CHAPTERS
On weekday nights, the number of customers was half of that on weekends, and Yan Anqing was happy to have some peace. The customer before had just left after buying a decorative plate. This kind of plate had a complicated shape and a high price, so few people bought it, and he usually made only a few. When he opened the cabinet under the wooden rack, only one was left in stock. He took it out, placed it in the empty slot, and adjusted its angle carefully. As he did, the bell at the door sounded, and the…- 98.2 K • Completed
- When the first performance ended, the two men beside him walked toward another exhibition hall and disappeared from Yan Anqing’s sight. On the way back, he kept thinking about the tall man’s hand resting on the slender man’s waist as they left the hall and about how close they were as they talked. Near four in the afternoon, after placing the clay pieces into the electric kiln and setting the time and temperature, Yan Anqing heard the “Welcome” sound. When he turned around, the two people who…

- Chu Baiyan's strong lung capacity quickly showed its advantage, and he explored every part of the minty mouth. The breaths of the two blended together, and Chu Baiyan was reluctant to let go of Yan Anqing's mouth until Yan Anqing was breathless from the kiss. Yan Anqing’s breathing was fast, and his cheeks were hot. He licked his lower lip that hurt a little from being sucked. “You can’t kiss other people like that.” “Only lovers kiss like that.” Chu Baiyan was defeated by his logic, and…

- He opened the door and went inside, and Chu Baiyan first went to the bathroom to wash the grease left on his hands from eating barbecue. Then he took a spare key from the drawer of the desk and handed it to Lu Ran. “Keep the key. Don’t rush about finding a job. Look around first. I’ll get another access card from the property office tomorrow morning, and I’ll message you so you can go there to pick it up.” Lu Ran took the key and placed it casually on the desk beside him, and his peripheral…

- The silence was broken when a variety of skewers of meat, fragrant with cumin and chili peppers, arrived on a sizzling iron plate. Lu Ran picked up the roasted pork belly and slurped the whole thing into his mouth. "This place is delicious." "Try the grilled chicken gizzards. They're marinated before grilling, so they're very flavorful." Chu Baiyan loved the texture of their grilled gizzards. Lu Ran ate another skewer of gizzards. He lifted his glass and poured the rest of his beer into his mouth.…

- After hanging up, Chu Baiyan shared his apartment address. Lu Ran replied with an “OK” emoji. The previous chat record was still from Lunar New Year, when Lu Ran had sent a “Happy New Year” message. Chu Baiyan scrolled further up. Almost every message between them was just holiday greetings. Saying they had drifted apart because they went to different universities was only a polite excuse they both used for a friendship that had faded. So much time had passed that the real reason no longer…

- The soft lips seemed to still carry the scent of cream when they brushed against his cheek in a light kiss. In that instant, all of Chu Baiyan’s senses stopped working. Even the movie seemed to go silent. In the quiet, the only thing that remained was the heat that spread wider and wider where those lips had touched his skin. When the sound from the screen reached his mind again, Yan Anqing was already sitting upright as if nothing had happened, as though that kiss had been an illusion. Even though…

- When the car started again, Yan Anqing leaned back. His ears grew hot for no reason. He reached out and turned the air vent upward so that the cold air could blow on his face. Monday mornings had the fewest people in business districts. After rush hour passed, there were no traffic jams on the road. Sunlight shone on the glass walls of the office buildings on both sides of the street and reflected a harsh glare. Chu Baiyan drove into the underground parking lot. He had checked online yesterday and…

- When he opened the photos, Yan Anqing swiped through them one by one. As he looked at the kitten eating canned food, he typed in the chat box, “The kitten grew again.” After a while, he received a voice message. Chu Baiyan asked, “What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?” Even though Chu Baiyan had moved out, Yan Anqing still didn’t like it. But now that Chu Baiyan kept in contact with him, telling him that he had fed the kitten, taken a shower, and was about to sleep, and said goodnight…

- Yan Anqing slept soundly. When he woke up in the morning, the other half of the bed was empty. Only the white tank top in his hand remained. He walked to the living room. Chu Baiyan was still asleep on the sofa. The blanket still only covered his stomach, and his upper body was completely bare. His muscles were tight and refined, and every line looked as beautiful as a Greek sculpture. The man still asleep had handsome features and deep outlines. Even without the long fishtail, he was dazzling enough…
