37. Falling Dream Part 2
The mist spread like a wash of color over a painting, its thin veil of white making everything seem unreal, stripped of authenticity. Even the heat of the water against his skin felt distant and vague. It should have been scalding. Yin Yan watched his skin redden, slowly confirming that the water was indeed hot, then turned the dial the other way. But no matter how high the temperature rose, he still felt cold. That layer of white mist didn’t feel like steam. It felt like frost. Before he could…-

36. Falling Dream Part 1
Lu Zhengming wanted to hold him. He lifted his hands halfway, then hesitated. After all, Yin Yan was an adult who could handle himself. His hands remained awkwardly suspended in the air until Yin Yan pressed them down and kissed him. “If you’re not going home, where else would you go?” “Beijing, maybe. There’s a special exhibition at the National Museum. Dutch painters from the seventeenth century. I looked it up, and they’ve got some good pieces, even a few of Rembrandt’s…-

"Who’s your girlfriend?" Lu Zhengming pressed his face against Yin Yan's neck, inhaling the warm, slightly dizzying scent of his skin. "Who’s your girlfriend…" He asked the same question again and again, sticking to his lips, kissing him a little and then asking again, the faint smell of chocolate lingering there. When they had just parked and unbuckled their seatbelts, Lu Zhengming felt the box in his pocket. He casually pulled it out and handed it to Yin Yan. "I have a gift…

When winter arrived, the department called everyone in for a meeting again. A few years ago, a student from the Printmaking Department had rented a house in a city village without heating. They used honeycomb coal for warmth and died from carbon monoxide poisoning. So, every year at this time, the school would crack down on off-campus rentals. The Oil Painting Department had always been a major trouble spot for violations. You can’t really blame the students; their works took up so much space. A…

30. Anxiety
Lu Zhengming caught a cold. He had a habit of doing things with a reckless disregard for the consequences, which gave him a carefree air. In reality... “You’re an idiot.” Yin Yan sat at the bedside, pulled the thermometer from his hand, and sighed. “Has the fever gone down?” Lu Zhengming touched his forehead. “I feel fine.” Yin Yan nodded and said helplessly, “Even if you don’t have class, you shouldn’t push yourself like this.” Lu Zhengming smiled but didn’t…-

3. George Dale
Lu Zhengming's mind was completely consumed by lust. The tension that had built up between him and Yin Yan seemed to become some sort of bizarre catalyst in this situation. As he kissed Yin Yan, he couldn’t help marveling at the absurd coincidence. He had thought that running into each other would lead to nothing but awkwardness and estrangement, but instead, it ignited an even greater, uncontrollable desire. Whether it was friendship turning into something more or simply indulging in forbidden fruit,…-

When Yin Yan received the phone call, it was morning. He was in the middle of class, simultaneously playing a slideshow and explaining the art of Italian Renaissance frescoes to his students. Lu Zhengming’s voice sounded weak, using a mix of serious demeanor and incoherent speech to report his address. Yin Yan remained silent, listening without interrupting until Lu Zhengming hung up. He then assigned the students a copying exercise before stepping out of the classroom. As he passed by the…

17. The Sun of Arles Part 3
Lu Zhengming didn’t just recognize the person in the painting, he recognized the painting itself. It was Yan Yan’s graduation piece, a self-portrait of her standing before an easel. Many parts of the painting had been altered by Yin Yan, especially the figure she had left unfinished, almost all of it had been completed by him. Lu Zhengming remembered that the original had a warm, classical brown tone, but now, not a single hint of warmth remained. The entire canvas was drowned in somber, oppressive…-

Lu Zhengming didn’t attend the graduation exhibition, and he was absent from the department’s group photo as well. He shut himself inside his studio, painting day and night for several days. His body was exhausted, but his mind felt light. He felt freer than ever before. As he had anticipated, his new piece was a success. Lu Zhengming opened the refrigerator, looking for a can of beer to celebrate, only to find a few bottles of mineral water. He searched the entire studio but couldn’t locate…

10. Occupation
If not for the five characters on the exterior wall spelling out “Academy Art Museum,” anyone walking into this gray Bauhaus-style building would think they had entered a construction site. There was only one week left in the countdown to the opening of the graduation exhibition, but the remodeling of the display walls had just been completed. The freshly painted walls emitted a damp latex paint smell, electricians stood on ladders checking the light tracks, and janitors crouched on the floor…-
