CHAPTERS
Yan Anqing’s eyes visibly dimmed, and the words Chu Baiyan wanted to explain circled on his tongue a few times, but he never said them in the end. Yan Anqing lowered his gaze while holding the suitcase handle and repeated again, “You’re not going to the hotel.” “If I’m not going to the hotel, where am I supposed to sleep tonight, huh?” Chu Baiyan asked him gently, with a teasing tone. Yan Anqing stopped for a moment, thought about it and then said, “You can sleep at my place.” He…- 98.2 K • Completed
- The neighbor said the leak had started a few days ago, but it wasn’t serious then, so it didn’t affect normal use. He had planned to tell Chu Baiyan about it when he had time, but the leak suddenly turned into a downpour today, so he had no choice but to come upstairs at night. Chu Baiyan apologized repeatedly and promised he would deal with it as soon as possible. When he went back upstairs, he called the landlord to explain. The landlord took it seriously and said he would get a repairman to come…

- When he left the ocean park, the sunlight was already harsh. Yan Anqing put on his baseball cap, pressed the brim down to block the light, and walked quickly toward the entrance of the underground passage outside the main gate, completely unaware that he had become the “cold handsome guy” in the mouths of the mermaid performers. He knew this route so well that he wouldn’t get lost even with his eyes closed. Except for when he visited his grandma, he came here almost every day. It had rained last…

- Each transparent plastic box held two starfish, two “Chocolate” and two “Maldives Red Finger.” Yan Anqing knew both kinds, but there were none for sale in the pet market in Jindu. They could be bought online, but starfish often died during long-distance shipping. The four starfish in the boxes were not only big but also lively. He lifted the two tanks and observed the new members of his home from different angles. He felt so happy that he didn’t know how to express it. “Did you catch…

- Inside the box was a custom wooden base with the “Starfish Pottery” logo engraved on it. Chu Baiyan arranged the plate on the desk in his room, he admired it for a while, then took out his phone, took a few pictures, grabbed his car keys and left. After summer vacation started, the audience for the first show each day became larger than usual. Chu Baiyan slowly swam down from the surface of the water with his long tail trailing behind him. He saw Yan Anqing sitting in his usual spot and waved at…

- On Mondays when he had his day off, Chu Baiyan’s days were always the same. He would sleep in, get up to make lunch, then scroll through his phone and play games to kill time. He had only recently moved to Jindu and had no interest in going out alone. But today’s day off felt completely different because of Yan Anqing. That afternoon, the little rose had almost dried. Before glazing the other pieces, Yan Anqing brushed a thin layer of glaze on it and set it aside. The finished clay blanks were all…

- There were many things he wanted to say, but in the end, he only said that one sentence. Chu Baiyan wasn’t someone who had many friends and wouldn’t care about losing one. He wasn’t someone who approached others out of curiosity and then pushed them away after learning the truth. He wasn’t someone who would trample on another person’s kindness and sincerity. While he spoke, Grandma quietly observed the young man beside her. She had been a teacher for decades, and after so many years of…

- Following the sound, he saw a kind-faced grandmother standing at the entrance with a large bag in her hand. Through the glass partition, Chu Baiyan and the old woman met each other’s eyes, both surprised to see the other appear at such a time. Only Yan Anqing kept working on the last rose decoration for the cup, not distracted by anything. Even if the sky fell, he would still finish what was in his hands first. When all three roses were fixed onto the outer wall of the cup, he finally put down his…

- Yesterday during a break between shows, Chu Baiyan went to the Starfish Hall to find the keeper and ask where he could buy some rare starfish that could be raised at home. The keeper said the aquarium had a dedicated supplier and suggested he contact them directly. They didn’t sell retail, but if he mentioned it in advance, the supplier could bring a few when delivering to the aquarium. The keeper sent a voice message to the supplier and shared their WeChat contact with Chu Baiyan, then joked,…

- On the phone, Yan Anqing was still telling his grandma about how Chu Baiyan helped him watch the shop and brought him tofu pudding. His grandma laughed the whole time. That “merman” could do so much now, bringing breakfast, watching the store. What a vivid imagination it took to describe everything so real. “When Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Liu get here tomorrow, I’ll come over. I pickled a jar of salted duck eggs for you. Yesterday I asked Aunt Zhou to boil one to try, and it’s perfect. The…
