Zheng Jie's heart had finally healed, and everyone returned to their own paths. Xie Lei came and left, Situ Ye came and left, Yang Zhiyuan, Zhao Yuhang, Li Yanru... Many people passed through their lives like a revolving lantern, only to fade away in the end. Once again, it was just Lin Ze and Zheng Jie left, continuing their lives. Their own lives, yet lives lived together. Lin Ze tidied himself up, got a haircut, and when he looked in the mirror, he suddenly noticed his hairline had receded…- 171.2 K • Completed
- "What time did you get back?" Lin Ze asked as he entered. "Why isn't Zheng Jie home yet? You guys must have gone wild." Situ Ye was lying on the bed and replied, "I came back right after calling you. Zheng Jie met a pretty wealthy girl, probably still out having fun." Lin Ze thought to himself, right after calling? That was only at nine o'clock. He then called Zheng Jie, who was already in a taxi, having just dropped the girl off at her place. Lin Ze suddenly felt a bit depressed, thinking, "You…

- That evening, Zheng Jie got off work early and returned home in high spirits as if celebrating a holiday, bringing live shrimp with him. Lin Ze really didn't know what to do with him. Fortunately, Zheng Jie didn't show anything unusual. As soon as he entered, he whispered, "Where's sister?" Lin Ze pointed expressionlessly at the dining table. Zheng Jie immediately went over to chat with Li Yanru. Li Yanru had returned to her usual demeanor. Situ Ye came over to cook with Lin Ze while Zheng Jie knelt…

- Zheng Jie instantly turned into a zombie, his face looking like he was ready to ride the wind and depart. "Six months, twelve thousand," the gangster said. Zheng Jie replied wearily, "Don't have it, really don't." Situ Ye looked a bit puzzled but didn't interrupt—he wasn't fully aware of Zheng Jie's messy debts. The gangster continued, "Pay it all at once, and we'll leave you alone from now on." Zheng Jie had been hounded by debt collectors so often that he was completely numb. Someone had…

- When Lin Ze arrived at the hospital, Situ Ye was having his bone set. The corridor was empty except for Lin Ze. Situ Ye's agonized screams, hoarse from pain, twisted Lin Ze's heart into knots. He pushed the door open and entered. Situ Ye's forehead was drenched in sweat. The moment he saw Lin Ze, he clenched his teeth and held back his cries. His face was deathly pale, and when he looked up at Lin Ze, his expression was like that of a child who had done something wrong. His lips trembled uncontrollably,…

- That afternoon, Lin Ze first bought Situ Ye a new waist bag for 500 yuan. Situ Ye's expression immediately brightened, showing no trace of having just broken up. Zhao Yuhang, on the other hand, looked utterly heartbroken and began recounting his breakup story at Häagen-Dazs. This time, there wasn't much juicy gossip since he had already told Lin Ze most of it before. It was just that the feelings were gone, the love was gone. Today was the Lantern Festival, and Xiao Bai had initially agreed to spend it…

- —• VOLUME 2: Fireworks Under the Starry Sky •— I recorded Lin Ze's story about Xie Chenfeng and made some adjustments, adding ambiguous censorship. Of course, it also included my own whimsical embellishments—laziness in research, distorting facts, deliberately messing up the timeline to obscure the truth, wildly speculating about Lin Ze's feelings, and slapping on a bunch of unnecessary psychological descriptions to enhance immersion—all despicable acts that would make reportage writers…

- The next day, Xie Chenfeng had diarrhea. After Lin Ze got up, he busied himself with changing the sheets, clothes, and wiping Xie Chenfeng's body. Xie Chenfeng seemed uncomfortable and wanted to do it himself but lacked the strength. When Lin Ze took off his clothes, he saw Xie Chenfeng's emaciated body—he was already skin and bones, just like the patients he'd seen on TV. Lin Ze lifted him and realized how light he was—a man nearly six feet tall now weighed only around 120 pounds. Xie Chenfeng…

- Lin Ze successfully bought a sleeper ticket at a major train stop the next morning and bid farewell to his two card-playing companions to go sleep. He hadn't slept all night and was in a near-neurotic state, his back drenched in sweat. Lying on the upper bunk, he tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. Next to him were several children traveling with their grandparents to Guangzhou to reunite with their parents for the New Year. They screamed and played noisily the whole way, driving Lin Ze half-mad as…

- Before the New Year, a nursing home in another city made headlines when it was revealed that caregivers had forced elderly residents to drink urine. If this allegation was true, it would be a valuable piece of material, both socially and journalistically. But Lin Ze didn't show much interest, merely listening quietly as he turned on his recorder. The elderly man cried and shouted for a long time, his loud voice drawing the attention of many reporters. The nursing home staff quickly ushered him…
