- What more could I hope for?The snow had stopped, and we had finished moving house.Xu Zhao’s house was just a two-bedroom place, with one room each for me and Brother Baichuan.It was all new, strange, and cold.Brother Baichuan placed the suitcase in the bedroom before coming over to ask which items I wanted him to unpack.He had lost a lot of weight recently too, dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep, less spirited than when he first arrived.“Just leave everything in the corner,” I said,…

- Jiangluo:I love you.It’s late at night on October 28th, and you’re sound asleep right now, looking so peaceful that I can’t tear my eyes away from you.But I dare not look anymore; I fear that staring at you will make me change the decision I’ve struggled to make.Do you remember our first meeting?

- Li Jiangluo turned off all the lights except for a small nightlight placed near the wall when he went upstairs. This was probably their habit; a little light at night was indeed better than complete darkness.I wasn't sleeping, sitting on the sofa smoking.My craving for cigarettes had been particularly strong in recent days, and Li Jiangluo was the same, chain-smoking one after another.His way of lighting a cigarette was extremely clumsy, probably because he rarely smoked before.The wall clock in Bolin's…

- "Li Jiangluo!"I don't know how loud my voice was when I shouted those three words, but the man who had half his body hanging out of the balcony finally stopped as if his soul had returned to his body.I ran over and pulled him down, at that moment, anger made me shake all over.If I had come out just one minute later, would Li Jiangluo have already jumped from the 27th floor?He looked at me blankly, his ears and nose red.

- Perhaps I should be the one to die.Xing Bolin's health examination report was like a thunderclap, jolting me out of my fantasy. In that instant, I experienced the numbing sensation from the top of my head to the tips of my fingers, my spine drenched in cold sweat.I snatched the paper from his brother's hands, staring at that row of words, then slapped myself hard.It hurt, it was real, I wasn't dreaming, and I wasn't seeing things. Bolin had indeed contracted HIV.What did this mean?I didn't bother to think…
