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 CH71

by DewdropTL — Chapter 71: N. Found Again After two full days keeping vigil at the hospital, his grandmother was finally out of danger. The attending physician walked Su Hui through her condition and told him that as long as she made it through this stage steadily, her immune system would gradually recover. Everything was moving in the right direction. The weight that had been pressing on Su Hui's chest eased, just slightly. He had barely slept for two days. The caregiver urged him to go home and rest, but Su…

XR CH70

by DewdropTL — Chapter 70: P. Final Movement of Memory Ning Yixiao stood in the snow for a long time, until his hands and feet went stiff with cold. Only when a passerby came to ask if he needed help did he shake his head and make his way, step by step, back to the apartment he and Su Hui had shared. The date on his phone screen flipped from December 19th to December 20th. Ning Yixiao didn't sleep. He sat on the narrow two-seater sofa and felt how empty the room was. He turned on the television and found that the…

XR CH7

by DewdropTL — Chapter 7: P. A Two-Way Encounter The day Su Hui met Ning Yixiao was the worst day he had experienced in nearly a year. Caught in a depressive episode, he had been plagued by suicidal thoughts since the early hours of the previous night. He had made many decisions: he stayed up all night to finish his neglected reading, watered every plant in the garden, and returned to school at dawn to submit his completed assignments and return all his overdue books. He had been suffering from bipolar disorder…

XR CH69

by DewdropTL — Chapter 69: P. Desolate Snowy Night A few days after his mother's passing, Ning Yixiao received a call from Xu Zhi. He had learned of the news from somewhere and offered a few words of comfort over the phone. But because of what had happened with Su Hui, Ning Yixiao's impression of him was poor, and he received the condolences with cold indifference. "Your mother worked hard her whole life — who would have thought that in the end she still… Ah, I should have done more to repay her kindness. I…

XR CH68

by DewdropTL — Chapter 68: P. The Cold Front Approaches Su Hui slipped away from the car with no phone, no money, wearing an expensive coat, wandering the streets on memory alone until he found himself standing beneath Ning Yixiao's office building. It was the closest place to him. It was where Ning Yixiao was most likely to be at this hour. He waited downstairs for ten minutes, found the time unbearable, and walked inside. He'd come often enough that the security guard recognized him and greeted him…

XR CH67

by DewdropTL — Chapter 67: P. Love's Education It took nearly an hour for Su Hui to slowly digest this devastating news. It was as if his sky had always been a sheet of darkness, but he'd been lucky enough to have a few stars shining in it – so his nights weren't entirely lonely. But now, another star had gone out. The gardener came by to weed the garden – the last batch of winter weeds. Even with the glass door firmly locked, Su Hui seemed to smell the raw, grassy scent. He drew the curtains and ran to the…

XR CH66

by DewdropTL — Chapter 66: P. A Dream of Huai'an The December weather was miserable, but Su Hui's heart was warm, because he had one small goal: to make a birthday gift for Ning Yixiao. Everything he had ever made before was rooted in his own perception of the world. This was the first time he was pouring himself into something entirely for another person. On the train back to the capital, moving through one car after another, each identical to the last, he drifted between them. Every time he stepped through a…

XR CH65

by DewdropTL — Chapter 65: N. Letters Through the Years Su Hui stood there, stunned by these words. He thought it was a hallucination, so he secretly pinched his palm to confirm this wasn't a dream or a figment of his imagination. It hurt. He began to waver; a part of him desperately wanted to believe it was real, while another part dared not trust it. If this were six years ago, the 20-year-old Su Hui, hearing Ning Yixiao say he liked and loved him, would have been unable to sleep for joy, wanting to tell…

XR CH64

by DewdropTL — Chapter 64: N. Violent Assault "Thank you." Su Hui took the tissue from Ning Yixiao. His fingertips brushed against his hand, but he quickly lowered his head, wiping away the water that was about to drip down. Ryan didn't seem to notice anything. "Forget it, let me wipe it for you." Julian smiled and moved the tissue box from the side directly in front of Su Hui. "You didn't get it on your clothes, did you?" "No." Su Hui let out a breath, feeling that if he stayed any longer, the air would…
