XR CH104

by DewdropTL — During those initial days when he first arrived in the Bay Area and moved into the student dormitory, Ning Yixiao felt as though he had turned into an animal. An animal that was acutely, hyper-sensitively aware of everything around it. He could smell the faint trace of antiseptic seeping through the heavy perfume and deodorant of strangers, even if they just brushed shoulders in passing. He could hear a woman suppressing her sobs on a phone call across the street, the honking of horns on midnight…

XR CH22

by DewdropTL — Chapter 22: N. Time Passes, Things Change Ning Yixiao’s words carried a clear sense of aggression, leaving Su Hui feeling bewildered. He didn't understand why Ning Yixiao had appeared, why he felt the need to intervene, and certainly not why he had spoken that way. Seeing Liang Wen’s apologetic look and the way he tightened his grip on the paper bag, Su Hui didn't want him to feel guilty, so he said in a low voice, "It’s okay. I like it now. Give it to me." His tone was gentle and soft, just…

XR CH54

by DewdropTL — Chapter 54: N. Lingering Warmth They had kissed. Su Hui’s vision was obscured by the gray mist of cigarette smoke. His mind felt fogged over, his reason hijacked by alcohol, leaving him disoriented and believing he had truly returned to the past. Only the Ning Yixiao of the past would have kissed him. He had said he was 27, but Su Hui felt he was lying; only the 21-year-old Ning Yixiao would kiss him. Was it a dream? An illusion? Had my illness worsened again... Confusion and desire…

XR CH86

by DewdropTL — Chapter 86: Dislocated Memories Jingming never expected that setting up a simple airport pickup would turn into such an entertaining spectacle. He sat with his legs crossed, neck craned to watch Su Hui at the booth diagonally across from them, then glanced at Ning Yixiao, who sat opposite him with a chilling, dead-set expression. Jingming could barely contain his laughter. "Hey, I'm honestly so curious," Jingming said, ever the one to stir the pot. "Back in school, just how many people were in…

XR CH2

by DewdropTL — Su Hui lowered his eyes, gazing at the milk foam floating on his coffee. His thoughts were detached, his teeth clicked together, and finally, he opened his mouth. "I... I'm doing very well." Perhaps because his answer sounded too much like a non-sequitur, Ning Yixiao smiled. But he was very used to Su Hui being this way—he had always been like this: erratic, illogical, due to his illness. This lack of change gave Ning Yixiao a slight, strange sense of security. His assistant, Carl, having heard…

XR CH33

by DewdropTL — Chapter 33: N. Companionship and Healing Jing Ming got off the elevator and returned to his car before Ning Yixiao finally answered the phone. "Where are you?" Jing Ming asked aggressively. Ning Yixiao’s voice sounded listless. "Hotel." "A hotel? You’re not living in your own house and you’re running off to stay at a hotel? Did you lose your mind?" Jing Ming started the car and left the apartment parking lot. "Did you let your ex-boyfriend move in?" "How did you know?" Ning Yixiao…

XR CH97

by DewdropTL — Chapter 97: N. A Campus Date The MsnF founder's initial movement on social media completely astonished everyone and left behind high-magnitude, long-lasting ripples that kept the discussions alive for a very long time. A segment of the company's shareholders was clearly quite dissatisfied with Ning Yixiao's sudden high-profile official announcement, believing such actions to be far too risky. However, Ning Yixiao, who had always meticulously managed risk, did not think so. The unprecedented surge…

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…

XR CH44

by DewdropTL — Chapter 44: P. Fellow Outcasts Entering Su Hui’s room for the second time, Ning Yixiao’s role shifted from a comforter to a visitor. Su Hui’s state was much better than last time, which slightly eased the anxiety and restlessness in Ning Yixiao’s heart. Yet, because of the shift in perspective, he could now deeply and intuitively appreciate how beautiful the room was—something he had been too distracted to notice before. Su Hui found an exquisite photo album and opened it for Ning…

XR CH76

by DewdropTL — Chapter 76: N. The Dream of the Banana and the Deer Su Hui’s skin exuded an aroma of green grass and rum, enveloping Ning Yixiao’s body like a mist. His parted legs pressed against the edge of the sofa, his toes digging into the long-plush carpet, flushed with pink, trembling like an Icelandic ice cream after a rain. The absence of an embrace was unsettling, yet it brought an entirely new sensory experience. Like the tide outside the window, surging up and then falling. The way Su Hui kissed…
