That night, Lin Ze walked through Bei Cheng Tian Street in a daze, glancing at his phone from time to time. The number's registered location was Chongqing. This meant Situ Ye had already returned. Why hadn't he come back to him? Was it disappointment? Or was it because he didn't know how to face each other? Lin Ze, wearing slippers, found a place to sit in the commercial district. His cotton T-shirt was wrinkled, and he had on athletic shorts. When he looked up at the glass wall of Starbucks, his…- 171.2 K • Completed
- Not long after returning from Tongjing that day, Zheng Jie's house was finally renovated, and Lin Ze actually felt a sense of relief. Recently, he had been avoiding Zheng Jie a little, though in reality, he didn't need to go out of his way to do so—Zheng Jie still worked from sunrise to sunset, and they hardly ever ran into each other. Zheng Jie took two days off specifically, and Lin Ze accompanied him to buy furniture and appliances. They arranged for the larger items to be delivered by the furniture…

- Zheng Jie returned to the back seat of the car, glanced at his phone, then at Lin Ze, and fell asleep shortly after, clearly exhausted. He probably hadn't slept well the night before. Lin Ze noticed this and, after some activity and chatting, the atmosphere became more relaxed. Everyone in the car was engaged in casual conversation. It seemed this trip would bring the department's employees much closer, as everyone had brought along their family or loved ones, offering a chance to learn about each…

- Lin Ze: "How was the blind date?" Zheng Jie: "Just so-so. What's all this about?" Zheng Jie curiously peeked at Lin Ze's messages. Lin Ze quickly put them away, making Zheng Jie sulk. "You've got secrets now, huh? Hiding things from Laozi." This put Lin Ze in a tough spot. They had never kept secrets from each other before. Reluctantly, he handed over the iPad. "It's not a secret. Go ahead and look if you want." As Zheng Jie read, he asked, "A'Ze, do you like him?" Lin Ze: "I don't…

- Lin Ze occupied a six-person table by himself, refusing to sit at the bar, which made the waiter quite exasperated. But since he was already here, he sprawled out unceremoniously, resting his elbows on the long bench, unable to stop thinking about their childhood memories—when exactly had he fallen for Zheng Jie? Was it during high school when they were assigned to different classes? Lin Ze was in the liberal arts stream, while Zheng Jie was in the sciences. They sneaked out at night to go online,…

- 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…

- "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,…
