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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 62: N. Old Butterfly, Old Wounds The wind outside was strong. Su Hui wrapped his coat tightly around himself and walked quickly. Seeing the convenience store Bella had mentioned, he pushed the door open and stood at the cigarette counter to choose. He spotted the Marlboros he used to smoke at a glance, but feeling unsettled and irritable, he chose a different, unfamiliar brand instead. "This one." "Alright. Would you like anything else?" "No, thank you." The wait for the checkout…

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…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 60: N. Two-Way Jealousy Su Hui couldn't guess. "Because my acting skills are too poor." Ning Yixiao smiled slightly. "Being good-looking is enough; it's not like you need to enter the entertainment industry." Being complimented on his appearance by him made Su Hui’s ears redden, especially in a setting like this. He retreated into the quilt, watching Ning Yixiao dressed neatly, as if he were about to leave immediately. "Are you in a hurry to get back to the Bay Area?" The morning…
