The moment Wu Jinshan saw Song He, he turned around and walked away. Earlier that evening, Chen Xiucheng had messaged him saying the professor’s lecture had run late and he might be a bit delayed. Wu Jinshan had already gotten a bad feeling. Song He today was nothing like the person he’d met before. He wore a black button-up lined with gold thread along the collar and cuffs, the buttons undone all the way from the neck to the stomach. Every little movement made the faint outlines of his nipples…- 67.2 K • Completed
- After that argument with Lin Lu, Chen Xiucheng stopped speaking to him altogether. Lin Lu stayed mad for a while after going back, but probably got worn down by others. Most people liked Chen Xiucheng more, so everyone took his side. Eventually, Lin Lu came crawling back, shamelessly sucking up to him in every possible way. Over the next few days, Chen Xiucheng kept an ear out for anyone still gossiping about Wu Jinshan. Whenever he heard something, he would cuss them out right there. Armed with his…

- No one brought up the girlfriend thing again. It was as if none of it had ever happened. After class that afternoon, on the way back to the dorm, Chen Xiucheng took a detour to chase Lin Lu down for money. Over the past six months, he had lent Lin Lu over eight hundred yuan, and not once had Lin Lu paid him back. Every time, he would promise, "I'll pay you next time for sure," then disappear for days. This month, Chen Xiucheng was running low on living expenses and had no choice but to go get some of…

- The day he was hospitalized, Wu Jinshan’s second uncle and his stepmother Lin Xiulian came to visit. They brought some fresh fruit and clean underwear. His father was too tied up with work at the ranch to leave. Lin Xiulian was the woman his father had married later, and she treated Wu Jinshan decently. Wu Jinshan stayed in the hospital for two days. After confirming there were no major issues, he was discharged, though the doctor warned him to avoid strenuous activity for the next few days and get…

- On game day, Chen Xiucheng still came to watch Wu Jinshan play. He sat in the most noticeable spot in the stands, next to a girl with long black hair and a light-colored dress. Wu Jinshan didn’t notice at first. Chen Xiucheng arrived more than ten minutes into the first half, by which point the team had already scored once and morale was running high. Wu Jinshan was on the sideline chasing the ball when he happened to glance up and catch sight of him. It was the holidays, and not many people came…

- Wu Jinshan stood at the sink, pressing a towel soaked in cold water to his swollen left eye. Hiss. Damn, that hurt. He sucked in a sharp breath, glaring at his reflection. His handsome face was now lopsided, only one side left intact. The anger clogged his throat and nearly made him see stars. Fuck Chen Xiucheng. How was he supposed to go out like this? How was he supposed to face anyone? The shower in the next stall was still running. Wu Jinshan glanced at the blurry silhouette moving behind…

- The next day, Wu Jinshan woke up late. He didn’t run into Chen Xiucheng and had no idea what time he’d come back last night. His sleep had been restless, and he vaguely remembered hearing some noise, but his head was too foggy to wake up properly. The shattered mug in the hallway had already been cleaned up, but Wu Jinshan’s mood was still foul. The spot where he’d hit the back of his head still throbbed. When he touched it, it felt a little swollen, but he brushed it off. A bump like that…

- “Wha… what?” Wu Jinshan could only hope he had hit his head hard enough to start hallucinating. “I said, I’m going to get a girlfriend,” Chen Xiucheng repeated. “I’m not gay. Why the hell would I be fooling around with you in a dorm room?” This time, Wu Jinshan heard him clearly. But it still struck him as bizarre. Just a moment ago, the guy had been all over him, licking his chest. How did it suddenly turn into he's getting a girlfriend? As far as Wu Jinshan was concerned,…

- Wu Jinshan said nothing. He quietly reached into Chen Xiucheng’s hoodie pocket, took out the frog plushie, and placed it by the pillow. Then he lowered his head, caught the hem of Chen Xiucheng’s hoodie in his teeth, and lifted it above the navel, then nudged the fabric up toward the chest with the tip of his nose. Chen Xiucheng instinctively tried to push Wu Jinshan’s shoulders away, but they wouldn’t budge. That slightly coarse head of his pressed upward, and the short stubble at his temples…

- Chen Xiucheng thought Wu Jinshan was just saying that for show. He never expected that after class at exactly 7:10 p.m., the guy would show up right on time. He sat next to him at a row of night market barbecue stalls near campus and ordered two bowls of clear broth beef noodles and a plate of boiled edamame. A long table with two benches, over a dozen college guys sat around drinking beer, chatting, playing finger-guessing games, and having a blast skewering and eating meat. Amid the noisy, boisterous…
