CHAPTERS
After Qin Yan and Zhou Langxing came back, they caught the third group’s guzheng performance. The little kids in the audience swayed their heads, almost everyone was seriously immersed. Qin Yan stood in the shade of a tree and spotted the chubby kid from his class secretly munching on chips. The event lasted nearly two hours, with a break in between since kids can’t sit still for long. Later, some of the children went to look for their parents, the line between adults and little ones blurred, and…- 132.6 K • Completed
- In the narrow room, the woman lifted her face and stared motionlessly at the tall window. The moment she woke up, she realized she had been placed under house arrest. She’d screamed all sorts of hysterical things— “Where’s the evidence? How can you detain me without proof?” “What about procedure? You can’t just arrest someone like this!” “Isn’t there any law? Let me out!” “Please—” But gradually, she became exhausted. No one responded to her. No one came…

- “You’re leaving?” “Now that your leg’s healed, how about a drink before you go?” “Strange—going all Zen on us? Come back and party with us till dawn… You’re really leaving? Lame!” As it neared 11 p.m., Zhou Langxing’s plan to sneak out was discovered by his friends. He managed to get away after drinking a glass of alcohol. Squeezing through the dance floor, his clothes and hair were a mess, and someone had even yanked off his cross necklace. Qin Yan was right not to…

- Zhou Shurong followed Qin Yan home and watched as he yawned and walked into the bathroom. Then, Zhou turned and went off to find Zhou Langxing. Zhou Langxing had neither gone home nor returned to the bar. After Qin Yan left in the car, he found a nearby hotel and checked in. Following that faint wisp of yin energy, Zhou Shurong twisted and turned through the corridors until he stood glaring at the door in front of him. The signal was coming from inside. Pressing his ear to the door, he vaguely…

- Zhou Shurong’s tool-person had good instincts and managed to escape just in time. Before the hospital was sealed off, he slipped out and brushed past a crowd of people. From within the shadows, Zhou Shurong could see what was happening outside. Then, in the midst of that crowd, he spotted a familiar face. —Ah Ling. That woman was still as pale and frail as ever, but her spirit had improved. There was a resolute, hopeful glimmer in her eyes. It caught Zhou Shurong off guard—she actually…

- Yesterday, Qin Yan came home very late. After taking a shower, he lay in bed tossing and turning, replaying the moment when that bowl of wontons had fallen to the floor—over and over in his head. He couldn’t sleep at all. Some inexplicable feeling stirred in his chest. He got up and lit an incense stick for Zhou Shurong, then used the twisting pattern of the smoke to judge that Zhou Shurong wasn’t at home. His mind shifted focus. He started thinking about where Zhou Shurong might have…

- On this particular day, Qin Yan’s brain was completely overrun with joy—he kept breaking into random bursts of laughter for no apparent reason. At lunch, he’d barely swallowed his first bite before he burst out laughing and choked, needing to gulp down a whole glass of water. Zhou Shurong seemed exasperated. They had agreed to minimize the use of his power—it was deeply tied to his existence and couldn’t be used recklessly. Yet he broke his own rule not long after, forcefully writing four…

- “Pop!” The bottle cap of the soda twisted off with a soft sound. That historical drama was already on its second episode. He’d missed a bit of the plot. When Zhou Langxing asked if they should rewind, he said it didn’t matter. Zhou Langxing set down the remote, and casually remarked, “You were in there for so long. If I didn’t know you went to the kitchen, I’d have thought you fell into the toilet. I was even thinking whether I should go look for you.” Qin Yan ignored how lame the…

- Zhou Shurong didn’t come back. Qin Yan waited the whole night. On repeat, the news talked about yesterday’s small-scale acid rain, with meteorologists throwing around technical terms he couldn’t understand. Online, it was all peace and joy, as if nothing had happened the day before. He put down his phone. His eyes ached with a deep soreness. The moment he stood up, the world spun in a surreal whirl, everything tilting and shifting. Only when he collapsed onto the floor did he realize his…

- After the wind and rain finally calmed, lots of people took advantage of the rare time off to go out and enjoy themselves. Just in case, everyone carried an umbrella when they left the house—some opened it to block the sun, some held it in their hand, and others tucked it into their bags. Zhou Langxing stopped at a red light, watching the different colored umbrellas weaving through the crowd. He had a new car now—an ostentatious, bright red one, almost festive. According to him, it was a…
