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 CH53

by DewdropTL — Chapter 53: N. Birthday Wish Su Hui was effortlessly drained of all strength; it had taken only six words and a few seconds. Ning Yixiao hadn't said "I hate you." He could have said it—he was the person in the world most entitled to say those words. Su Hui’s body was burning, his mind a void. His physical self and his thoughts seemed to be disintegrating, neither listening to the other’s commands. In terms of etiquette, he should have at least replied with a "Happy New Year," but he…

XR CH52

by DewdropTL — Chapter 52: N. New Year’s Gathering Something didn't feel right... the sensation was far too real. Su Hui, half-asleep, felt a sudden tickle in his nose. Before he could stop it, he leaned forward and sneezed. "Bless you." Ning Yixiao’s voice came from right beside him, doubling the sense of reality. Su Hui was startled. Just as he was about to look up, a second sneeze escaped him: "Achoo—" "Bless you." Ning Yixiao sat leisurely to the side, repeating the American idiom once…

XR CH51

by DewdropTL — Chapter 51: N. Making Up for Regrets Su Hui's birthday cake plan was progressing with extreme difficulty. He was a firm believer that "diligence makes up for clumsiness," so no matter how many times he failed, he kept trying his best. However, during this period, Su Hui had eaten so many failed chiffon cakes that he was nearly driven to madness. His desire for success even managed to suppress his social anxiety. To figure out what was going wrong, Su Hui took one of his failed cakes to a nearby…

XR CH50

by DewdropTL — Chapter 50: N. The Game of Choices Six years ago, Ning Yixiao had said the exact same thing. Su Hui’s mind was instantly pulled back to that past—a time when pleasure and pain were hopelessly intertwined. It was strange. After so many high-pressure "treatments," the electroshock and the heavy medication had long since reshaped his brain, leaving him dull and causing him to lose many important memories of his life. Yet, he remembered this bitter period with agonizing clarity. He could even clearly…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 5: P. Soul-Stirring ========================== Near the end of the semester, Ning Yixiao was elected as the new Vice Minister of the Study Department, preparing to take over from the senior who was about to graduate. His first task upon taking office was to organize a reading and film-viewing session—an activity he didn't consider particularly relevant to "study." In truth, Ning Yixiao rarely did things like reading unnecessary books or watching movies. All his time was dedicated to…

XR CH49

by DewdropTL — Chapter 49: P. A Lonely Farewell When Su Hui woke up, Ning Yixiao was already gone. On the table lay some bread, and underneath the plate was a note. The note was vague, covering everything in just a few sentences. Reading it, Su Hui was gradually engulfed by a great panic. He knew Ning Yixiao; if it weren't for something of extreme importance, he wouldn't have left like this, at least not without waiting for him to wake up. Unsure if his guess was correct, but for someone like Su Hui,…

XR CH48

by DewdropTL — Chapter 48: P. Black Shadows Su Hui had thought his grandmother would come to help him, but when she actually appeared, the guilt and shame made it difficult for him to face her. During their time apart, his grandmother seemed to have aged, her hair much whiter. She lacked her usual elegance and refinement; before she had even said two sentences, she began to cry. Su Hui hugged her and wiped away her tears, but he didn't want to accept her help. "I can manage on my own. Please take this money…

XR CH47

by DewdropTL — Chapter 47: P. Murphy’s Law Su Hui’s decision to run away from home was not a spur-of-the-moment act; he had wanted to escape for a long time, but he never knew where he could go. His attitude toward life had always been one of avoidance. Past attempts at rebellion were short-lived and ineffective—at most, he would wander outside for a single night before obediently returning home to face the consequences. But this time, Su Hui had no intention of ever going back. Ning Yixiao had given him a…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 46 | P. To-Do List When Ning Yixiao said the word "home," Su Hui thought that his heart had been completely captured, without a single trace of room left for anyone else. The world would not stand still, but at least in this moment, no one understood him better than Ning Yixiao. He followed Ning Yixiao back to that rented room. Three months ago, this place had been nothing more than somewhere to stay for a night, a refuge from a lonely, unbearable evening. But now, this small room was what…
