XR CH20.1

by DewdropTL — Chapter 20: N. The Uninvited Guest This kind of scene was something Su Hui had dreamt of several times. In fact, compared to a meeting like this, some of his dreams were even more direct—actual, literal weddings with white veils, bouquets, and buttercream cakes that seemed as if they were about to melt under the glare of expensive crystal chandeliers. In those dreams, Ning Yixiao would invite him; they would sit at opposite ends of a long table, happily recounting how precious their encounters with…

XR CH19

by DewdropTL — Chapter 19: N. At a Standstill The snow in Seattle grew heavier. Su Hui walked alone on the sidewalk, aimless. Liang Wen called three times before Su Hui finally answered. He spoke about Su Hui's glasses, but deftly probed for the full story, then told him it was hard to book a room for Christmas and suggested Su Hui stay at his place for the night. Su Hui wanted to refuse, but fearing his poor state would affect the next day’s exhibition, he agreed. Liang Wen came down to pick him up and,…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 18: P. Cherries and the Sea "All the cherries are finished." Su Hui patted his pockets. "I have more." Ning Yixiao gave his share to him, handing over everything he had in his pockets. "You don't like them?" Su Hui tilted his head. "Hmm," Ning Yixiao replied. "Not particularly." "Alright, then let's play Rock, Paper, Scissors one more time." Su Hui raised his hand to his shoulder, already prepared. "I don't believe I’ll lose again." Ning Yixiao had no choice but to play.…

XR CH17

by DewdropTL — Chapter 17: P. Sunset Lingxiao The first week of summer vacation was uneventful. Professor Wang held a few meetings and brought Ning Yixiao along each time. Later, he also included another student from the computer science department, Feng Cheng, who was in the same year as Ning Yixiao but a different class. Ning Yixiao felt he looked somewhat familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't place who he resembled. The original trio had become two, then returned to three. It felt as if things had changed, yet…

XR CH16

by DewdropTL — Chapter 16: P. A Special Gift After visiting the secret base, the two parted ways, returning to their respective places in the world. It felt like a dream that had ended abruptly, without a clear period at the end of the sentence. However, Ning Yixiao had received a gift of extraordinary significance. It was a palm-sized toy, the smallest and most inconspicuous piece of art in that factory, yet it had caught Ning Yixiao’s eye the moment he was about to leave. Su Hui told him that it was a plush…

XR CH15

by DewdropTL — Chapter 15: P. A Place of Refuge Su Hui pushed open the heavy door with force. The sight that met Ning Yixiao’s eyes left him frozen in place. He was like a man who had never believed in fairy tales, suddenly falling from the muddy reality of his life into an Alice-in-Wonderland dreamscape. The factory looked so ordinary from the outside, yet inside, it was filled with exquisite, unparalleled art—that was the first word that came to Ning Yixiao's mind, even though he had never truly…

XR CH14

by DewdropTL — Chapter 14: P. Secret Base Hearing this, Ning Yixiao was slightly stunned. In the future. He could understand the meaning—he knew this was Su Hui’s answer to his intrusive question—but Ning Yixiao dared not dig deeper. He knew it was more than just that. The damp, dark rental unit, the dim yellow light of the refrigerator, the quiet that followed the intimacy, and Su Hui’s unwavering gaze. Everything pointed to a subtext. In this game of spin-the-bottle, there was always a…

XR CH13

by DewdropTL — Chapter 13: P. Hanging in the Balance Ning Yixiao had always believed his heart was as hard as stone. He lived his life for the sole purpose of climbing upward, never to be swayed by anyone or anything. His social interactions were mostly utilitarian. He would weigh whether someone could help him or contribute to his next steps. With every person who approached him, he made a judgment: Could they be a friend? This depended entirely on their utility—like the professors who taught him, the classmates…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 12: Special Medication Ning Yixiao was wearing a cap, but Su Hui recognized him at the first glance. The headlights shimmered in the rain, casting long, wavering beams that looked like tangled ropes, binding them together. Ning Yixiao walked toward him through the rain, offering his habitual smile, asking with friendly concern, "Why are you here?" Su Hui’s hair was shorter than before, tousled by the wind. His expression was languid, possessing a youthful freedom, a kind of flickering,…

XR CH11

by DewdropTL — Chapter 11: Blue Rain Su Hui had zero interest in his grandfather’s birthday banquet. He was a picky eater and held no anticipation for those exquisite yet dull dishes. He preferred the old days—like when he was a child—when the family would huddle around the table, a large, old-fashioned buttercream cake in the center, accompanied by a lavish spread cooked by Aunty Chen But that was many years ago. Later, they rarely celebrated birthdays at home. On an occasion that should have been warm…
