Chapter 14 – It’s Alright to Cry
by Salted Fish — There were plenty of seats on the bus, and the two took their places. Jiang Lou said, "Don't go back this afternoon; those guys will likely wait until school lets out." Moreover, Xucheng High School was currently hosting a sports meet, its gates wide open, making it easy to sneak in. The last time they encountered them was after evening study hours, when the darkness concealed even a brawl. Now, in broad daylight, if school administrators got involved… It was indeed dangerous. But Li Tang had…

Chapter 13 – Unable to Swallow
by Salted Fish — Chapter 13: Unable to Swallow On the second day of the sports meet, a morning rain did little to dampen the students' spirits; their cheers shook the sky. Li Tang traded a bag of snacks for an hour of coverage from a fellow announcer. As he called out over the broadcast, "Students participating in the men's long jump, please gather at the southeast corner of the field," he carried a sealed bottle of water and headed that way. The broadcast station was located right in the middle of the field,…

Chapter 12 – See You Tomorrow
by Salted Fish — On Monday morning, when Li Tang descended downstairs, it was no surprise to see a gift box placed on the dining table. Auntie came out from the kitchen, wiping her hands, "This was sent back by Master. He said it's your birthday present." Taking a bite of the fried dough stick, chewing slowly, he opened the box to find a watch inside. He usually didn't have much appetite in the morning. Li Tang drank half a cup of soy milk, then returned upstairs, opening the drawer of his bedroom cabinet, tossing…

Chapter 11 – It’s All Your Fault
by Salted Fish — If Jiang Lou hadn't mentioned it, Li Tang wouldn't have realized he was crying. A belated sense of embarrassment washed over him, and he hastily wiped his eyes, smearing tears across his face. As they evaporated more quickly, a chill spread across his skin. "I, I…" Li Tang couldn't explain his actions; he found them absurd—why should he be so upset? Why did he come looking for Jiang Lou when he felt this way? Was it simply because Jiang Lou was one of the reasons for his…

Chapter 10 – Why Are You Crying?
by Salted Fish — Li Tang had been preparing for this birthday party for over a week. Even though it didn’t show on the surface, as someone from the capital city at the feet of the imperial palace, Li Tang felt a certain burden when in front of his classmates from smaller cities. Therefore, his birthday party had to be unique, it couldn’t be a letdown. It couldn’t lose face. Li Tang asked Auntie to find him a chef with two requirements: they had to be famous locally and could provide catering services at…

Chapter 9 – Stupid Fox
by Salted Fish — When Li Tang returned to the room, the commotion had ceased. Everyone had returned to their seats. Cao Yang was duetting with Li Meiqi on "Roof," their gazes filled with affection. On the other side, Huo Xichen and the square-faced boy were glaring at each other from across the room, the air thick with tension. Seeing Jiang Lou and Li Tang enter together, Huo Xichen looked away, surprised and delighted. "Lou… Brother Jiang, when did you arrive?" "Just now," Jiang Lou said, sitting down in the…

Chapter 8 – Unexpected Joy
by Salted Fish — On that night, Li Tang lay on his back on the bed, running his fingers over the fresh bandage wrapped around his wrist. Recalling the events that had occurred just hours ago, Li Tang couldn’t help but wonder, did he often get hurt? Otherwise, why would he carry bandages with him and apply them so skillfully? His fingers delved between the bandage and skin, lightly pressing at first. A faint pain emerged. Then, applying more force, he pinched with two fingers, causing a greater wave of pain to…

Chapter 7 – You Are the First
by Salted Fish — Initially, the lights were off, and Li Tang virtually felt his way inside. As the switch was pressed, the ceiling lamp flickered on, and he reflexively closed his eyes due to the sudden brightness. When he opened them again, the scene before him left Li Tang slightly startled. The room was smaller than he imagined, lacking any decent furniture. Two folding tables leaned against the wall riddled with cracks; one held kitchen utensils and dishes, while the other was piled high with books. A…

Chapter 6 – How Could I Know
by Salted Fish — They settled their bills separately, and the two chatted for a bit at the entrance of the small store. "Do you live around here?" Li Tang asked. "Mm." Jiang Lou said, "Do you live nearby too?" "No, just passing through." "Have you been here before?" Li Tang looked around. "No, I think I came to Xucheng once when I was very young, but I didn’t get to see much." As he spoke, he noticed that Jiang Lou was looking at him. That gaze seemed to… be probing? But it was only for an instant;…

Chapter 5 – Confession?
by Salted Fish — Li Tang couldn’t make sense of what Jiang Lou was saying, what did he mean by "stop pretending"? Wasn’t it normal to be more terrified when mugged late at night? As for "do you know who I am," Li Tang pondered over it and came up with a guess: "Could it be that you were once part of their gang?" Back home, lying in bed, Li Tang replayed Jiang Lou’s expression over and over again. He could only discern a hint of confusion and a subtle sense of difficulty to express himself. He had forgotten…
