    • IRHT CH37: Extra Cover
      by DewdropTL — In the year Lin Congzhi turned 29, Xin Jue roped him into helping with the art exam prep course once again. Inside the training studio, he spotted a familiar face among the sea of students. Out of everyone sitting low to the ground, this particular student looked as though she was trying to shrink right under her drawing board. Lin Congzhi composed his breathing, turned around, and walked over to Xin Jue. Xin Jue raised his head in confusion: “Huh?” “Lu Jue? She’s repeating the year…

      IRHT CH16 Cover
      by DewdropTL — The more Lin Congzhi slept, the more he felt himself sinking downward. He had many dreams—or rather, he couldn't tell which parts were dreams and which were reality. He dreamed that he had never actually stepped off the cruise ship, that he was still in his cabin, with draft sketches and a few pencils scattered across the floor. There had been a period when he painted at night and slept during the day. The cruise ship's restaurant offered 24-hour dining, but late at night, it served mostly alcohol;…

      IRHT CH27 Cover
      by DewdropTL — Five years ago, Xiao Jingwen had been clutching a small bouquet of flowers. It had rained that afternoon, and the sky was scattered with stars. The night sky was crystal clear. Xiao Jingwen hadn't given any prior notice, simply waiting down here for him to come downstairs. In truth, he hadn't known back then whether Lin Congzhi was still in the studio; to be precise, that wasn't even the first time Xiao Jingwen had waited for him downstairs. He had waited a few times before, but had missed him…

      IRHT CH6 Cover
      by DewdropTL — Lin Congzhi had never spoken to anyone about these things before. All along, it wasn't that he was intentionally bottling them up inside; he just couldn't be bothered to talk. He hadn't expected that after airing it all out, he would actually feel a sense of relief. During those years on the cruise ship, he had honestly lived quite happily. The ocean was so vast, and the people on board were diverse and varied. Lin Congzhi didn't care for socializing, but hearing groups of people nearby laughing…
    • IRHT CH38: Extra Cover
      by DewdropTL — Lin Congzhi was thinking about buying a car. Although public transit in Yucheng was highly convenient—taking less than five minutes to walk from their villa to the subway entrance—getting around on rainy or snowy days was still tricky whenever Xiao Jingwen couldn't free up time to chauffeur him. At dinner that evening, Lin Congzhi mentioned his intention to purchase a vehicle. Xiao Jingwen looked up: "No problem. Which model do you like?" "Not really looking at anything fancy," Lin Congzhi…

      IRHT CH17 Cover
      by DewdropTL — Downstairs in the exhibition hall, Lin Lingyu looked at the bare walls and murmured, "Reduced to such poverty, yet still insisting on running a gallery." Zhang Miao spoke up, "That's not it, Teacher. It's been raining so much lately, so we had all our paintings stored in Gleam's warehouse." "Oh, so that's how it is." Lin Lingyu nodded. Zhang Miao was quite curious about her: "Teacher, have you ever thought about coming back to develop your career domestically?" "That? I've thought about…

      IRHT CH28 Cover
      by DewdropTL — Lin Lingyu and Hannah owned a small, detached two-story house in Seville. It was not particularly large, but in prime European real estate, it was more than enough for two people to live in. —However, hosting two entire families made it feel rather cramped! Lin Congzhi had to lift his wine glass high above his head, navigate past his maternal uncle—who sported a sizable beer belly—and Hannah’s uncle, whose waistline was equally formidable, step over the Corgi lounging on the floor, and push…

      IRHT CH7

      IRHT CH7 Cover
      by DewdropTL — At that moment, that bizarre desire to conquer surged within him once more. For a split second, Lin Congzhi even caught himself thinking, I really don’t believe I can’t coax you into bed, a thought that startled even himself. The night breeze was still blowing. On the dock, a patroller holding a flashlight wandered about, humming a song. Out on the sea, it was pitch-black; a beam of light shone across, only to be swallowed by the boundless darkness. The moon in the sky was just a thin sliver.…
    • IRHT CH39: Extra Cover
      by DewdropTL — “Student!” Someone shouted from behind Lin Congzhi. He heard it, but he didn’t stop walking. This was a university campus after all; if you shouted "student" here, it was entirely reasonable for eight hundred people to turn around. So Lin Congzhi didn't pay it any mind, nor did he think they were calling for him. Lin Congzhi put in his earphones, put on a live version of Antologia, and continued walking toward the campus stationery store. Class had just let out, and students downstairs beneath…

      IRHT CH18 Cover
      by DewdropTL — On the day of Gleam's summer auction, an extraordinarily heavy rainstorm hit Yuchen. The stairs leading into the subway station turned into waterfalls, and flood-relief supplies were piled high in parking lots. Under the torrential rain, the docks were entirely deserted, leaving only dark corrugated metal cargo containers to be pelted by the downpour with a relentless pitter-patter. The meteorological bureau issued a red alert for severe rainstorms today. On the roads, buses plowed forward as if…
