CHAPTERS
On Monday, Chu Baiyan found an indoor swimming center. The ocean park also had a pool, but it was outdoors, with rides above it, and the crowds during summer break made it unsuitable for Yan Anqing. For Yan Anqing, swimming wasn’t just a sudden whim. Every time he saw Chu Baiyan dragging his fish tail and gliding through the water toward him, he always wanted to know what it felt like to be in the water. But since he couldn’t swim, that thought never went beyond curiosity. That afternoon, when he…- 98.2 K • Completed
- After dinner, it was still early when they got back. Yan Anqing took the starfishes out, put them in a special box, and fed them. Each starfish was turned over, and he placed a dried shrimp beside its mouth. Chu Baiyan walked over and saw the starfishes neatly arranged in three rows, the sight was too funny. “Why do you like starfishes?” Chu Baiyan wrapped his arms around Yan Anqing’s waist from behind. “When a star’s child falls into the sea, it becomes a starfish.” When Yan…

- Hot water dripped onto the tiles. Chu Baiyan stared at the splashing water, his gaze drifting uncontrollably to his feet, then up his ankles. Yan Anqing's skin became even more moisturized in the fine mist, and the water droplets on his body shimmered in the bright light. Without any obstruction, the pair of dimples on his lower back appeared. The water flowed down from his shoulder blades, caressing every inch of his skin before falling along his thighs to the ground. It seemed as if the…

- The shower at the swimming pool was a waste. The two of them hadn't even bothered to turn on the air conditioner upon entering, and now they were not only sweating but also covered in various liquids. "Let's shower." Chu Baiyan lowered his head and licked Yan Anqing's already slightly swollen lips. "I don't want to move..." Yan Anqing didn't even want to lift his arms, his soul still in its place. Chu Baiyan lifted himself up from the sofa, holding Yan Anqing's back and knees as…

- 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…

- 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…

- 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…

- 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 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.…

- 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…
