known to be kind and his word choices are always light to the heart.
Ken Xue added, "Let's finish our work quickly and go visit her. I'm very interested in the person who cast the seal."
Hue Chi was also interested in the person who cast the seal. If there was a way to seal off her "unpleasant" memories forever, he rather her not remember those unpleasant times. After witnessing her dreams first hand last night, he felt resolute in not allowing her to remember.
The two princes walked side by side towards the parking lot. On their walk, Ken Xue shook his head.
"Miss Yu Sha has a bright personality... It would be unfortunate if she is devoured by darkness."
Hue Chi paused, "What did you said?"
"I'm not sure of the whole picture but she seems to carry a heavy burden on her shoulder. It's the only reason I can think of why the Sorrow Seal was cast on the bracelet. There were only 3 instances recorded in history where the seal was used, but all those times, it was cast directly on the person and not on an item."
Ken Xue likes geology and ruins, so it wasn't a big surprise for Hue Chi to see him knowledgeable in this area.
In the aircraft, Yu Sha realized that she was the only one on board. The plan was spacious, had everything a high-end flat have. She then realized that she might be in one of the royal's aircraft?
Headaches crawled through her head when she thought of the potential consequences. She felt he was doing this on purpose to create chaos in her life and unhappiness among the social elite circles.
She sent him a text.
"If I knew, I would decline your offer. I rather book another flight. You're sewing discord with your people."
A few minutes later, she received a reply.
"That is my problem. There won't be any repercussion for you."
She sighed lost for words, feeling confused with her own emotions. The more time she spent with him, the more her heart yearned for his presence, yet at the same, her heart felt just as heavy and lost.
Several hours later, Yu Sha arrived at the airport. Her father waited at the airport but she was at the VIP terminal, so it took a while to get to the main lobby. She didn't want to tell him in fear of having to explain why.
"Dad. Sorry, I'm late." She explained when she met him.
"It's okay. Let's go." He took the luggage from her.
"How's grammy and mamma?"
"Same as usual." He replied.
Yu Sha sat on the passenger side and buckled her belt. Her father drove off and headed home. During the drive, she asked. "Dad... What exactly does mamma do? And why don't you go back to work?"
Her father remained calmed but his eyes looked dazed for a moment before replying, "Is something wrong?"
"No, not really. I've just been doing some soul searching and wanted to know my roots. I am an adult now. I believe the more I know about my roots, the more grounded I'll be."
"Fair enough. Let's find some time to talk during your stay."
Yu Sha took out her phone and sent a text to Su Na.
"My love! I'm back. I'll visit auntie tomorrow. See you later!"
Su Na took the report from Troy and bid him farewell when her phone buzzed. She paused to look at the phone and saw a text from Yu Sha. A corner of her mouth curved up.
With her back towards Troy, she waved, "Thanks for the materials."
"Oy... Miss Su Na, think thrice before you do anything. They are dangerous people."
Troy didn't complete all the tasks Yu Sha laid out for him. He only gathered information about them. He had a feeling that this might lead to something bigger and opted to not get involved. 
She continued to walk and out the door without turning back. She had never felt this determined in her life even if she must walk this road alone.


Genre: Modern Fantasy Romance, Super Natural, Multiple Lives, Action, Comedy, Mystery

Yu Sha was born prematurely and her heart wasn’t fully closed. The first several years of her life, were often spent in the hospital undergoing procedures. But she did not let her condition defined who she is. She worked hard and excelled in sports and PE class. 

Su Na’s mother had gone through a traumatic experience which caused her to be frequently hospitalized. As long as she could remember, she never had a father. It wasn’t until later she learned the ugly truth and make it her life long mission to build her own empire in order to crush the person who made her mother suffered. 

The hospital was where they met and became good friends. They attended the same classes and schools. Upon graduating early, they embarked on a journey to stardom to build Su Na’s empire. 


Hue Chi, Prince of Aires, had everything anyone could dream of but carried an illness to himself. The woman that haunted him in his sleep, who was she? How was she able to control his emotions, waking him up in the middle of the night, sometimes, in terror, in pain, and sometimes in happiness? The emotions she elicits locked his heart cold, unable to like any other woman, thus distancing himself from others. People are scared to approach him due to the distant and icy auras around him. 

Just as the universe planned it, Yu Sha and Su Na won their bid on a project in Aires, which will require them to live in Aires for at least half a year. As Prince of an entire continent, he felt unsettled of two young female prodigies. Do they come with hidden motives? Not sure if they have anything to do with the secret organization he has been after, he ordered them to fly into Aires for a meet and greet with the investors and other companies involved in the project. 

Unforeseen in his calculation, his eyes drifted towards her anytime she was nearby. He reasoned with himself that he just wanted to make sure of her status and purpose, but somewhere in his heart, he couldn’t gravitate away. The way she talked, her behaviors, her voice, and demeanor elicited the same emotions of the woman that haunted him in his dreams. 

Some may think destiny is cruel and some may think that destiny is kind for playing with people’s heart, as it seemed the world was not small enough to allow them to be lovers, but not wide enough so their path will never cross.

Something was wrong and her heart was uneasy.
Knowing Zhang Yu Han, Li Qin Yao was aware that he was someone who would always alert with his phone. Even when his phone was set on silent mode, Zhang Yu Han was someone who would always check on his notification. It was a habit that he developed as he was looking after his grandfather.
Therefore, when Zhang Yu Han had not replied to her text or answering her call, Li Qin Yao was starting to worry. 
Fortunately, in their last conversation, Zhang Yu Han had told her that his flight has safely arrived in Y City or else, Li Qin Yao's mind might start to run wild, thinking nothing but unpleasant thought.
Li Qin Yao stared at her phone absentmindedly. A few staff walked past her to bid goodbye, but she could not give them any attention. Her mind was occupied with the whereabouts of her boyfriend.
It felt as if he had suddenly disappeared.
Li Qin Yao was restless as she could not reach him. At this time, she was worried that something might happen to her boyfriend.
It couldn't be that he had seen her text an hour ago and was now driving over to B City to see her, right?
Li Qin Yao quickly dismissed that thought as quickly as it has appeared.
Even if Zhang Yu Han was driving, he could still answer her call using those hands-free gadgets.
Minutes ticked by and Li Qin Yao felt her heartbeat accelerated. Until she heard a word from Zhang Yu Han, she would not be at ease.
Li Qin Yao scrolled through the contact list on her phone and stopped at his grandfather's name. Just before she pressed on the call button, Li Qin Yao retracted her finger.
Zhang Jing was someone with high blood pressure and other elderly's health issues. It was the main reason why his grandson was so strict with his diet.
At the thought that her call regarding his grandson might agitate him, Li Qin Yao decided not to make the phone call. After pondering for a while, Li Qin Yao decided to go with the next person on the list. His sister, Zhang Yu Ying.
It did not take Zhang Yu Ying a long time to pick up her phone call.
"Sister-in-law!" Zhang Yu Ying's usual cheery voice greeted her as the call was connected. 
"Yu Ying," Li Qin Yao forced a smile. 
"Un. What's the matter?"
"I," Li Qin Yao hesitated, not knowing how to ask the question. Taking a deep breath, Li Qin Yao decided to go for it. "Yu Ying, have you seen or heard anything from your brother?"
"My brother?" Zhang Yu Ying echoed. There was a hint of confusion in her tone. "I saw him a couple of hours ago. He dropped by the office to send in some documents and discussed some matter with Grandfather. Right. He told me that he was going to see you," Zhang Yu Ying paused when she sensed that it was strange that her sister-in-law called to ask about her brother. "Is he not with you?"
"No," Li Qin Yao let out a loud sigh as she forehead. "I tried to reach his number, but he did not pick up my call."
"Huh?" Zhang Yu Ying frowned. "That's strange. My brother would always pick up a phone call. Sister-in-law, hold on for a while. I'll check."
Li Qin Yao pursed at her lips as she heard Zhang Yu Ying picked up the landline to call her brother. After a few attempts, Zhang Yu Ying could not reach for her brother. After pondering for a while, Zhang Yu Ying decided to call her brother's best friend, Wei Jun Hao.
The last time she saw her brother, he was with Wei Jun Hao to brief their report to Grandfather. Afterward, Wei Jun Hao was the one who sent him back to his apartment.
Fortunately, Wei Jun Hao picked up her phone calls. After checking with Wei Jun Hao about her brother's whereabouts, Zhang Yu Ying then returned to Li Qin Yao.
"Sister-in-law, you're still there?" Zhang Yu Ying asked.
"Un. I'm here."
"I talked to Brother Jun Hao. He told me that he sent my brother back to his apartment and left after that. Oh right! I just remember something," Zhang Yu Ying hesitated. "The last time I saw my brother in the office, I noticed that he had a sore throat. Brother Jun Hao said that he might catch a cold and now he is resting in his apartment. If that was true, that would explain why my brother did not pick up the phone."
"A cold?"
"Hmm," Zhang Yu Ying nodded. "Usually when he had a cold, my brother would choose to sleep and nothing can wake him up."
Li Qin Yao paused. Hearing Zhang Yu Ying's words only made her worry about him. At least she now knew that Zhang Yu Han was safe. But at the thought of her boyfriend staying at his apartment alone made her heart anxious. 
Zhang Yu Ying was about to say that she could ask Wei Jun Hao to check on her brother, but at the thought that she could create a chance for her brother to be alone with her sister-in-law, Zhang Yu Ying changed her mind.
It was better if she could make her brother happy.
She had long noticed that her brother was already in a bad mood when he returned from M City. 
Anyway, it has been a few days since the couple met. Initially, her brother had wanted to meet with her sister-in-law, but because he was unwell, he did not even realize that he had missed his date. 
At the thought of acting as her brother's fairy godmother, Zhang Yu Ying lips unknowingly curved into a smile.
"Sister-in-law, if you're worried, you can always visit my brother at his apartment," Zhang Yu Ying said. "I am swamped with work. It would be hard for me to check on him and I did not want Grandfather to worry. If you can check on my brother, that would be great."
"I," Li Qin Yao hesitated. "I did not know where his apartment is."
Although she frequently visited Y City, Zhang Yu Han would always take her back to his grandfather's residence instead of his apartment.
"Don't worry. I'll text you his address and his passcode," Zhang Yu Ying spoke quickly. "If he did not come to the door, you can key in his passcode and enter his apartment. I'm worried that my brother might be in deep sleep after taking some medicine."
"Will that be alright?" Li Qin Yao started to wonder if it would be a good idea to appear at his apartment without notice.
"Of course it will. If it's you, then my brother would be happy if you show up," Zhang Yu Ying said quickly. "Anyway, you would not be at ease until you see my brother, right?"
Li Qin Yao pursed her lips at Zhang Yu Ying's words. She weighed her choices and made her decision. "Alright. Text me his address."


The first time he saw her, shooting a three-pointer at the high school basketball state tournament, Zhang Yu Han fell in love at first sight. When he tried to look for the girl, he found that she was not part of the school team or any other team. And just like that, his first love ended before it could even begin. Ten years later, Li Qin Yao was having a meal by herself after her friend stood her up. Because of that, she coincidentally eavesdropped to the others’ blind date, where the man was subtly trying to show that he was not interested, and the woman was trying her best to impress him. Anyway, that man did have the type of deep voice that she liked. However, as the man left, he accidentally mistook her phone as his. When the two met again, Zhang Yu Han was ecstatic upon meeting the girl he had fallen in love with years ago. The bad news was that: she was in a relationship. --- Author’s note: This is a slow romance with not too much drama surrounding the main couple’s relationship (hopefully!). Though the relationship progressed slowly, I can assure you that they will be better, and perhaps soon, fluffier? ----- Cover: edited image found on Pinterest ----- Support me at https://ko-fi.com/zetsubouaichan

Yvonne stared longingly at her phone. Specifically,  she was staring at a message on the screen. It was the message from Emil


"You should just call instead of staring blankly at your phone !"  Sandra exclaimed when she couldn't stand the lonely look on Yvonne's face no longer


" He's busy"


" Then text him"


" He has promised to call me tomorrow" Yvonne softly said, it was almost like a whisper


" There, you have your answer, so stop staring at your phone and go to sleep. Am sure he will call"   Sandra comforted  while she climbed her bed and laid down

"But I miss him"

" What? Did you say something? " Sandra  asked as she didn't hear what Yvonne said

Yvonne shook her head and spout, "Nothing"

" Okay "

Yvonne continued staring blankly at her phone, ' Should she text him as Sandra suggested? Or should she  just wait for his call tomorrow?'

She read the message over and  over again to make sure she didn't leave any word  out.

" Let's go shopping tomorrow "  Sandra who had been silent for some minutes suddenly said

"No I will pass"

" Am not taking no for an answer !" Sandra said with a frown. She shot Yvonne a warning look.

" Okay, I will go, but not tomorrow"  Yvonne tried to compromise 

" I knew you were going to say this, but for your information my dear friend, am already use to your tactics. NO means NO !"

" But why should I go shopping if am in no need of anything?" 

"You shouldn't need something before you go shopping."

" Is that so?Then why should I shop?"

" Just for a fresh change" 

" Okay, I promise to go with you, but let's just postpone it to some other day"

" Why not tomorrow? Besides, we don't have class"

" I want to spend the day with... with him"

" Him? who are y..., okay, I now get it"  Sandra laughed knowingly " You should have said so earlier"

" Did you gave me a chance? " Yvonne rolled her eyes at her friend

" Then I will have to make plans with my fiancé "  

"Fiancé? I thought he's your boyfriend. When did the two of you get back engaged?"

Sandra rolled her eyes, " He's my boyfriend slush fiancé slush husband ! All the titles came with the package" she said

"Package? what package?" Yvonne asked in confusion

'Where from the package when they are talking about her " fiancé "!'

" Duhh, am referring to Rex, my boyfriend"

"oh, okay" Yvonne nodes and laid on her bed. She laid sideways so she could face Sandra who was also lying sideways facing her

" Tell me more about your cousin slush best friend "

" I've already told you everything you need to know about her. What else do you want to know?"

" Anything, like how she dealt with her hard headed boss"

"Ex, she's her ex boss" Yvonne corrected

" Yeah, so tell me"

Yvonne smiled when she thought of her Lina. She wondered how she was doing.

" Hello, where are you lost?" 

"I just realised how much I miss my Lina"

" Then call her"

" I will, but not today" Yvonne curved her lips up and continued to speak " That day I left Country A for school, Lina came to the airport to see me off. But who would have thought that, right after she got to the airport, her demanding boss will call to tell her to come to her office that very moment !"

"She did ask for permission right?" Sandra interrupted with a question

" Yeah, that's what she told me, and I know she really did ask for permission. Because my Lina has always been a  very responsible person"

" So, when she received the call, she told her boss she wasn't in the office and she will only be back after one and half hour. But her boss didn't want to listen to anything from her. She just hanged the call before Lina could finish speaking. 

Lina being a self conscious person felt embarrassed when the call got cut. Most especially, it happened in the presence of her lover."


"Indeed an embarrassment" Sandra said as she took a pillow and held it to her chest

Yvonne nodded and continued,  "Lina in her anger, called her boss back and told her off. She even told her to take her nest like office and swallow it down her throat to her stomach !"


" She did? That must have been so cool !"

Yvonne chuckled with a smile, " So that was how Lina ended her contract with her demanding ex boss. Am even glad she's free from the slavery which was in the clothing of a job !"

"I wish to meet your cousin slush best friend  one day. Do you think she will want me to be a part of the zone?"

" She wouldn't just want you to, she would love for you to be a part."

"Really? What about you?" 

Yvonne looked at Sandra as if she was an alien, "Aren't you already part of my zone?" Yvonne raised a brow at her friend as she questioned

" You're right, am already a part of you" 

Yvonne yawned, "I think we better sleep now, am sleepy" she said

"Okay, good night friend" Sandra wished before she closed her eyes 

" Good night friend " Yvonne said in a whisper  since she was seconds towards the dream land. But despite how she sounded, Lina heard her.


.....

How true and obsessive love can be starts with a process. The moment something begins, an outcome is already determined. It could be intended or unintended outcome but there will be an outcome.

Yvonne's and Emil's love intentionally or unintentionally began at the airport.
Seeing each other and being together after so many years, they had to separate once again.

But this time, its for three years.

"Can you please marry me already?" Emil asked

"Yeah,I can, but I have three conditions" Yvonne replied

Emil gaze deeply into her eyes wondering what she's going to say.

"You can't announce our marriage public until I tell you to..,
I will be your boss and you be the boss of others...,
and,Under no circumstance should you lie to me...!" Yvonne laid her conditions down.

Emil embraced her and softly whispered in her ear "your words are my command milady, but my condition is your third condition".
