On the last day of 2012, Fu Zichuan invited Xu Fei out for drinks. The bar was packed. Lights scattered from all directions, casting shadows on the floor like a tangle of grasping limbs. The band in the pit was letting loose, the guitar wailing so hard it sounded like the strings might snap at any moment. Xu Fei leaned against the bar, watching it all, overwhelmed by a strange sense of end-of-the-world euphoria. Fu Zichuan handed him a beer. “I heard you and Wang Mian broke up.” Xu Fei had no…-

When he woke up, daylight was already streaming in. Even with the curtains drawn, the bright sunlight spilled in like liquid mercury, painting the floor in a dull golden hue. Xu Fei clutched the blanket, groggily staring at the floor for a moment. Then suddenly, there was a loud clang from outside. He jolted, flipped upright in bed, and before he could even gather his thoughts, the bedroom door swung open. "Sorry," Liang Xuan said. "Knocked over the basin. Did I wake you?" Xu Fei blinked and replied…

They stayed in the small town for another day. At first, Liang Xuan didn’t seem able to face Xu Fei properly. He used the bike as an excuse and spent almost the entire day holed up at a repair shop. Xu Fei didn’t see him again until nearly evening. Liang Xuan was sitting at the bar of a small diner, scarfing down his food like he hadn’t eaten in days. He slid into the seat beside Xu Fei like a fish slipping through water, his whole body damp with sweat. There were smudges of dark grease on his…

For Xu Fei, life before 27 felt like a ball of yarn clawed to shit by a cat. Sometimes, when he got too high on weed, he’d even forget who he was. Just lay there on the floor, all skin and bones, thinking he was floating on clouds writing poetry. When he sobered up, the self-loathing hit hard. He wished he could reach through the mirror and tear off that pale, scruffy face of his. But right after the high came the crash, and in that weak-ass state, he didn’t have the strength or balls to do anything…

Xu Wanhe left in the middle of the night. When Yang Moshou woke up in the morning, the spot next to him was empty. Not a soul in sight. He lay in bed for a while and felt a bit cold, so he turned off the air conditioner. While he was at it, he lifted the covers and leaned over the sheets to look carefully. Not a single hair left behind, let alone a strand from the head. Didn’t expect the guy to be this clean. Even his hair follicles seemed well-trained. Since he woke up earlier than…-

Xu Wanhe stepped up and slapped the lead punk hard across the face. Loud and crisp. He didn’t hold back at all. The guy went straight to the ground, one side of his face burning red, ears ringing like crazy. The others saw how hard Xu Wanhe hit and instantly realized he wasn’t someone to mess with. None of them recognized him, but with their leader getting knocked down without even a fight, no one dared move. They let go of Yang Moshou and rushed over to help the guy up. “Boss, you okay?…

Xu Wanhe looked at Yang Moshou. “Come drive.” Yang Moshou turned his face slightly. “Huh? I don’t know how…” Xu Wanhe frowned. “What kind of man are you? Can’t even drive?” Yang Moshou shot back, "So what if you can drive? Real men know how to fuck from behind." Xu Wanhe choked on that one. For a second, he had no idea how to respond, so he just started the engine. After a long pause, he finally cursed. “If there was even one other person around, I wouldn’t be the…

After throwing up, Yang Moshou wanted to rinse his mouth, so he picked up a half-full glass of water on the table and chugged it.After rinsing, he realized there was nowhere to spit, so he spat it right back into the cup. Weirdly enough, he felt a lot more sober afterward. There was a dull ache behind him, and a lingering heat inside. But outside, the air was cold and biting. Yang Moshou stood there for a full minute, then slowly started buttoning up his shirt and turned back toward the…

Yang Moshou froze for a second, feeling a little pleased. “For real?” “Of course it’s real… come with me in a bit.” “In a bit? Then what are we doing now?” “Well, I’ve already wasted this much time. At least let me finish my meal first.” Yang Moshou figured that sounded fair enough. It’s easier to get things done after dark anyway. The guy added, “Why don’t you come eat with us?” Yang Moshou looked at the row of draft beers on the table. It felt like…

Just imagining Xu Wanhe losing it in rage after getting played gave Yang Moshou a twisted sense of satisfaction. But honestly, it wasn’t that satisfying. By the time he got home, he was drenched in sweat from the heat. While the air conditioner worked to cool the place down, he went to the bathroom and splashed water on his face. The water from the tap came out warm.It hit his face without easing the heat one bit. Yang Moshou straightened up and stared at the reflection in the…
