Ye Zhou felt his eyes light up, for although he himself wasn't bad-looking, it was rare to see such a pleasingly handsome man.His personality was open and he wasn't easily intimidated, so he quickly replied, "Hello, my name is Ye Zhou. I live next door to you, so we'll be neighbors from now on. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know."Guan Heng nodded at him, polite yet warm, "Thank you."Their conversation ended there, without any unnecessary small talk. After all, they had just met;…- 134.8 K • Completed
- At eight o'clock in the evening, the Zhoujishi Bar, tucked away in a narrow alley, had just opened its doors for business, already welcoming a steady stream of customers.This bar wasn't situated on a bustling main street, but rather in a secluded lane. During the day, it operated as a restaurant, and at night, it transformed into a quiet bar. Its subdued atmosphere made it a popular spot for nearby office workers and college students to gather.Ye Zhou and Fang Ji were both owners of the establishment, with…

- Today, Ye Zhou had more customers than usual at noon, and once he got busy, he forgot about his worries. But when things quieted down after lunch, he couldn't help but recall the scene from that morning.He considered himself someone who didn't pry into others' private lives, but what happened that morning was impossible to ignore. He was dying with curiosity. Yet, he couldn't understand... what was there to be afraid of about someone like Guan Heng? Could it be that his judgment was off, and Guan Heng,…

The church bells chimed melodiously. A few birds fluttered and soared into the clear blue sky.Light footsteps approached from ahead, and someone drew near."Is he alright?" asked a kind elderly woman with snow-white hair.Felix shook his head, gently shifting to let Erik's head rest more comfortably on his lap. Erik had stopped sobbing, but Felix thought he probably couldn't face anyone else in his current state. He kept one arm around Erik's shoulders and used the other to tenderly stroke his hair."And you,…- 54.1 K • Completed
- "Felix, how much time do we have left?" He looked up at the clock on the church tower."I've brought everything with me. I think we don't need to take a detour back to the climbing gym, so we still have half an hour to get to the train station," Felix said.Erik didn't respond immediately. He lowered his head thoughtfully, gazing at the flowerbed in front of him: in front of the dark gray marble tombstone, purple, white, and yellow daisies had recently been planted. He had just watered them with the…

- "I was born in this town," Felix said. "That's the church where I was baptized."They stood together in the parish cemetery, facing a patch of pansies blooming in front of the gray granite headstones and the golden-edged ivy covering the ground. Paths paved with fine orange-brown gravel separated the adjacent graves, leading to the simple, modest Evangelical Lutheran church not far ahead and the chestnut forest surrounding the cemetery. The open area in the southeast corner was a green meadow, stretching to…

- "In a way, that car accident saved me—otherwise, I really don't know what I might have done when I got home that day," Felix said.He rested his head on Erik's shoulder, his cheek against Erik's chest; Erik held him with one arm and tightly grasped his hand with the other. Their fingers intertwined, their bodies nestled together, Felix's ankle wrapped around Erik's calf—as if this brought them both a sense of peace."I was in the hospital for a few weeks. My mom and stepdad came from another city to take…

- The sky outside had completely darkened. The room was unlit. They couldn't see each other clearly, but it didn't matter. They lay lazily in each other's arms, as content as cats by a fireplace. The sheets and duvet had been changed, and their bodies and hair were clean and fresh.Felix's hair carried a pleasant fragrance, and his body emitted a sweet, citrusy scent. Erik couldn't help but move closer to him, savoring the enchanting aroma.He noticed Felix was staring intently at the ceiling.“What are you…

- "Sorry, what did you say?" Felix pulled down his headphones and asked."Dinner's ready," Erik said. "What were you doing? I knocked on the door for a long time outside.""I didn't know you needed to knock to enter your own bedroom," Felix said with a smile."I was listening to music," he showed him the phone screen. "Luke Faulkner's piano pieces. Want to listen together?""Of course.""We can listen while eating," Felix said, standing up.They walked to the living room and sat down at the dining table. In the…

- "Kitty.""What?""Someone told me you look like a... kitten," Erik said.The two of them were lying face to face on the bed, Felix's head resting on his arm; he used his other hand to run through those fine, soft golden locks."I wasn't happy when I heard it. But now... well, I think there might be some truth to it."Felix chuckled, turning his head as if to bite Erik's finger."What did that person compare you to?" he asked."Hercules," Erik replied with a smile, continuing to play with his hair."Nonsense. I…
