“Damn it.” Crude words he didn’t even know he could use swelled up in Banwes’s mouth. He flung the young man he had been carrying onto the battered bed of the abandoned house as if throwing down a sack. When Riarun mentioned “that” earlier, Banwes’s patience snapped as the memory of past sensations came flooding back. He scowled, double-checking that Yurichen had gone off to another room with Paronai. The dusty-smelling dark room, the bed where Riarun had lain— even the faint…- 183.7 K • Completed
The afternoon trek began promptly at two o'clock. This mountain was known as Bai Shi Shan, named after its white stones that resembled jade. The elevation wasn't particularly high, with a three-hour hike to the summit. The path was lined with stone steps, making it relatively flat. Trees dotted the landscape, even in winter, providing a lush green backdrop, making it an ideal winter destination. As they stepped onto the stone steps, Li Tang popped a candy into his mouth, relishing it slowly, licking…- 197.1 K • Completed
- After hearing what Jiang Lou said, Li Tang’s mind exploded with thoughts. As a self-proclaimed gay man since junior high, Li Tang wasn’t unfamiliar with such matters. However, even when they shared a room and a bed, Jiang Lou remained calm, leading Li Tang to believe that Jiang Lou was not entirely gay and still had reservations about being with another man. Although he didn’t resist their kisses, even displaying urgency and intensity… this matter was different from mere lip-locking. They would…

- Li Tang was unperturbed. "Your victory is your own, but how could I lose… I'm not even participating in a boxing match." Jiang Lou added a condition. "If we were on the same stage, competing in the same match." Li Tang pondered it over. "Then I'd avoid it, not compete against you in the same match." "What if you couldn't avoid it?" "There's always a way to avoid it, feign illness and withdraw from the competition or something." Jiang Lou let out a snorting laugh, seemingly at a loss for…

- Jiang Lou took his seat just as the announcer on stage introduced the next performance—a dance piece titled "Song of the Lark," choreographed by Su Qinhan from Class 2, Grade 2, with music played by Li Tang from Class 1, Grade 2. As the curtain lifted, blinding lights illuminated the stage. Jiang Lou saw Li Tang seated at a piano on the side of the stage, dressed in an elegant tuxedo, his back straight, long slender fingers touching the black and white keys. With each gentle press, beautiful music…

- After entering the house, Li Tang first called his mom to inform her that he wouldn't be returning home tonight. "The rain is too heavy, there are barely any cars on the road. The old city district's roads have cracks, it's very dangerous. Tell Master Sun not to come pick me up… I'm at a classmate's place, his family lives near the school… Has Dad already left?" Upon learning that Li Yuanshan had flown to the capital in the afternoon, Li Tang relaxed: "By the way, Mom, do you know why Dad went to…

- Due to the earthquake, school was closed on Monday, allowing Li Tang to have a long overdue lazy morning. Upon waking up and checking the news, he learned that there were only injuries reported and no fatalities, which lifted his spirits instantly. After finishing his ablutions and heading downstairs, Li Tang was thinking about the sandwiches left in the fridge that he could take with him on the go. He had agreed to help Jiang Lou fix the cracks in his house walls last night, which meant another day…

- Upon entering the house, they were just in time for the power to be restored, and the ceiling light flickered on. Li Tang hastily wiped his eyes. He wanted to break the habit of crying so easily. Today, he managed to hold back the tears, which only swirled in his eyes—a significant improvement. Even though Jiang Lou still noticed. Taking the tissue Jiang Lou handed him, Li Tang awkwardly changed the subject. "You mentioned something about sacrifice earlier. I didn't quite catch it." Jiang…

- Li Tang's mood was excellent all through evening study hours, as if he had taken some magical pill that made his leg painless and his arms full of energy. After finishing printing out the grammar lecture notes at the office, he even took a stack of parent notification letters from the head teacher, bringing them back to the class. The class president, Li Zichu, distributed the letters. He flipped through them briefly before his expression changed. Li Tang had already finished distributing the lecture…

- That night, when Li Tang returned home, he encountered the auntie who came out to greet him at the door. He hurriedly greeted her back before rushing upstairs without looking up. After taking a shower, he was even too embarrassed to look in the mirror. With a dry towel on his head, he pounced onto the bed. He had no sleepiness. Pulling out his phone to browse the forum, the screen was filled with discussions about sex, almost devoid of any emotional exchange. Modern people embraced fast food…
