The next day at noon, Jiang Lou retrieved his voice recorder from Wang Yan. Wang Yan seemed reluctant. "What audio is it? Are you planning to confess your love to someone through the broadcasting station?" Jiang Lou said no, but Wang Yan remained curious. "Then what is it? The file is even encrypted…" Jiang Lou didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Have you let anyone else see it?" Wang Yan replied, "Of course not, there are no more than five people who can enter and exit the broadcasting…- 197.1 K • Completed
- The real cessation of all activities came deep into the night. Xucheng's night had an eerie stillness to it, and from the twenty-seventh floor, the sky was a tile-blue color drenched by rain. At that moment, Li Tang struggled to keep his eyelids open, asking Jiang Lou with a mix of satisfaction and envy, "Where did you learn all this?" "Learn what?" "These… moves." "You guess." "It must have been online, there's no way you could've known this without a teacher." Jiang Lou's hand…

- As the weekend approached, Li Tang decided to move their plans forward by a day, unwilling to risk missing out on their time together during the break. "There's no difference between four days and five," he reassured Jiang Lou, partly to convince himself as well. So, Jiang Lou booked a room in advance using his phone, and after Saturday night's study session, they met at the back gate of their school before taking a taxi to the hotel. Hardly had they gotten into the car when Li Tang pulled out his…

- On Monday, before morning reading class, Jiang Lou arrived at the classroom to tidy up the pile of books and test papers on his desk when the boy behind him leaned over and sniffed exaggeratedly. "Why do you smell so good today?" Jiang Lou was taken aback. Yesterday, he had showered but didn't change his clothes, using the rose-scented shower gel from Li Tang's bathroom. The scent of the shower gel alone wouldn't have lingered until now. The main reason was that Jiang Lou had spent the entire…

- The reason Li Tang dared to say such things was because he was certain they wouldn't be caught. Recently, Li Yuanshan wasn't at their home in Xucheng, while Zhang Zhaoyue continued her routine of rarely leaving her room. Every day, when Li Tang returned from his evening study sessions, she would already be asleep. In the morning, Li Tang left early, seldom encountering her. It was nearly eleven o'clock now, and if they moved quietly, they wouldn't disturb Zhang Zhaoyue. They could wake up earlier…

- Spring arrived earlier in Xucheng than in the capital, accompanied by drizzling rain that brought with it the damp scent of earth. Ginkgo trees sprouted new leaves, and willows unfurled tender green shoots. In the first monthly exam of the second semester of Grade 2, Li Tang advanced into the top hundred students of his grade, ranking eighty-eighth. It was also the first time he had entered the honor roll, his name inscribed on conspicuous red paper and posted on the bulletin board. Though still…

- On the first day of school, Li Tang got up early to check the class assignments at the school gate. Originally brimming with excitement, he was struck by a bolt from the blue—Jiang Lou and he weren't assigned to the same class. Due to his less than stellar grades in the previous semester, he ended up in Science Class 5, while Jiang Lou remained in the elite Science Class 1. Li Tang knew that there was no way he could have entered the elite class based on his grades alone. His enrollment in Class 1…

- The term of endearment Li Tang had chosen himself was now at the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say it, feeling embarrassed. After calling out the second time, he refused to speak again. Jiang Lou persistently kissed his neck, lingering on his collarbone, while Li Tang bit his lip, occasionally letting out faint breathy sounds. When his roommate Sun Yuxiang returned, they had already moved from the bed to their desks, each engrossed in their phones, seemingly focused on browsing…

- Jiang Lou had heard similar words countless times from different people. Just that morning, Wang Yan from the neighboring class confessed to him again, saying she still liked him and asking if, after so long, he was willing to reconsider. And Li Tang’s feelings for him were an already solved riddle; now, they were merely being put into words, unable to evoke any sense of surprise or reversal. Jiang Lou showed a mocking expression. "Did I ever let you like me?" Just like in the afternoon at…

- For several minutes, Li Tang thought he might have misheard or was having another nightmare. He couldn’t believe that the word “breakup” would come so easily from Jiang Lou’s mouth. His first reaction was disbelief: “…What did you say?” “Are you deaf now too?” Jiang Lou slowed down his speech, enunciating every word, “Let’s break up.” After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door. Li Tang watched in a daze as he pushed open the door and left, the sound of it…
