XR CH29

by DewdropTL — Chapter 29: N. Repeating the Past While receiving Su Hui’s email, Ning Yixiao was wearing his headphones, in the middle of a conference call. The person on the other end, unsettled by his silence, kept calling his name, finally dragging Ning Yixiao out of the quagmire of his memories. "Sorry, I was distracted." Ning Yixiao took a deep breath. "Where were we?" "Shaw, you don’t sound like you're in a good state. Let’s do this: you take a break, and I’ll organize the main points into an…

XR CH61

by DewdropTL — At the other end of the line, there was a momentary silence. Soon, Su Hui heard Ning Yixiao’s low, soft chuckle. He didn't guess; the laugh sounded like flirting. Su Hui felt a bit flushed. He tucked the booklet away, returned to his room, took off his coat, and collapsed onto the mattress on the floor. The sound of his skin rubbing against the pillow carried over, imbued with the temperature of an early spring evening. "Su Hui, you really are getting better and better." The sentence didn't…

XR CH72

by DewdropTL — Chapter 72: N. Sweet Surprise Ning Yixiao's meeting ran very late. The collaboration on the new product line had come together suddenly, and he found himself briefly stepping back into the role of engineer, helping guide the research and development team at Edge through the system upgrade. It was five in the morning before he could finally breathe after the heavy load of work and make his way back to the apartment. When he opened the door, the dining area light was still on. A few steps in, he…

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 CH31

by DewdropTL — Chapter 31: N. The Puzzle Plan When he said this, Su Hui didn’t feel sad; he was just numb. He couldn’t control his speech, couldn’t control his emotions, and couldn’t even process feedback normally. He just stared at Ning Yixiao, his face devoid of expression. Strangely, upon hearing those words, Ning Yixiao actually furrowed his brow, and an emotion that looked very much like pain flickered in his eyes. Su Hui had no way of deciphering it, nor did he want to speculate on Ning…

XR CH63

by DewdropTL — Chapter 63: N. Undercurrents Upon hearing these words, Su Hui couldn't quite describe his feelings. Suddenly, he snapped out of his sullen mood. What had Ning Yixiao done wrong? Even taking a step back, even if everything Carl said was true, Ning Yixiao had the right to associate with others. They were nothing to each other; Su Hui had no standing to be jealous. He was the one who had crossed the line from friend to something else, not Ning Yixiao. No one was obligated to tolerate his…

XR CH95

by DewdropTL — Chapter 95: N. An Oolong Meeting Su Hui had been deeply troubled recently, all starting from an incident where he was snapped by the paparazzi. In fact, the paparazzi hadn’t even been targeting him, but rather Jingming, who had recently been dating a Hollywood actress. It just so happened that Jingming had returned to the Bay Area and met up with him and Ning Yixiao for brunch before his date. The actress joined them shortly after, arriving in a luxury vehicle. Knowing that Su Hui found it…

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…

XR CH42

by DewdropTL — Chapter 42: P. First Gift Summer is as brief as a burning old shirt. Humidity, sweat, mugginess, and scents are all cast into the flames; while immersed in them, one is simply addicted to the raging fire, feeling that everything is about to disappear, yet feeling a sense of loss for the passing of old things. For Su Hui, the summer he spent having Ning Yixiao was perhaps the one he cherished most in his life, now burned away. He was used to being treated as an unspeakable patient. Even when he…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 74: N. Settling Every Score Ning Yixiao liked to plan, and he tended to be confident about the things he set out to do. So he had thought early on about how to tell the people around him once he and Su Hui got back together. When Carl walked in on them, he wasn't particularly embarrassed, just mildly annoyed that it didn't match the plan. What was strange was Carl's behavior afterward. First, he made oblique remarks suggesting their current PR team might not have the strongest risk management…
